I just love the deer on the Christmas Cheer cartridge and I thought this Reindeer Crossing stamp from the Whimsical Designs "Snow Much Fun" set was just perfect for my Cuttlebug Plus embossed tag, which I inked up before removing from the folder. I curved the clear stamp on the acrylic block to fit the contour of the tag. I used Nestabilities inverted scalloped circles to mat the deer. Each layer has foam adhesives for dimension. I embossed the red circle with the Cuttlebug dots and spots folder and inked the edges with Stampin' Up chocolate chip ink. Stephanie, the owner of Whimsical Designs, is also a Stampin' Up demonstrator and you can find a link to her Stampin' Up store on the Whimsical Designs blog. The white background is embossed with the Cuttlebug mistletoe kisses from a winter bundle. I added a red eyelet to the tag and tied it all up with some cappuccino twine. I added Distress Embossing Powder in tea dye to the deer's antlers, some black Stickles to the nose and hooves and a few little adhesive pearls for the collar. I used a fine point marker and traced over the facial cuts. I used kraft paper for the card base.
