Make handwritten notes even more special with cards you create yourself. Print our clip-art deer designs onto card stock, apply glue using a fine-tipped bottle, and cover with glitter. Use a limited palette to yield an elegant look.

I think the design is a lovely idea, but the method is time consuming. Martha has taught us how to make our own animal stamps. Remember the show last week where they made all the beautiful animal prints? Make your own deer stamps, stamp the image with glue instead of ink and then glitter the card. Quick and easy.
I love the design of this card, but the detailing is so small, even with a super fine point glue pen. Even with a tooth pick dipped in glue, this presented challenges. I feel this design takes too much effort and too much time to make it look as beautiful as it does in the picture.
