Here is my project....

Today's theme is Christmas.


My 25 days of Christmas project is to show a project using the Cuttlebug.

I made a 6x6 Christmas card.  I used a yellow American Crafts cardstock base.  I used the "Merry Christmas" cuttlebug embossed folder.  Because I used a 5.5 x 5.5 piece of green cardstock I had to emboss the card in two halves.  I matted the green embossed cardstock with a piece of black cardstock.  I used red cardstock and Christmas pattern paper scraps for the strip across the card.  The ticket and the sentiment are from A*Muse Studios.  My cute birdie is from the 3 Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge.  I cut the bird at 3 inches.  I hid the facial features with my gypsy so I could use Peachy Keen Critter Faces.  The snowflake in the upper left corner was made using the Cuttlebug.  I embossed white glittery paper with the snowflake folder then I hand cut out the big snowflake in the center.  I popped up the snowflake using pop dots.

Here's a closer look to see the embossed detail:

I'm loving this card!  I'm going to make a few more just like it with different Cricut cuts to use as my personal Christmas cards this year.

Thanks for visiting.  Have an awesome day!
