When I design my monthly project kits, I lean heavily on the images from the designer paper so that the stampers who get these kits can make cards that are very similar even if they don't have the same stamp sets at home. The same is true of my lastest monthly project kit, Reindeer Days-- now available to purchase at http://juliedavison.com/kits
When I created these bonus project ideas, I set out to shoecase the dynamic dies that are featured in the coordinating Reindeer Fun bundle. There is a beautiful frame die and many builder dies that you can use to create a reindeer head, gifts, holly, and lights.
My favorite of these is the Reindeer. The dies were expertly designed to layer three larger pieces with holes to highlight smaller areas is different colors. They are so easy to use and assemble!
This fun fold card was inspired by a Great, Big Card Swap card that I received from Anne Telecky. It reminded me of some similar cards that I have made in the past. This design of this pop up inside is even more simply and easy!

I love the "B" side of designs of the Reindeer Days Designer Paper! There are so many fun Christmas patterns in red and green. This pattern was the inspriation to use the present dies. There is a seperate die for the gift bow and the box. I used Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, and Garden Green paired with Real Red.

The Better Together card is a simplified version of another card in the front of the Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog. I love that it showcases the pine bough frame and the cute image die cut from the designer paper. This card is quick and easy to duplicate and stamp up a stack of Christmas cards!
