 Here is a fun card made with the new Merry and Bright collection from Heartfelt Creations.  The sleigh and deer is one stamp; for this card I stamped just the deer 2 more times.  The die set includes just the sleigh to create a dimensional image.  

You will find a pretty snowy village and beautiful ornaments to help you create your own one of a kind holiday cards.
