After I finished the card I posted yesterday, I started really looking at my patterned paper.  I noticed the little reindeer looked an awful lot like the deer on the Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge.  I knew I had to make "her" for another card.
Again, I started with a standard kraft paper card.  I stamped my sentiment using ink and fine white embossing powder.  I cut the larger strip at about 2.5" x 5.25".  The accent piece with my little deer was at 1.25" x 5.25".  I inked and chalked the edges and put them together using my Glue Glider Pro.  I had a little left-over piece of border sitting on my desk from another project, so I attached it to the bottom of my two strips.  I added assembled piece to my card using 3M foam tape squares.
For my deer, I cut all of the pieces at 3".  The shadow was gray paper.  The base is black paper.  Layer 2 is kraft paper, and the top layer is brown paper.  I assembled the layers together using the Zig 2-way Glue Pen.    I added Kaisercraft rhinestones in green and red for her collar.  I used the largest size to give her a cute red nose.  For her eyelashes, I cut a small piece of black cardstock using my Cutter Bee Scissors.  I cut  thin and fine strips to make her eyelashes.  I added the pieces together using Glue Dots. Then I had adhered finished googly eye to my project.
I am having so much fun with this cartridge!
