Holly Jolly Day

As I am sitting here writing up this blog post, the down pouring rain has changed to huge gigantic snowflakes! I am so glad I got two of my kids home at noon and my DH should be back from Madison and picking up my son from school. Ooo, there goes the power flickering. Not good. Fingers crossed.x

I used the Cupcake Inspirations challenge photo for this shaped card. I used the shadow feature on the Winter Frolic cart to weld two ornament shapes together in Cricut Craft Room. Next I printed and cut the layers using the Imagine Mr Frosty cart. The ornament layer was embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflake folder. The silver top was cut separately using some Stampin' Up silver metallic card stock. I punched two small holes in the middle of the folded part and threaded some hand dyed ribbon and some Stampin' Up metallic twine. The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Christmas Wishes set.

Fantabulous Challenge - Shaped Cards

This week's challenge is super fun! Make a card that's a shape other than a square or rectangle. For my card I used the Winter Frolic cart and my Gypsy to weld the shadow feature to make the base of the card. I then cut a single shadow to place on top of the card after I folded it in half. I then assembled the rest of the card as usual.

The cardstock is from Authentique's Festive bundle (I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this stack) and a little blue from DCWV Winter Wonder stack. For the little girl's face, I used the Hide Contours feature  on my Gypsy to eliminate the facial features. I stamped her face with PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids (I use this set a lot!) I then adhered the little girl to the base with an Action Wobble. I thought this worked fabulously with this card:-) The wonderful sentiment is from Pink By Design's Christmas Wishes set.

If you have never made a shaped card and would like to try, you can check out this Youtube video I found.

You're So Sweet!

Wow! How a week sure does fly by when there's a sick little person at home. Even though each day seemed endless, here it is Thursday already. I ended up dusting off my poor neglected Gypsy to create today's card. I've been using CCR so much lately because I can use it on my iMac which makes everything easier to see. But, my Gypsy comes in handy sitting next to my little guy while Blue's Clues is on:-)

I used the Walk in My Garden cart along with the dies and sentiment stamp from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags set. I added a few Prima flowers with tiny brads and a little Distress Stickles.
