Holiday Gift Bag

Hi everyone! Today I have to show you a quick project I made for the challenge at Fantabulous Cricut this week! The task was to create a handmade gift or gift package. I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge to create the purse and tag. The paper is my new favorite Christmas stack by DCWV - "'Tis the Season". I added a gold bow and gathered some ribbon to put on a scalloped border along the bottom.

If you have seen my posts from the past couple of days, I have been apologizing for my poor quality photos. Unfortunately it is difficult to see detail, but hopefully I will be getting a different camera soon! Please Santa...:-)

I am in a couple blog hops this weekend so please check them out and enter to win my blog candy!

Hope you like my project and thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Wishes Blog Hop!!!

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Holiday Wishes Blog Hop!!! So glad you could join us! If you came here from Mandy's Scrap then you are on the right track. If you have just started at my blog then please head to Creations With Kathryn to start hopping from the beginning! I have created two projects for this hop - some ornaments and a Christmas card! I am so sorry for the quality of my photos! My camera died yesterday and I am stuck with this one that takes blurry photos :-( Not a good time to happen! Soooooo disappointing! I got so frustrated with the card that finally I just scanned it and it looks so much better now!

We'll start with my ornaments. I poured some clear glaze into the ornaments and let them drain overnight. Then I poured in the glitter.

The images on the outside of the ornaments were printed and cut with my Imagine machine using the Snow Angel cartridge. After cutting the images out, I put a layer of glossy accents over the entire image.

I used my Mini Bowdabra to help me create the bows on the ornaments, except the poinsettia one which I glued some gathered ribbon on. I then added metallic cord to hang the ornaments from the tree.

I also created this Christmas card using a stamp by Stampavie, which I coloured with copic markers. The patterned paper used is by DCWV from the "'Tis the Season" paper stack. I added some ribbon, a bow and a button for some final touches. Hope you like it!
Now, how about some blog candy?!? Anyone? Here ya go!

A Yummy Holiday Gift

Hi everyone! I made this cute gift bag and recipe to hold a yummy scone mix (which I actually did make and put in the bag!) to give as a gift to someone during the holidays. Sorry about the photo quality - my camera died today! R.I.P. my first digital camera - you will be greatly missed - especially now that I have to turn to this sub-par one! Maybe Santa will hear my plea :-)

I created this for two challenges.

First, the challenge at the Cricut Circle blog this week was to create a holiday recipe project featuring at least two Cricut cuts. For my gift bag and recipe I used From My Kitchen for the oven mitt, the recipe card and tab. I used Lacy Labels for the scalloped oval.

The second challenge I entered this in is at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenges for the Let's Face it Friday challenge. They asked us to create a project using a paper bag! Also we needed to use one of our Peachy Keen face stamps. I chose the largest from the Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment set. These little faces just add so much personality to your projects! If you don't have any, you should definitely check them out!

All patterned paper used is from "Tis the Season" by DCWV.

Cardstock and library clip are from Stampin' Up.

Scalloped border punch is by EK Success.

This bag was so much fun to make! Hope you like it!

Bee-utiful Card

Hi everyone! Here is a card I created for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge this week! The task was to create a card of encouragement. I chose to cut this cute little bumblebee from the Create a Critter cartridge and give it a cute little face from the Critter Faces X Large assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps.

The backround is cut from the A Child's Year cartridge.

The "Bee-u-tiful" sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's "Punnylicious" stamp set.

Hope you like it!

Christmas Party Invitation

Hi everyone! Don't be offended that you weren't invited to my Christmas Party! I know it looks like a lot of fun but I am not actually having one! :-)
I created this invitation for a challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenges.We were asked to create an invitation for a holiday party using our Peachy Keen face stamps.
The face stamp set I chose was Princess Face Assortment.
The party girl is cut from Rock Princess and the Santa hat is from Pooh and Friends.
Hope you like it!

Circle Black Friday Challenge

Hi everyone! This week the challenge at the Cricut Circle blog was to create a project using the colour black and something recycled. It also needed to feature at least two different Cricut cuts.

I chose to make this notebook and the covers were made using a cereal box. The Santa image is from A Child's Year and the font for "Wish List" is from Alphalicious.

Hope you like it!

Reindeer Mini

Hi everyone! I thought I would show you a quick accordian mini I made! The album was made using three 51/2" X 81/2" pieces of white paper which were folded in half and attached together to form an accordian. Then I decorated!

The cartridges I used are:

Create a Critter - reindeer and "JOY"

Gypsy Wanderings - Scalloped Rectangle

Before I adhered the rectangle on the back cover, I attached a piece of ribbon to use as the closure.

I am entering this mini in the challenge this week at Fantabulous Cricut. The task was to create a project using ribbon in some way and of course using our Cricut.

Hope you like it!
