I love all deer. Reindeer have been synonymous with Christmas since the poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas”. You won’t find reindeer where I am in the UK. There was a company that used to bring them for a parade to Lincoln many years ago. That has stopped and I am glad as I used to feel sorry for the poor deer in small enclosures on concrete paving.

This image of her mother deer and her baby melts the heart. Deer are graceful and athletic creatures and to see them in their natural habitat is such a treat. These deer are coloured using only a couple of different Stmapin’ Blend alcohol markers. You don’t need a huge collection to achieve a beautiful image.

The minute I saw the Snowy Wonder stamp set in the new catalogue, I knew I wanted it. I love all these small images. They are versatile. I have so many ideas for future cards using this set. Today I’ve used the gorgeous little penguin. In my mind, the penguin is dancing with the candy cane. I was thinking of Fred Astaire but as a penguin.

I don’t know about you, but quick and easy cards are always a win for me. The ephemera packs and designer series paper (DSP) from Stampin’ Up! make this so easy. The Snowy Wonder dies cut out many of the images in the Snow Scenes DSP. I love it when dies and the paper coordinates. No fussy cutting. Yes!!!

As mentioned in my previous post, I adore Amaryllis. Last time I used the two stamp stamping technique to colour these in. Today I am using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. These markers have become my go-to colouring medium. What is yours?

I hope you like this fun fold card I’m sharing today. This is a diamond flip fold card. I found the idea on Pinterest from a fellow demonstrator.
