Cricut Expression Card #1

I want to start using my Cricut Expression more often and decided to search on Pinterest Create a Critter and found some cute images and a blog where my inspiration for my card came from. 

I decided not to add a sentiment to the front because my image because a little bigger then I thought after I added my holly leaves.

These are my test cuts, I write the size and page number on them and put them in a binder for reference.

I used some Heavy Weight card stock from Hobby Lobby - their brand - for my test cuts.

I used Create a Critter, Create a Critter 2, and Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridges.

Stampin Up ink and card stock in the colors - 

Lost Lagoon

Real Red

Only Orange

Lucky Limeade 

Baked Brown Sugar

I also used a Copic N8 marker to add color to the feet - easy and fast.

Stickles for the Santa hat.

An embellishment bottle to make a black dot for the eye.

Combination of Tombow Mono Liquid Glue and Dimensionals for the bird and leaves.

I just glued a small piece of Only Orange to the beak and cut off the excess from the back.
