12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 2

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! 

You should have arrived from Theresa's blog.  You can start the hop from the beginning at Lisa's blog.

It's day 2 of 12 days of fabulous Holiday projects!  Today I made these cute Skittle Treat Toppers.

The treat bags are 1x8 inches, filled with skittles (or M&M's work very well...only M&M's don't last long enough to craft with when my husband is around).  My toppers are from the Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge.  The monkey and the tree are cut at 2.53 inches.  I added some doodles to the monkey with a white gel pen.

I felt like they were a bit plain, so I wrapped twine around.

Up next is Jillian!  

See you tomorrow with another new Holiday 2012 project!  Have an awesome day.

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 1

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! 

You should have arrived from Theresa's blog.  You can start the hop from the beginning at Lisa's blog.



It's day 1 of 12 fabulous days of holiday projects.  I made a Snowman Wreath for my Grandma.

I used three different shades of blue felt and white felt.  I cut my felt into 2 inch squares, folded each square from corner to corner and then pinned into my foam wreath.

I used Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge to make my snowmen.  This one is cut at 4.06 inches.  I hid the face cuts using my gypsy, and stamped the face with Peachy Keen's Happy New Year 1 1/8 inch face stamps.  I doodled with a white and black gel pen.  I used a copic W-1 marker to outline the face stamp.  This snowman has been into the spiked hot apple cider!

This snowman is cut at 3.71 inches.  I used a white gel pen on the mittens, scarf and earmuffs.  The stamp is a PK Snowmany Faces, 1 1/8inch.  I used W1 copic and a pink copic (oops, didn't write it down!) for the rosy cheeks.

This snowman is cut at 4.53 inches.  White gel pen used on the hat and mittens.  PK Snowmany Faces stamp, W1 copic and pink copic for the cheeks.

The snowflake is from the Cricut Cartridge "Christmas".  It's cut at 3.71 inches.  I cut the shadow and the main cut.  Then I flipped the snowflake (using my gypsy) and cut the reverse.  My snowflake is now 2 sided. I used blue and white twine to hang my snowflake from the top of the wreath.  In the center of the snowflake, I put a clear jewel.  I also inked the edges a bit in blue ink.

Up next is Jillian!  

See you tomorrow with another new Holiday 2012 project!  Have an awesome day.

Happy Halloween

I have a few more Halloween themed crafts to share.

Here's a wreath I made for my front door.  I used Create A Critter 2 for the spider and the beware sign.  I attached the spider with twine.

Here's a card I sent to say Happy Halloween and Thank you all in one!  Image is by Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps. 

Hope your buckets overfill with candy!  Have an awesome day.

I decorated some XL candy bars to give as gifts for a few special people on Halloween.

I wrapped the candy bar with a a strip of black cardstock that is 18 x 2.5 inches.  The green strip is 6.5 x 2 inches, I used a border punch to make the wholes.  The purple strip is 6.5 x 1.75 inches.  The white strip is 6.5 x 1 inch and stamped with a Stamps of Life stamp in orange ink.  The Owl is from the Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge and is cut at 3 inches.  I doodled around the hat in white and black gen ink pen.  I popped up the white tummy and the orange hat strip with foam tape.  I then attached the owl to the  caredstock with more foam tape, giving it even more dimension.  

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you have an awesome day.
