A Christmas Card

Hi there!  This is Doreen from Polka Dot Paper Princess  Today, I made a quick little card that reminded me of the days of old where there would be trees in sleighs that families would lovingly hand pick.  Now, if they are fresh picked at all, they are usually picked from a local business and then they are attached to a car or truck!  lol!  Lucky are those that still go to the woods and pick their own!  What joyful memories!

I pulled out an oldie, but a goodie cart - Christmas Cheer.  I used it for both the sleigh and the trees.  I popped the sleigh up with foam tape, added some flock  to make snow on the edges.  The trees were easily stuck behind the sleigh and left loose at the top to give it the feeling of movement.  I added a wee bit of flock to them too and they were done!  The punches on the side are from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is from CTMH.  The card was simple, but right now, that's exactly what I'm looking for.  We don't always have time for complex, but still wanted pretty.  The Cricut makes it so easy to accomplish that!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a merry and blessed Christmas!

Wow...A Christmas Card to Share Before December!

Hi, Liz here from http://lizziesworldofcrafting.blogspot.com/ and today I have a Christmas card that I made to share with you.

Every year I try and get them finished in time to mail out the first week of December and I finally succeeded in doing so this year.  I got the inspiration from a picture I saw online and used my cricut for the finished product.

 I used Stampin Up card stock in sand and cut it to fit the front of an A2 sized card.  I used George and Basic Shapes to cut the two squares (2") for the top of the door and a 3" rectangle for the bottom of the door.  The ribbon is ruby red stampin' up.  I used Christmas Cheer for the wreath cut at 2".  A rhinestone and viva decor pen in red completed the wreath.

I inked the edges of the door with Tim Holtz walnut distress ink and used stampin up ruby red for the sentiment.  The stamp is from the Recollection brand at Michaels.  A brad completes the door handle.

I hope every one has a joyful holiday season.

Have a sparkling day and thanks for stopping by!!!

Deck the Halls

Happy Saturday everyone!  This is Julie from Mommy's Playroom.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We will be moving into our new house in another city only a couple of days before Christmas so I won't have much time to decorate.  I wanted to create a quick and easy home decor project  to make Christmas decorating a little faster.

I am a huge Teresa Collins fans so I decided to base my project on the reindeer silhouette on her December 25th Cricut cartridge.

I started with the reindeer silhouette using the fit to page feature to make it as large as possible.

The title was also cut from December 25th.  The paper is from Bo Bunny and is called St. Nick stocking.

 
The ornaments are from Christmas Cheer and were cut at 2.5".  The snowflake is from a Stampin' Up punch.  It was cut on setting 3.

I wanted to add a little sparkle to the project so I covered the title with Candy Cane Stickles.  Black Diamond, Green, and Candy Cane Stickles were used on the ornaments.  The snowflake is covered in Crystal Stickles. 

I wanted to decorate something other than a Christmas tree for my project so I used Stampin' Up silver elastic cord to tie the ornaments to the reindeer's antlers.  I think he looks adorable!
