Merry Moose

Have another Moose you say?  Why thank you, I think I will!  This guy is just so cute I think he's the perfect Merry Christmoose!


This card was so easy, once I stamped all my alpha's of course.  If you miss yesterday's post about working with the Labeler Alphabet, click HERE to see it.  Something I forgot to mention in yesterday's post was about this great little tip I heard on facebook.  This is especially helpful when working with the small photopolymer stamps that can so easily get lost.

I purchased a small acrylic photo frame and then wrapped the ends with washi tape so I wouldn't lose the frame on the table.  Then I keep it nearby and place my small stamps on it as I'm using them.  This works especially well when using alpha's when you need to use certain letters over and over.


Recipe:
Real Red - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White 5 1/4" x 4" (times 2 - one for inside)
Real Red - scrap for stamping and cutting hat and "merry"
Crumb Cake - for stamping moose
Dazzling Diamonds for hat trimmings
Ink:  Real Red and Soft Suede


I popped up the Whisper White and the Moose with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Jolly Moose

When you have an adorable moose like the one in the Jolly Friends set, you can't help but make a Merry Christmoose card!  Of course, it was time to pull out the Labeler Alphabet again and make the words just right!


When you use the Labeler Alphabet, remember to plan ahead, have plenty of room to do what you want and be prepared before you begin.




So I started over, measured how much space I would need and made a mark on my paper to know where to start my letters.  I ended up making eight of them with random spacing.  That's the really nice part of this alphabet, you don't have to be perfect.




Card Recipe:

Crumb Cake - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White for stamping sentiment
Real Red - scraps for hat
Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper for hat trim.
Soft Suede for stamping the moose and for coloring the moose with sponge daubers
and yes... you have to fussy cut the moose.  Cut out the antlers first - trust me on this.


When I cut the words into strips, I used a post-it note to hold it when I got down to the last strip.  It also made me realize that perhaps I should use a light pencil line to make it just a tad straighter!


Thank you for looking in today.  To purchase anything you need to make this cute card, click on any of the items below.

Happy (ugh) Monday!    ~ Donna
