Hello my Crafty Friends!
Another beautiful day—fall couldn’t be more perfect. Though according to the weatherman, it will be gradually cooling down. Soon it’ll be time for hot cocoa and cookies! And sweaters! I love wearing sweaters with jeans and boots. I hope you are outside enjoying this gorgeous weather.
This charming holiday card features a sweet woodland reindeer standing on a rustic wood slice beside a little evergreen tree and a cozy red candle. The scene is framed with a lovely textured paper that has a green and pink mossy pattern, giving it that natural, forest-inspired feel. The “Happy Holidays” sentiment completes this warm and inviting card that’s perfect for sending cozy seasonal wishes!
