Hi friends! Today's card was inspired by the challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!
The bottom photo on the right inspired my card. I have to admit that last year when the stag stamps and dies came out I was NOT a fan. This year is a different story, I can't get enough of them. haha Does that happen to anyone? This one by Julie Ebersole/Ellen Hutson is one of my favorites!
AND because I couldn't decide which stag die I was going to use, I made another one using this stag die by WPlus9!
To give thickness to my stag dies I used Craft-a-Board by Ellen Hutson. It is a chip-board like material that is thin enough to use with your dies. I like to use this instead of layering 3-4 die cuts using paper. For these I cut through the Craft-a-board then glued a white die cut on top. The craft-a-board is a cream color and I wanted my stags white.
Do you have a favorite stag die? I decided that I love both of these.
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

I think I'm two years behind! Didn't notice the stag dies last year, but am liking them this year and am deciding if I "need" them. Love your card Kristie!
