Super-cute alert!
CASEd from Meg Loven at Loven Stamps.
Meet my adorable little candy cane reindeer Vixen & Rudolph! Cute! Cute! Cute! I'm making these as gift toppers on my nieces' and nephew's presents! They are created with the Two Tags Die. Yesterday, we used the larger tag for the Snow Much Fun Tic Tac Holder, and this project uses the skinnier tag.
I dressed my reindeer up with Real Red Stitched Grosgrain bows and the appropriate Champagne Glimmer or Red Glimmer Paper nose. I added some leftover mini jingle bells from last year to their Candlelight Christmas Designer Series Paper collars, then added a Tiny Tags sentiment punched with the Jewelry Tag Punch.
Create Your Own Reindeer Candy Cane Holder
- Fold an 11" x 3" strip of Chocolate Chip card stock in half and place the fold inside the die-cutting line at the bottom of the tag shape while running it through the Big Shot.
- Tape two candy canes together.
- I added Sticky Strip on each side of the tag to adhere it securely. TIP: Add your candy canes before you adhere the sides together because it's a very tight fit, depending on the candy canes you have. Option: Meg simply stapled her reindeer together, which is probably a time-saver.
- Decorate with eyes from the Owl Punch and a 1/2" nose.

Darla Eigenschink from my Too Cool Demo Team made some super-cute reindeer, too! I really like her Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon bows! She added little tags just like I did and we never saw each other's projects!
