Insert the large Cherry Cobbler rectangle into the Star-Crossed Embossing Folder so the stars are in the upper left corner of the vertical rectangle. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine. Keep the embossing folder out.
Insert the small black rectangle into the Star-Crossed Embossing Folder so vertical rectangle is completely in the crisscross section of the folder.

Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed Cherry Cobbler rectangle to the large Basic Black rectangle and then to the front of the Cherry Cobbler card.
Unlock the Banners Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the skinny Cherry Cobbler strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the inward notch) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Repeat with the other end of the strip.
As you are ready to stamp using the Peaceful Deer Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "let's celebrate" or "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the Peaceful Deer Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad or Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the punched Cherry Cobbler strip.
Unlock the Deer Builder Punch. Slide the piece of Peaceful Prints Designer Paper into the punch so you will punch out the deer and both antlers. Punch.
Cut 2 pieces each 3" long of the Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon.
Place the two pieces of ribbon on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface.
Use the brush tip of the Cherry Cobbler Light Stampin' Blends to color the ribbon pieces. Allow to dry for a few minutes.
Use mini dimensionals from the Black Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the punched out antlers to the back of the punched out deer's head. Make sure the red and black plaid side of all the punch out pieces is showing.
Add additional Black Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the punched out deer. Remove the protective backings and adhere the deer with antlers punch out to the top of the dry embossed vertical Basic Black rectangle.
Use Stampin' Seal to adhere the punched sentiment strip to the black rectangle so it is centered side to side and is just below the punched out deer.
Lay one of the colored ribbon pieces across the bottom of the dry embossed black rectangle just below the punched sentiment strip. Flip the rectangle over and secure the ends of the ribbon in place with small strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape and add more adhesive to the back of the black rectangle. Adhere it to the front of the card in the upper left corner.
Slide one end of the remaining colored ribbon piece under the ribbon already on the card front in the center. Tie in place with a half knot. Trim the ends.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one large dot from the sheet of Matte Black Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the lower right corner on the front of the card.
