Reindeer Joy

Hi Everyone!  happy Saturday -  I'm home all day today - getting some Christmas baking time in, a little cleaning up and of course - Stamping!

I made this card for the Inspiration Challenge over on Split Coast today -  Steph had a fun retro web store for us to check out - House 8810  I was inspired by this fun plastic reindeer ornament

And here is my card.  I purchased this pretty reindeer die last year after doing the Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas - but then never took it out to use it!  I immediately thought of it when I saw the reindeer ornament for the challenge.  The Joy to the World is also a Tim Holtz Sizzlit die.

I wanted to put a wreath around his neck and tried to think if I had a wreath stamp that size I could use - then I thought of using the smallest pinking circle Nestability (which I can't find in any on line store to link to -so maybe they discontinued them??)  and punching out the center. It worked perfectly!

I cut a slit in the wreath so I could slip it around the neck and taped it on the back. I adhered the deer to the card with foam tape and added the red gems to the wreath and the black tiny twinkle for his eye.


I'm also entering this in these challenges:

Raise the Bar Challenge #124 - snow
Do You Stack Up Challenge #102 - Christmas

Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you are enjoying your weekend

And I'd like to offer a prayer to all the families in Newtown, CT where there was a terrible shooting at an elementary school yesterday.
