My Christmas Cards

Good Afternoon!
I have been very busy making things for Christmas this past week. I have also been helping my BFF get her things made for the holidays too. She is still new to the cricut and still learning.


Well the past 2 days I have been working on my cards that I need to send out this year. I am a bit behind, so I am trying to put together same quick cards but yet different. We do the Snowman Theme and so I have been having some fun with coming up with different ones for this year. This is my first year making my cards so I am having fun with it.



Here are the cards that I have made so far.. I still have about 20 more to make ..
 This set was made with Doodlecharms and Paper Doll Dress Up

This set was made using Doodlecharms


This next set I had so much fun creating and I love how they turned out. I used Winter Frolic and CCR to create these.





I was playing around on CCR this morning and trying to get used to the program and these are what I came up with.
I used my Peachy Keen Stamps for the faces instead of cutting them out and I love how the faces came out.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my little projects.
 Happy Crafting!!!!


Merry Christmas!

Ribbon and Rosettes Cartridge

Hello Everyone and hope you are all enjoying your cyber shopping today. I know I did. I got a new Mini Cake Cricut for my daughter's for Christmas and I also bought myself a new cartridge..

On Saturday hubby told me he wanted to take me to Michael's, he told me that they had cartridges on sale. So we went to the new Michael's that just opened last month. They had two of the cartridges that I have been wanting, so I got them... well when we got up to the checkout the girl says to me that I get a free cartridge with the purchase of two cartridges yay me... I had bought Ribbon & Rosettes and Flower Shoppe and they gave me Jubilee for free... what a great deal.

So for the past couple of days I have been playing with the two new cartridges. I do have to say I am adding them to my favorites now...

Here is what I have done...





I have made a few more flowers  just haven't taken any pictures of them yet. I will take pictures and post them later...
 On the Snowflake Rosette I used " Winter Lace" for the snowflake.. I see me make more of them in my near future. I love snowflakes and snowmen. I am going to make one with a snowman next ...

The snowflake rosette we are going to use that size on the tree this year.

Here is how I made it:

Cartridges:
Ribbon & Rosettes

Winter Lace

Cut 3 scallop @ 1 1/2" light blue
Cut 3 scallop@ 1 1/2" White
Cut 2 circles from George @ 3/4"

Warm Winter Wishes Card

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Yesterday was a bad day for me in the crafting room, my gypsy broke and now I have to send it out to Cricut so they can send me another one. I am going to be without my Gypsy for a few weeks. I am so lost without it. I was so motivated yesterday and I had 3 projects all designed and ready to be cut out, and then that is when I noticed that the port to hook it up to the Cricut was broken. So I called and they are going to send me another one once they recieve this one. 

So yesterday I ended up making a few projects for this weeks DT. yay!!! I can't wait until I can post them... 

Well today I am working on a few card sets and single cards... 

I really love how this adorable card turned out and wanted to share it with you all.... 




I used Winter Lace Cartridge. I am loving this cartridge.
I am planning on making some of the 3D Snowflakes with my daughters next weekend and hanging them up around the house. We are also going to making some snowflakes out of vinyl and putting them up on the windows.
Thank you for stopping by and watch for new projects and ideas.
Happy Crafting Everyone!
