My original idea to have a whole row of reindeer with their names just wouldn't fit on the card size I wanted to use, so I simplified my design and ended up making three cards instead of one,  Well, I'd spent ages cutting all those little reindeer 'bits' already

 

Info

The first two cards have 3 reindeer each, two with black noses and Rudolf has a glittery red nose of course.

The dies are ancient QuicKutz ones that tend to make an appearance each Christmas because they are so cute and easy to use.  I have several other deer dies, but for some reason I struggle to use them.

I made some new Black and White sentiments on the pc and added some red and white baker's twine for some extra detail

Now I only had one reindeer left, and I was too lazy to cut more so I delved into my little box of unused die cuts and found a few that would work together to make an 'assemblage' 

There's a simple black tree (old Cuttlebug die). some red and gold snowflakes and stars and a few red gems all arranged on a gold glitter card Scribble Circle (Tonic Studios)/ I added rhw same kind of sentiment and twine elements to make it part of the set of three.

That's it for this time, I hope you like them it would be great to hear from you.  I'd be really interested to know how you get on with deer dies - I keep buying them but never feel really happy with what I make with them.  Yes, I know that's bonkers!
