Sweet Reindeer

Hello and TGIF, everyone! The Minnesota State Fair is in full swing but I avoid it - too hot & humid with huge crowds. Instead, I stay home and craft - lol. My card today fits a few challenges:


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Spellbinders A2 card & Betterpress Pebble; scraps
Pressplate w/dies - Spellbinders Home for Christmas Sentiments
Dies - Memory Box Festive Fawn;
Poppystamps Scandinavian Snowflake Plate (retired);
Birch Press Design Wavy Hillside (retired)
Other - B0000 Copic; foam tape; white gel pen

I was excited to see that the September CAS Christmas Challenge has Woodland Critters as the theme. Then I popped over to Christmas Kickstart Challenge #114 where I found that Jo and her elf Loll are doing Reindeer Games. Wow - a perfect pairing for a new Memory Box die I ordered in August!

I die cut the deer from scraps of cardstock and assembled. I die cut a snowflake coverplate and snowy hill (lined with a Copic) & added to an A2 card. Popped the deer onto the card with foam tape (just behind the head). Added a Betterpressed sentiment from the stash and some gel pen details to the deer. Done!

I will also send my reindeer to Merry Little Christmas Challenge #70 where anything Christmas Goes. I'm also playing at Darnell's September NBUS Challenge #90 since my reindeer die set got first use here.

Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty weekend!! I'm sure to be back with my entry to Craft Roulette Episode #335 which airs tonight at 6:30pm (slideshow from last week starts at about 6:10pm).

What a sweet little die Linda, he’s adorable! I bet you have other things in your stash that scarf would fit, too. Great challenge combo card.

Just adorable Linda. Such a cute reindeer. I'm sitting at my friend's for the weekend... and seeing this reminded me that I have a little reindeer die. I just love how this one turned out!

The nordic Scandi snowflake background is a great touch with the reindeer!

Darnell said...

Eep! That fawn is adorable, Linda! I must not buy because, yes, one can have too many reindeer. No they can't. Yes they can. You see what mental anguish you have caused me with this sweet sweet card, lol! I love the background you created, too! The whole design is absolutely perfect for the two critter challenges and, of course, thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! (Sorry to be tardy in commenting; blogger was in a snit!) Hugs, Darnell
