Merry Moose for As You See It
29 July 2020
Happy Wednesday. It's hump day and are officially on our way to the weekend! I have a card for you today - clean and simple - using Merry Moose from the new Stampin' Up catalog. Except, it doesn't feature the moose - just the tree stamp. I was inspired to make this card for the As You See It challenge - and it's a speed stamping challenge!
I made this card from start to finish in 9 minutes... a record for me. I used the tree from the Merry Moose set and stamped it with a darker green in the middle and a lighter green for the two side trees to add a little depth. I added the sentiment and an embossed stitched frame and it was ready to go!
Here's my card:
I'll be back tomorrow with another card. In the meantime, what has been visiting the feeder? This little guy was moving so fast and so often that I couldn't get a photo of him that was in focus. I took 10 shots and this is the best of them! He didn't hang around long.
He's going to be a very handsome male Cardinal soon! Warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift today.
Hugs
Jaydee

Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of birds at your feeder. I enjoy your bird pictures as much as your cards. I live in the western part of Canada, so many of your birds are not ones that I’m familiar within.

Marina, thinking about it, I think they would have looked better if they weren't straight. If they aren't all stamped on the same plane, you can join them together with some green marker like I did above. So, I think you will be totally fine without the stamping tool!

Beautiful card . . . very clear and simple, but beautiful!! I hope I can make it . . . I do not have the Stamparatous but will try to align the trees.

Perfectly lovely card with a perfect image for an element of three speed stamping challenge, Jaydee! I love that you used the two shades of green for the depth it gave! Thanks for getting your adrenaline pumping with us at As You See It Challenges!

I did a double-take when I read your post title as I thought - Jaydee's card didn't feature a moose?! Then I read your post - and it all makes sense!! Your trio of trees is just perfect - beautifully executed and classic Jaydee CAS perfection. Fabulous! Thanks for playing along with our 10 minute speed challenge over at As You See It this week!
