Santa and Mrs.Claus! Wall Decor

For this project I used Paper Dolls Dress Ups and Winter woodland Cartridges. For the paper dolls I used design studio and cut them at 16 inches. I only have a 12x12 mat so I had to cut them in 2 sections and glue together. I placed them on the mat in design studio and moved them around to get the pieces to match up. All the clothing and accesories were cut at 16 inches. They are made with cardstock and the eyes are the large google eyes. I inked all the edges and then did stitch marks with a white gel pen. The Merry Christmas was cut at 4 inches using the font from Winter Woodland and the snowflakes are also from that cartridge. The snowflakes are cut at 2 inches and 4 inches. I used white contact psper for the letters and snowflakes. They are places above the doorway in my living room. Enjoy!

Drippy Goo Halloween Card

For this card I used Paper Doll Dress Up for the bat. The scallop circle is from Winter Woodland. George and Basic Shapes for the circle. The drippy goo I cut using the SCAL program. The bat was cut at 1 inch real dial size. The scallop circle is cut at 3 inches and the green circle was cut at 2 1/2 inches. I cut a shadow piece for the scallop. This is the blackout shape for the snowflake cut. The candy corn is a rubber stamp that I colored in and cut out. the Happy Halloween is a studio G stamp. The drippy goo is from SCAL and is cut regular and shadow. I inked the edges and went over the stamped image with a purple glitter gel pen. Enjoy!

The Happy Halloween was cut with Wild Card Cartridge at 5 1/4 inches. The background paper was computer generated. I used a glitter pen on the black dots. Inked the background paper with black ink. Went over the detail on the spider with a white gel pen and also over the phrase. Enjoy!

Haunted House Card with cut file

I used the Wild Card Cartridge. The House Card. I also used design studio to cut everything out. I also used George and Basic Shapes and Paper Doll Dress Up. I cut the house out in orange and then I used George to cut planks for the outside of the house. For around the window I used smaller planks to look like they were nailed to the house. The skeleton is glued inside the card so you see him when the card is opened. I don't know the measurement but I will put the cut file up later. I used Peachy Keen stamps on the pumpkin and the ghost looking out the window. It is a large card. I inked all the planks to give a wood look. This has many possibilities. Let me know what you think. Enjoy! Here is the cut file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/niymdxnkdtj/halloween card.cut

Halloween Cat Card

For this card I used Wild Card Cartridge The Stitched Card. I cut the card out at 5 1/2. I also cut the card liner at the same size. The cat is cut at 1 3/4 inches real dial size from the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge. I used orange stickles on the circle part of the flowers. The paper is from Sam's Club I bought awhile ago. White gel pen to accent the cat. The words from a downloadable kit from Scrapnfonts.com This is a simple and quick card to make. 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 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!

A Card for a Child

Here is a card that could be used for a little boy's birthday. I used Paper Doll Dress Ups for the rocking horse. It is one of the many extra's on this cart. This is a must have cartridge. I cut the rocking horse at 2.5 inches real dial size. I used three different papers to make him. Tan for the horse, Dark Brown for the tail, mane and rockers and a pattern paper for the saddle. I cut the cowboy hat smaller to fit on the head. I cut a large square to mount the horse on and then cut smaller squares to put across the top and bottom for a border. The squares looked to plain so I used my Studio G stamps to stamp the small images on the squares. The stamps were the perfect size and the stamps were from a boy's collection which is perfect for this card. I did some inking on the edges of the horse and then used a brown pen to do the stitch marks. I also inked all the edges of the squares with a black ink pad. Enjoy!
