• The reindeer was cut out from the Reindeer Days DSP 

 

Stampin With Scraps: Wildly Flowering DSP

Don't throw away those scraps. A scrap here and there and you have a beautiful card. I used the scraps from Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper to create this card.

• Wildly Flowering DSP: 4" x 1 1/4" (1x) and 4" x 1 5/16 (3x)

Wishing You Lots of Joy with Nests of Winter DSP

Today I am sharing another pretty card using the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.  I am obsessed with the pretty birds featured on this DSP...I cut out this bird directly from the paper.
