Happy New Deer Standing Box Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hello again,

I decided to take a break from Christmas and make one of another category.  Today's card is a happy new year card.  I can't recall ever making one before and I certainly don't know why.  Maybe because it is so close after Christmas.  Anyway, I bought this stamp a couple of years ago and I've never used it.  Actually, I have a number of things that I've purchased and haven't yet used.  The sad truth comes out!

For this card I decided to used the Standing Box Card fold again.  I made one about a month or two ago and posted it on my blog.

It was fun to make and I think it looks like a happy little card.  Just love the little deer.
