Merry Christmas
by Lisa Elton
Hello and Merry Christmas! I’m sharing a pair of cards today featuring the charming Nordic Deer. Long post, lots of pictures!
I die cut them, dressed them up in their cozy winter outfits, then got to work on their cards. Here we go with number one…
Snowflakes were a must for this winter card along with a littler sparkle!
I cut the Scandinavian Snowflake Plate and a couple of large flakes from the Snowflake Loop along with the Lavish Merry Christmas sentiment. They went onto a cranberry card base.
The seniment comes with a shadow die. I choose the same green from the deer’s outfit and a beautiful champagne glitter paper.
This close up of the deer shows that I used two different shades of kraft. His legs in the back are a little darker as are his antlers. I like that this die lets you position the legs in a couple of different ways.
My second card features the Nordic Whimsy Trees with the deer.
I added a couple of layers of snowbanks using the Whittle Field and Trees die set.
The Nordic Trees have sweet details on them that look wonderful on their own or bejeweled!
Two deer, two cards. I hope either one says Merry Christmas to you!
Supplies
This ‘Whittle’ series of dies just gets better and better! LOve the colors of you’ve combined today, Lisa – in fact I’m kinda wishing I could find a Nordic sweater for myself – or one of those darling ‘collars’ in these colors!
They both bring loads of Christmas cheer, my friend! Merriest Christmas!

Two FABULOUS cards Lisa! I just love that Nordic Deer die with the sweet sweaters, and your colors for both cards are wonderful! Beautifully done cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I’m loving the cranberry and rather olive green colors to show off that elegant deer, Lisa. The design of both cards is fabulous. Merry Christmas to you, my friend.
These cards are amazing, Lisa! Love all things Nordic, and I’ve had my eye on the Whittle Field and Trees. I’m doing some online Christmas/birthday shopping for a friend today and that die might just have to slip in. Thanks for always inspiring!
Hi Lisa, I love these two cards, I adore how you have ‘dressed’ the deers, they look so cute.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
These deer are fantastic and so are the cards you’ve put them on!
Oh my — both cards are fantastic! Love all the Nordic, Scandanavian and Whittle influences
Hi, Lisa! These are so beautiful! 😍😍😍
Oooo – just love your Nordic deer, Lisa!! That whittle field looks great as snow on card two and I love the coverplate offset & angled on card one!!
Cute set of cards, Lisa. Love those fun reindeer dressed up in all their seasonal finery!
Totally delightful cards, Lisa!
Your cards are absolutely delightful. I love all of the “whittle” supplies, and you have been using them so wonderfully. Love the dressed up reindeer and the snowflake plate is just fabulous.
