Golden Reindeer

This week I've been sharing my "this leads to that" creative process and this card represents the end of the chain.

Finding a good home for the negative piece of cardstock leftover when die cutting

On Wednesday I shared a card for which I cut a reindeer from Early Espresso cardstock - well this is what happened to the negative piece - a little bit of gold turns negative to positive!

It's always good to have a bit of gold at Christmas!

I simply laid the Early Espresso piece on top of a piece of Gold Foil Sheet and placed it onto my card.  I gold heat embossed the label from Seasonal Bells and cut it out with the coordinating die in the Bunch of Banners Framelits.

I also took the opportunity to use up a piece of the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I'm not sure where I was going with the diagonal cut at the time but I used it in this card by simply gluing it to the Early Espresso base card.

Saving cardstock by using both the positive and negative images when die cutting

Here are the two reindeers reunited!

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!
