Hi all,
Well I have made my first Christmas Decoration–Candy Canes using Square1 Masterpiece Printable-see more info here http://shop.square1masterpiece.com/?Click=657. The printable material is also removable. The candy canes were a freebie from Miss Kate Cuttables. I used the print and cut feature on my Cameo and the silhouette DE vinyl setting to cut it out. They peeled off their backing easily. When the holidays are over, I can remove them from the candle holders and save them for next year. It is important to keep the backing sheet so you can place them back on it for storage.
Hi all,
My daughter asked if I could make some Holiday gift envelopes for her. I found these adorable Santa and Snowman short envelope bags in the Silhouette store. They go together easily. Good thing since she needs around 60 of them.
Hi all,
I am loving the Anna Griffin Christmas Kitsch cartridge. Today I made the reindeer shape card. He is so cute. However, I felt he needed a little something else. So I found the string of tangled lights on the Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge.
I sized everything to 5.5 so it will fit in an A2 size envelope. There are envelopes on the cartridge but I haven’t tried them yet. I added lots of red stickels to his nose and scarf. I also used gold wink of stella glitter brush for his ears and face. The sentiment is also from the Christmas Kitsch cartridge. I cut it at 2 inches. The paper is from a 6×6 pack I got at ACMoore.
Hi all,
I was asked about how I made these cards using Anna Griffin’s Christmas Kitsch cartridge and my Cricut. First, I have an expression so I use CCR. On the bottom of CCR , there is a default setting of 2.5 for bringing all images to the mat. I changed that to 5.5. Then when I bring my images to the mat- they all will fit appropriately. I first cut out the card base and then cut all the corresponding layers. Next you assemble the layers. After they are assembled and decorated, I attach the completed layer to the card base. I haven’t added a sentiment to the inside of the cards yet. So that will be my next step.
I hope this helps and feel free to ask me any questions.
Hi all,
Well I guess it is that time of year again. Of course it is my favorite time. I started some of my Christmas cards using Anna Griffin’s Christmas Kitsch cartridge by Cricut.. I do not have an explore yet. I love my expression so I used CCR to design my cards. They are very easy to put together. Everything was cut at 5.5 inches. Hope I can inspire some of you to get yours started too.
Hi all,
This week we were challenged to use an element of nature on our cards for our heroes to send home to their love ones. I used the snowmen from Dollar Graphics Depot file called Frosty Long Stocking. I think the images and their sentiments are adorable. The scallop frame is from the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge. I love this cartridge. It has some really nice shapes.
Hi all,
I can not believe Christmas is less then 2 weeks away. This month seems to be flying by. 
I am also anxiously awaiting the birth of my 3rd grandchild due next week. I am trying to finish up all my cards and wrapping this week. I made this gift bag for my nail tech. I used the Cricut Forever Young cart for the purse and nail polish. The ornament is from the Cricut Artiste cart. I am entering this bag in My Craft Spot’s Wrap it up challenge.
For this week’s dynamic duos challenge we were to use certainly celery and real red. I decided to pull out my Winter Frolic cricut cartridge and create a card for a friend. She is an animal advocate, so I thought this would be the perfect card for her for the holidays. I used Authentique paper and cut the shapes at 3 inches. I also used the sentiment that comes with the image and cut it at 2 inches. I added wiggley eyes and lots of diamond dust stickels to help make it sparkle. I think it came out cute. Sorry if my camera washed the colors out a little.
