Christmas in July

Welcome everyone to another challenge at Exploring Cricut.  Today's challenge is to create a layout, card, or other papercraft for Christmas.  This is also a blog hop.   If you are participating in the blog hop you should have come from Rae Ann's blog.  I decided for this project to get an early start on my Christmas cards.
I started with a 5.75" x 5.75" base.  The base was covered in Christmas pattern paper from Kaiser Craft that came as a free gift with a magazine.

I used the cartridge Elegant Edges to cut the green base at 5.23"

I used the Christmas cartridge to cut the reindeer at 3.82".  I used crystal stickles on the antlers because Christmas reindeer are magical creatures and should be special.

I then used a Gelly Roll pen to add a little glitter to the hooves and other fine details.  I used the stamp set Wonderful Season from CTMH.

Thanks for joining me for this week's challenge. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Don't forget to link your project on the Exploring Cricut site. Now head on over to Annette's blog to see what she has in store for you!
