I used Joys of the Season cartridge and cut out the partridge I cut the legs off so he looked like he was sitting on the branches. I used my branch cut file and sure cuts alot that I posted earlier for the branches. The words are from the Joys of the Season Cartridge. Enjoy!

Christmas Cards


Very Simple Christmas Cards. I used Gold Shiny Paper that I bought at Wal-mart and cut the shapes using my Cricut and using the Joys of the Season Cartridge. The corners are made with the same paper and cuttlebug die set. They look elegant and are simple to make. Enjoy!

Snowman Card


I saw these cards made with Stampin Up punches and since I don't have those punches, but I have a cricut and design studio, I made all the cut using the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. I used the design studio to lay out all the pieces and then I could put all the paper on the mat and cut all at once. I used a white gel pen for the white accents on the eyes and stitch marks on the hat. I used the a small flower punch for the flowers on the hat. I used pop-dots to pop the eyes up. I really like the way it came out. Enjoy!

Halloween Cards



Here are some Halloween Cards I made. I used the Paper dolls Cartridge for all the images. I cut all the images with the real dial button on. For the ghost I used the cricut marker to get that outline and then I cut the ghost out. I used google eyes on the pumpkins and used inkfor shading and dimension. For the fence I used a brown marker to show the lines better. On the bats I used a white gel pen. I used pop-dots on the fence pieces to have the pumpkins behind the fence and it gives a 3-D look. Enjoy!

Christmas Pointsettia


I used the Joy of the Season Christmas Cartridge for this card. I cut a shadow in brown cardstock. I used a green pattern paper for the leaves. I used red cardstock for the flower. I inked all the edges and accented the lines on the flower with a brown fine point pen. I used glitter for the center. The sentiment is a $1.00 stamp from AC Moore. Enjoy!

Christmas Wreath


Here is a wreath that I created using my branch cut file. I cut several branches out. I also cut a circle to lay the branches on and keep a circle shape. I glued the branches around the the circle putting them in different directions. I added Martha Stewart Glitter to the wreath to give it a snowy look. I added red sequins to the top. I cut a bow from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge and glued it to the bottom of the wreath. The Merry Christmas is a rubber stamp. I stamped it with black ink and used decorative edge sissors around the edge. Enjoy!

Christmas Cards with Leftovers


I used the leftover letters from the previous card. I mounted the letters on to pattern paper and then mounted that to a solid color paper and then attached to the card. For the striped card I ran a piece of the striped paper across the card to look like ribbon. I went around the edges of the letters with a glitter pen. The other card I put glitter on the letters. I used Martha Stewart Glitter. I will put ribbon on the one card and they look as though they need something. I will look at the cartridge and find something to put across the top. Until then Enjoy!

I wanted to get a jump on Christmas cards instead of waiting until December. I used the NOEL letters for another set of cards that I will post later. Enjoy!
