Rebecca504,
The deer is a Stampin' Up punch. It's the Deer Builder Punch. It's currently out of stock unfortunately.

This was one of our Holiday Blitz tutorials, so you'll select Technique Spotlight in the gallery categories, then Holiday Blitz Tutorials, and then a 3rd dropdown will show the Disappearing Nine Patch gallery.
