Swirly Reindeer
Good Evening!
First of all let me say that it is exactly 2 weeks to Christmas Day! My Mum loves a countdown! ;)
I have an addition to the swirly cut files that I’ve been producing lately, this time it’s a Reindeer. There is a 2 legged version and a 4 legged version, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to be able to see the back legs so I’ve given you both to let you chose. You can layer the 2 legged version over the 4 legged version to really place the 2 farthest legs in the background.
I’ve made a suspension card today, I used my Silhouette to ensure that all of my circles lined up but it can also be done with a circle die. I cut my card base then stretched some invisible thread (invisible thread is clear but you could also use thin fishing line or just some white cotton) vertically across the circle gap and taped down with some extra strong tape. I sewed some vellum onto my white card layer and added a scalloped circle on top then stuck the completed panel onto the card base sandwiching the thread between the two. The final step is to add the Reindeer to the thread, you will need 2 copies, a mirror of each other to glue together with the thread inside.
This is how the card looks closed:
This is how it looks when the card is opened and the Reindeer has room to spin:

Hi, im new to all these art craft/DIY thingy and i keen to make it for my best friend but i was wondering if you could teach or tell me how to cut away the excess paper of image. e.g the deer in this card where there curve in the image/text on the bendy card like what you done for the previous cards. Thanks alot :D
Thank you so much for sharing all your WONDERFUL designs!

This is an elegant cut file that I look forward to using. I don’t know how you do all of this…Christmas is just around the corner and you are still creating items. Do you ever sleep?
Thank you for the beautiful reindeer. I am partial to the two-legged version.
Sleep? what’s that ;)
Thank you Bird for the great deer, both versions.
I notice that you sew in quite a few of your finished items. Do you use a special type of needle. Somewhere I read to use a leather needle?
It’s not like I am doing anything else with my sewing machine lately :) Too many pieces of paper…too little time.
No, I don’t use a special needle and I sew layers of card and vellum together with no problem, give it a try, it’s quite addictive :)
Oh, how lovely! I can’t wait to use it.
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
