Here is my project....

I made a 5.5x5.5 card using American Crafts green cardstock.  I matted striped pattern paper with black cardstock, and a strip of 1.5 inch pattern paper with a 2 inch black strip.  I made my ornament using Jolly Holidays cricut cartridge.  I cut the ornament at 4 inches.  The dark red piece was then sent through the cuttlebug to emboss with small dots.  The green piece was also sent through the cuttlebug with a plaid embossing folder.

Here's a closer look at the ornament:

It's a very clean and simple Christmas card!  Have an awesome day and thanks for looking.

Today's theme is Snow.  I am showing a project using Peachy Keen Stamps.

Here is my project..

This card is 5.75 x 5.75 inches.  I started with a blue cardstock base.  I added a red mat to my blue snowflake paper.  The snow angel and the winter fun sentiment are from the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge.  I cut the sentiment at 2 inches and the snow angel at 3 inches.  I used 1/2 inch wide eyed kids face from Peachy Keen for the facial features.  I sewed around the entire card in a zig zag pattern.  I embossed the white cardstock with cuttlebug swirl pattern, tore and inked the edges and stacked them on each other.  My attempt to make it look like snow.  :)

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day.

Today's 25 days of Christmas project theme is Animals.  I am showing you two different projects.  A card and a food items.

Here are my projects....

This is a 6x6 card.  I used dark blue cardstock for the base, a green cardstock matting my pattern paper.  The dog house and the dog are cuts from Every Day Paper Dolls.  The house is cut at 4 inches and embellished with stickles.  The dog is cut at 2.5 inches, Peachy Keen Critter Stamp and embellished with stickles.  The Christmas lights are from Create A Critter and cut at 1 inch.  I made the Yappy Howlidays sentiment on my computer.




My second project of the day are homemade dog treats!

I made these treats using oil, water, peanut butter, wheat flour and oats.  *My dogs LOVE these!*


Since I am giving these treats away as gifts, I made a tag to go with them.

The Wag-O-Meter comes from Paper Pups and is cut at 1.75 inches.  I used stickles to make the centers of the a, g, o and e's.  I used pop dots to raise up the arrow.  The dog face is from the Cricut Cartridge Doodlecharms and is cut at 2 inches, decorated with stickles.  I used clear acrylic stones to make the paw print.

  
My package turned out great!  I used paw print bags, and stapled my tag in the middle.  Here's a look at the whole lot:

Stinkin' cute!!  Hope you enjoyed my projects!  


Have an awesome day,

Today's 25 days of Christmas project theme is Sports.  I am showing you a project using Peachy Keen Stamps.

Here is my project....

I started with making a Paper Doll from Everyday Paper Dolls, cut at 4 inches.  I used my gypsy to hid the facial cuts.  I made her face using Peachy Keen 1 inch basic Paper Doll Assortment.  All of the papers are American Crafts Cardstock.  I used a white gel pen on her shoes and innertube, a black gel pen on her hat and scarf.  I colored in her skin with a copic marker.

I used Spellbinders Creative Book Pages for the Grand Caliber to cut out my purple, gray and patern paper backgrounds.  The white cardstock is embossed with the snowflake cuttlebug folder.  I hand wrote in a white gel pen in the bottom left corner of the gray cardstock "winter 2009".  

I placed my creation onto a 12x12 piece of pattern paper.

Framed my project.  I'm planning on adding in some snowflakes onto the frame in the near future.

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day!

Here is my project....

Today's 25 Days of Christmas theme is Cookies.  I am showing a food item for as my project.

I bought my cookie box at Dollar Tree.  I filled the box with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.  YUM!!   2 dozen 2 inch cookies fit perfectly in the box.  I added yellow curly ribbon around the box.

I made a tag to go along with my cookie box.  I used the Cricut cartridge Tag, bags & boxes.  I cut my tag with the shadow at 4.5 inches.  I used black American Crafts cardstock for the shadow.  The pattern paper for the tag is from a DCWV holiday pack from the past.  I inked the edges of the pattern paper with colorbox chestnut roan.  I made the stocking full of gifts from the Winter Frolic cricut cartridge, the cut is 3 inches.  I used Close to My Heart Celebrations stamps for the "to" and "from".

Here's a close up of the tag:

This makes a great gift to give!

Thanks for looking.  Have an awesome day.

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!
