Reindeer Card



With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

This week our focus is on Santa’s reindeer. We’ve come up with a classic and elegantly fun card that has incorporated patterned paper and a very cute bow. We thought that very warm neutral colours would be nice for this card.

First we gathered all of our supplies which included a chocolate brown card, a layer of red and white polka dotted paper, and a layer of cream paper.


On the cream layer we stamped a gold “Merry Christmas” and a reindeer in basic black ink. We embossed everything we stamped to give it a nice finished look. We also have a layer of cream paper on the inside that we stamped with a holiday greeting and gold stars


Finishing off the card is a chocolate brown bow that Nicole created using a fork! Here is the link to the YouTube video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rbyM1Izet4


Here’s the finished card.
