Hi friends and happy December!! Audrey Mutschall here with a new layout featuring Paige’s Reindeer from the 25 Christmas Cut Files 2019. I recently took photos of my daughter wearing a reindeer sweater and plaid skirt and this design was absolutely perfect for documenting one of those pictures!
I cut the Reindeer from white cardstock and backed it with a variety of patterned papers from the Hey Santa and FaLaLa paper collections by Crate Paper. I wanted the head of the reindeer to resemble the reindeer on my daughter’s sweater, so I paper-pieced a face onto it and back-stitched around the borders with embroidery floss for extra definition. With the backing completed, I got to work embellishing! I used the Merry & Bright collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio to fussy cut flowers and layer them onto the antlers of the reindeer. The background paper and star patterned borders are from the same collection, and I added a chain-link stitch along the borders to help them stand out from the background. Lastly, I added an ornament with a button and a title using Thickers and an Ephemera Die Cut tag from Paige's Garden Shoppe collection.
I absolutely loved making this layout, and I hope it inspires you to create something with Paige’s Reindeer from the 25 Christmas Cut Files 2019!
