Snow

The challenge this week at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge is to do a project with snow. I have started making tags for some family members that I can put a pocket on for a gift card. Shipping can get ridiculous, especially since it's going 2000 miles.

The both tags were cut from Plantin Schoolbook, the white at 6 1/2" and the blue at 6". The bear is from Joys of the Season as is the large snowflake. The tree is a leftover cut from a different project. There is "snow" glitter on a few of the embossed snowflakes and the ground beneath the bear. The silver flakes are made from DCWV Glitzy glitter paper. It's super sparkly, but I can never get my camera to get a good shot. The embossing on the blue was done with a Cuttlebug folder.

25 Days of Christmas Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of the 25 Days of Christmas at My Paper Crafting. The theme today was "pretty poinsettias, pine cones or presents." I incorporated both the pine cone and the poinsettia into my quick little card.

I used the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge for all of the cuts on this card. The paper is a mix of things that I've had around for a while. The base paper is from a Recollections pack from last year and is pre-embossed. I sanded it to make the trees stand out more. The ornament has the "poinsettia" part of the card. It is hanging from the branch so I had to make it double sided. I used the "flip" feature on the Cricut and cut 2 at 1". I put double stick tape between the two pieces and sandwiched them together then I sprinkled red glitter over the tape on both sides to make the flower stand out. It is made from a piece of gold metallic paper from an old Martha Stewart stack. The twine is MS as well. 

I hope you are all enjoying the projects at My Paper Crafting. Make sure you check back in there every day till Christmas to see all of the great things the designers and guests have created!

Christmas card challenge

I'm putting this on the Christmas card challenge at My Pink Stamper. It's a 5"x7" card. The paper is from DCWV. All but the glitter paper is from the Homemade Christmas stac k. I inked around the edges of the card with 2 shades of distress ink, one brown and one red. They worked well together. The ribbon is something that was on a present (throw things away, seriously??) The pearl paint is Viva Decor. The ornament is from the Joys of the Season cartridge and is popped up with MS foam dots. The sentiment is inside.
