Christmas cards for my BFF's...............

Friday has arrived!! Woohoo and I have a few days off from work. I plan to get all my Christmas shopping done and wrapped by Monday after.  I will let you know if I was successful!!

Here is the card I made for my three besties and their families.  All three are crafters so I had to put my thinking cap on.

I thought a cute Christmas scene would be cute.

I used Christmas Cheer to cut the fireplace, the tree and the stockings. I personalized the stockings with their kids initials.

The garland on the tree was stickles.  I am usual not a fan of stickles, but I though they were perfect for what I needed them for. The decorations on the tree are epoxies stickers, I just love them.  I used all papers from my stash.

Have a great weekend and hope your Christmas stuff is under control!!

More Christmas, sparkly..........

Good morning Everyone!!  I hope everyone is having a great week. Its official, all my cards in the mail!! Woohoo!! Feels so good to have that off my plate.

Here is a "snow globe" card I made. I made about 8 of these.

My recipe:

Christmas Cheer Cart - The snow globe cut at 3.25" and layered
I broke out my nestabilities (everyone seems to be using them, I thought I better join in), they are the rectangluar scalloped ones. I used the middle two for the blue layers.

StampinUP Ribbon and of course StampinUp! Stamp and I sparkled it up with my sparkly pen.

I added the glittery dots that I had from my stash and realized after I took the picture I am missing one. I never found it!!

I am going to enter this card over at http://www.creativecutterroom.com/.  The challenge is to make a Christmas Project not using red or green.

Thanks for stopping by!

And Christmas Continues

We are very busy in the scrapcave making our cards, lol!  I take NO credit for this card. Kel found the template on Pintrest and showed it to me, I fell in love and had to make some.  I am sure Kel will show hers off as well. It amazing how different the card can look with just changing up the papers.  I love the elegant feel.

The recipe:
Christmas Cheer Cartridge- page 91 for the Christmas Tree, cut at 4".
Recollection Glitzy Glitter for the patterned paper
Recollections Joyful Christmas paper pack for the paper on the tree
Ribbons and Rosettes Cartridge page 56 - cute at 1"x11" (this cartridge is awesome), for the tree layers.
Ribbon on the top from my stash (thanks Noni)

Black cardstock for the base of the card, white for the first layer and green for the second layer.

Kel came up with an easy idea, instead of using a punch for the layers on the tree, let the Cricut do the work for us. The Ribbons and Rosettes Cart cuts out a strip of 1x11 so we just lined it up on the tree and cut it to fit.  It took about 3 strips, not too bad.

Thanks for stopping by. If you need more detailed directions feel free to ask, we are happy to email them to you.
