WinterSong Snowman

I absolutely love Whimsie Doodles digital images, this cute snowman is from the Whimsie Doodles 'Tis the Season images set.

As many of my followers know I am getting very good at making my own cut files and that is exactly what I did with this image.

I first made my outline of the snowman to create my card base, and all the layers were cut individually to make all the remaining layers.

I also added some embossing to the red ribbon on the top hat with the swiss dots folder. Then added pop dots to the bird's wing and his scarf for dimension.

I have a few more to blog so keep checking, I'm trying to catch up.

Bye for now,

It's 9 days till Christmas, I'm back today with this cute doggy Christmas Card.

The dog was cut from the Create A Critter cartridge. I embossed him with the Swiss Dots embossing folder to give a bit of texture. And sponged the edges with SU! Chocolate Chip ink to give him some definition and pop dots were added for him to stand out more.

The presents are cut from the Winter Frolic cartridge. I used various left over scraps of Christmas paper, to get all those lovely colors of the presents. The greeting was from a font on my computer, and for the tips of the wording I added some Diamond Stickles.

Have a good weekend everyone,

Winter Fun

Hi Everyone,

Wow it really does seem like forever since I blogged, and yes it has been forever. I have been busy for the past couple of months, 1 was to get ready for my craft sale and 2 was to fill orders that I received from my craft sale. So with that said I still have not had the chance to work on my own personal Christmas cards that I'd like to send out to family and friends and I'm running out of time.

But here is one card I am happy to share with you, it is for an order. My customer wanted a money holder type card but a card that can also be displayed as a Christmas ornament afterwards. Like always a little challenging especially when you don't know the person receiving it personally.

Oh boy, has my Cricut sure gotten a workout from this season. I have created most of my cards cutting with it. On this card I used the Winter Frolic cartridge and gave it lots of layers, and lots of pop dots, just how I like it. You can never use enough pop dots!

Off for now thanks for popping in and hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of me.

Season's Greetings....

It's been a long time?

Hey Friends,


It seems like forever since I posted anything and yes it has been a while. I needed to take a break from my weekly creations and challenges to get ready for my craft sale & bazaar this year. I was not able to take part last winter as my craft room was still packed up from my summer move. And I started late this year in preparation and trust me the panic button was stuck on for the 2 weeks up until my sale.


My craft sale was great, and I had lots of new items this year and some of my old favorites. I even have a few orders that I need to complete. So once I get those finished everything should be back to normal. And onto my own Christmas cards that I personally like to send out.


I'm still around I've just been very busy and hopefully I'll get back to my old routine in no time!

See you soon,
 

Dr. Seuss Thank You's

I have had the wonderful request to create some baby shower thank you cards with a Dr. Seuss theme of cat's hat of The Cat In The Hat book. These are going to be from twin boys Hudson & Owen and that is why the verse on the front of the card says, "Thanks to You For the gift for Two!"

In total there are 25 cards, I cut out Cat's hat using SCAL. I must tell you that this is a favorite program of mine, just for the fact I can design and cut out almost anything. The stars are versamarked and because this is an item that is going to be mailed I choose not to pop dot anything as I didn't want them to be wreaked while in transit.

Thanks for stopping by today,
