This week at Bah! Humbug! we are digging deep into our craftroom stock and finding those long forgotten peel offs. I still love to use peel offs for borders and sentiments, but when I first started cardmaking with my daughter, we seemed to buy some very weird and wonderful peel off sheets that have never seen the light of day.
Well, this week with the challenge of using peel offs to create a Christmas card at Bah! Humbug! I got some of them out. I found a sheet that I really liked with small Christmas trees on and a stag in full flight. With fingers crossed I got out my Cuttlebug village embossing folder to see if the proportions would fit together okay. I was really pleased to find they did and went on to create these two cards.
I used core'dinations cardstock and the village Cuttlebug embossing folder for the main scene on both cards. After embossing I sanded the card to reveal the white core and then used a white glaze pen and glitter to touch up the roof tops, etc. The peel off tree and sentiment were stuck directly on to the scene in the second card. The deer was stuck on to blue card and then attached to the base card. Then I glittered the surrounding area to create the snow effect.
Both cards have silver peel off borders and sentiments. The snowflakes were made using a Quickcutz die and a small punch.Thank you so much for looking and for your lovely comments (fingers crossed and hopeful to get some). Hope to see you joining in at Bah! Humbug! this week.

LOvely card Ann and the peel offs certainly add that little extra interest. I never used my winter house cuttlebug folder at Christmas as it looked something and nothing but with the peel offs it is really nice.
