Snow Angel

Sorry I haven't been on here recently, I have been working on a few projects that I will get posted on here very soon.  I am working on my first shape book.  I also have some scrapbook layouts and some more cards that I need to get posted.  I will try to get them on here this week.

Here is another Christmas card that I made.
I used the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut cartridge for this one.


The card is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" in white cardstock.
The black mat is cut at 5 1/4" x 4" and
the red mat is cut at 5"x 3 3/4".  I used the Doily Lace punch on the red mat
and ran it thru my Cuttlebug with the Winter Trees folder.
The kitty is from Hello Kitty Greetings found on page 75 and is cut at 4 3/4".

Baby It's Cold Outside

Hi everyone, I know that this is a little early for most folks to start on their Christmas projects, but I have been trying to plan ahead this year.  Last year I started in November and was rushing to get everything done.  So I am thinking if I start now and do a little bit each month maybe this year won't be so crazy for me.  I have 24 Christmas cards as of right now that I have to send out (always some last minute ones pop up of course).  I can do 4 a month and take my time doing them and actually enjoy each and every one of the cards instead of the rush, rush, rush of the holidays.
Here is my first card. 
I used the Snow Friends cartridge.


The card is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" in white cardstock.
The brown mat is cut at 5 1/4" x 4".
The blue mat is cut at 5" x 3 3/4". I used the Cuttlebug folder Tiny Bubbles on the blue mat.
I used a corner rounder on all sides and all of the mats and the Swiss Cheese punch.
The snowman is from Snow Friends and is cut at 3 1/2"
and added a polka dot ribbon.

Hope you enjoy.  Thanks for looking.

This card is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" in blue cardstock. 
The second mat, the lighter blue is cut at 5 1/4' x 4'.
Ran this mat thru the cuttlebug using the D'Vine Swirls folder.
Happily Ever After:  Dopey is on page 67 cut at 4 1/2".
 Squirrel is on page 60 and is cut at 1 1/2" (used on inside of card).
Mickey and Friends: Sun is on page 73 and is cut at 1 3/4" for the outside of the card
and cut at 1 1/2' for the inside of the card.
Zooballoo:  Grass is on page 72 and for this cut I used design studio and welded the grass together it is less than 1" here are the measurements W-5.093 H-.78 and for the second cut W-5.168 H-.791.
I chalked around the edges and used a glitter gel pen for the blue eyes and buttons.  Also used a white gel pen for the squirrel's eye and added some dashed lines around the squirrel with a brown pen.

Cupcake With A Cherry On Top

Hi everyone, I have another birthday card here.
This card is cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" In brown cardstock. 
The blue polka dot paper is cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
and the striped paper is cut at 3 3/4" x 4 3/4". 
On the striped paper I used a EK Sucess border punch Dotted Scallop around all of the edges and inked in a blue. 
The cupcake is from the Cricut Cartridge From My Kitchen on page 61 in your handbook and is cut at 4 1/4". 
I ran the leaf thru the cuttlebug using the D'Vine Swirl folder. 
The top white layer of the cupcake and the cherry I used the Swiss dots folder
and I added stickles for the frosting. 
 I used some brown polka dot ribbon and a bow and pop dotted the cupcake up.

Inside of card

For the inside of the card the mats are the exact same size as the outside of the card. 
I think that I may add some cherries to the inside of this card.
Thanks for looking.
