Create a Critter cartridge offers so many opportunities for cards for every occasion.   One of the many critters found on the cartridge is this adorable zebra. Although the sentiment says “Hello Love” this card makes me smile just because it is so cute.

3). Cut zebra (sized at 3in by 3in ) from cricut ‘Create a Critter” cartridge on black and white zig zag cardstock.  I turned the paper 90 degrees to have the pattern change direction.

5. Cut out face layer from black  cardstock.  Do not cut any other layers as they are not needed.

6. Cut out speech bubble with words miss you from red  card stock  (sized at 1.25in by 2.5in)

8. Adhere face section to striped zebra.
