Christmas cards

Here are the other 3 cards that were part of my 20 mail outs this year. The snowman is from the Christmas Cheer cartridge. Mr. Gingerbread is from Stretch your imagination cartridge and Rudy is from the Doodlecharms cartridge. These were so fun to make and I really kept them simple this year but they look SO much better this year than last year. I am proud of myself and I am glad I got these done so fast. Time to get motivated to make a few more cards for my close friends at work. I will have to work on some ideas. Christmas is almost here. YAY!!!!!

Reindeer Cheer Card

Surprise! This is my first card that I made being a part of the Winter Design Team for Inking it up Crazy. Most of you probably know Kassidy at Inking it up Crazy http://www.inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com/. She has a fabulous blog and picked me as part of the Winter DT and I am still shocked about it. I saw the other DT members projects and WOW, they are ALL so Fabulous!!!!! I am so excited to be a part of this and can't wait to see what else we will be doing. Lots of fun and good times ahead.

We were asked to design a project using a snowflake as part of it. So, I made this a pretty big card. It's about 7 x 6. I wanted my snowflakes to be big and before I knew it I had a big card. The pattern paper was given to me last year, so I am not certain who it's by. I am glad I found it to use though. I cut the oval out from the Storybook cartridge on textured DCWV paper and then embossed it with the divine swirl cuttlebug embossing folder. I cut the reindeer out from the Christmas cheer cartridge at about 4 inches. The snowflakes are also from the Christmas cheer cartridge but I only used 3 instead of the 4. I added crystal snow to the snowflakes and put a rhinestone in the middle of the snowflakes. I used my cinnamon stickles on the antlers of the reindeer and Christmas red stickles on the collar of the reindeer. I used my black marker to highlight the mouth, eyes, eyebrows and ears of the reindeer. This was such a fun card to make and it was hard keeping it is secret for 2 days. I hope you like it as much as I do. :)

Christmas Cheer Ornaments card

Here is ONE of the 12 cards I have gotten done this week. I have 8 more to go this week. I am feeling better about getting them done. I just cut the ornaments out from the Christmas Cheer cartridge on DCWV paper. I used my holly, diamond and Christmas red stickles on the ornaments. I didn't want to use the hooks that I cut out so I just tired white sheer ribbon around the ornaments. I embossed the background with my divine swirl cuttlebug embossing folder and added a few rhinestones. Tada and I am moving on! I have entered this card in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #38 Ribbon Challenge at http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2010/11/challenge-me-monday-38.html. Their design team has some fabulous projects and everyone who as entered the challenge already also have fabulous projects. I also entered this in the Cooking with Cricut Challenge, "its beginning to look like Christmas" at http://cookingwithcricut.blogspot.com/ and their design team also ROCKS. Have a great rest of your week everyone!
