Reindeer Fun

Last week, I spotlighted the Reindeer Fun Bundle and Reindeer Days DSP. This may be my favorite suite in the holiday catalog. I love the way the dies cut the deer so that you can layer them in many colors. It is very traditional looking, like when I was a kid!

Enjoy these directions for the 6 cards created last week. Under each card is the YouTube link where you can find a presentation of how I put the card together.
