Merry Christmas with Reindeer

Well I think this is the only card I didn't get posted before Christmas that was for Christmas. I used When It's Cold Outside and cut the image at 3-3/4. I used red stickles for the noses and some fun paper from Joann's called the Peppermint Forest stack. The Merry Christmas stamp is from Close To My Heart.

 I love this snowflake cut from When Its Cold Outside. I'm not sure that I have cut many others from that cartridge because I always go directly to that one! I cut this at 3-3/4 inches, added some red stickles to the noses, I also went over the top with Desert Sand ink to make the details show up better. I added some adhesive jewels to the tips of the snowflake and some silver stickles to the star in the middle. Stamp is from Close To My Heart

 I'm entering this in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

Snowman Circle Card

You might remember this post HERE... well this was the original idea and then I never put it out there. I decided to get my act together and finish the idea I had originally had. You can find all the details of the cut from this post by clicking on the link above.

Clearly I Stamp Challenge #20

 This month's challenge over at ClearlyiStamp was to create a project using 3 shades of blue. I chose to go with these from bazzill. Using my gypsy and the Storybook cartridge I cut this shape to fit my stamp just perfect, the snowflakes were cut from When It's Cold Outside at 1-1/4. I went with the Wagon Wishes stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps and just used the snowman, that's the great thing about this set is that you can use the wagon with any image OR just the image alone. I colored his scarf, nose and ear muffs in with my BIC Mark-it markers then I used black stickles on his coal buttons. I got my Pebbles Inc, shimmer chalk out and gave him a light dusting all around with that but you cant really see it. I also used my Martha Stewart punch for the bottom. For the snow I used white puff paint.

 Here is a little bit different picture showing the snowflake stamp I used behind the snowman on the white cardstock. I stamped those with platinum planet ink.

 For the bottom inside of the card I used a strip of the dark blue and my border punch on it as well.

Fantabulous Cricut #35- Shape and Color Challenge

Hello Everyone, This weeks challenge is a shape a color challenge, the shape being a circle and the color green on your project. I decided to use my Gypsy and make a circle card so I started with George and Basic Shapes and welded to 4-1/4 inch circles together. Then I brought up When It's Cold Outside and cut a snowflake to fit inside my circle this was cut at 4 inches. I didn't actually use the snowflake on the card... I used some removable adhesive and stuck it down where I wanted it, then using my CTMH ink in Topiary and a dauber I inked around the edges of the snowflake to create the image on the green cardstock. After that was done I took off the snowflake but wasn't loving the end product so I put the snowflake back on and with my Pebbles Inc. shimmer chalk I used the dark green color from there and went around the edges again to make is shine! Then I used Snow Friends and cut my snowman at 2-3/4. I glittered his hat, arms and along the bottom of his whole body. I also went around the whole circle and then added some course clear glitter I found at Wal-Mart! I also added some black Stickles to the birds eye. Thanks for stopping by, make sure you check out the other Fantabulous Cricut Design Team projects and be sure to enter this weeks challenge for some fantabulous prizes as well! :)

 These are the things I used for the snowflake part of the card, Topiary ink from CTMH, the snowflake of course, the little finger dauber (it's by the ink pad) and chalk from Pebbles Inc.

Reindeer Snowflake card

Isn't this the cutest?! This is from one of the new holiday released Cricut cartridges from Provocraft called "When it's Cold Outside." It has some really cute images on it as well as some 3-D snowflakes you can make. I cut this one at 4 1/4, inked it up with chocolate ink, added some red stickles to the noses and a big star gem in the middle. I also added a sentiment and some red stickles around that and popped it up with a pop dot. So fun and really easy, I let the Cricut do most of the work for me!
