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.

Thanks A Latte

Happy Monday everyone! Today's Fantabulous challenge is all about being thankful. For my DT inspiration I used the Winter Frolic cart.

The patterned card stock from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found - Madison Avenue and Portobello Road . I distressed the solids with Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo Distress Ink to make the card more cohesive. I couldn't refrain from adding a little sparkle, though. Yes, there is a bit of Stickles:-)

Now head to your happy place and start creating! Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day:-)

My Cricut Craft Room's Festive Fridays

Thanks for stopping by for my Festive Friday creation:-) Today I used the Winter Frolic cartridge. It was so hard to pick what image I wanted to use. I really like everything that's on this cart! I chose the baby Jesus image. I thought it he would look sweet with a Peachy Keen face so I used the Just Baby Faces Asst set. I also did a little embossing with some Cuttlebug folders and stamped a woodgrain background from Stampin' Up. The tag layer is also from Stampin' Up called Top Note. The sentiment came from My Pink Stamper Faithful Sayings set and I can't forget to mention the Stickles:-)
