Framed Fox Christmas Card

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today our theme is wide open! We can share whatever we’ve been working on. Well, you guessed it. I’ve been working on Christmas cards. For my card today, I used the fox paper from the One Horse Open Sleigh paper pack that is an online exclusive. (Items that are not found in the catalog but can only be seen online.)

I originally saw a card very similar to this made by the talented Sharon from As the Ink Dries. She made a similar card using the deer paper from the Winter Meadow pack of Designer Series Paper. I had to try something similar with this paper.

I just love the way the frame around the fox really showcases him. It keeps the card simple but makes a striking statement.

instructons for the Framed fox Christmas card

1. Cut a sheet of Cajun Craze card stock 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″.
2. Cut a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ mat of Pecan Pie card stock to the card base.
3. Find the “fox” piece of paper from the One Horse Open Sleigh paper pack and trim it to 5 1/4″ x 4″ in “Portrait” layout.
4. Next take the two largest squares from the Stylish Shapes dies and center them around the fox. Use low tack tape to hold the dies in place while running them through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine.
