2012 Christmas card pt 3

This is the final post about Christmas cards this year! I am really happy with what I came up with this year and I am excited to hand them out!

For this card I used the snowman cut from Create a Critter 2 along with his scarf and mittens. I used red glitter glue on the scarf and added a little holly sticker to his hat. Again the ink didn't show up too well on the paper I used, this time I kept going anyways and had to cover it up or start my base over again. So I used George and Basic Shapes for the red and green shapes used to cover up the ink on the green paper and to add my sentiment. I found the "bakers twine" at Michael's, it's actually knitting yarn but worked just the same!

What I used:

• Autumn Leaves 4x5.5 in white card and envelope
• various card-stock colors
• DCWV holiday stack (green paper)
• Ditto red glitter glue
• Scrappy Moms A Holiday to Remember "have a holly jolly holiday!"
• Red Heart cotton yarn
• Clear gem embellishments
• Jolee's Boutique Dimensional Stickers Christmas Holly
• Cricut Create a Critter 2 (snowman)
• Cricut George and Basic Shapes (red and green shapes)

2012 Christmas card pt 1

When I sat down to figure out what cuts i was going to use for this year's Christmas cards I could not decide. I think that part of the problem is that I have too many cuts to choose from. Although the angel card I made a few weeks ago turned out great I knew it would take way too long to make all the cards I needed. I narrowed it down to 3 different cuts. I just got one of the latest cricut cartridges.... Create a Critter 2, I will be using 2 of the character cuts from that cartridge and one from the original Create a Critter.

The first card I have completed is using the reindeer and lights cuts from CAC, I just didn't like the way he looked on CAC2. I also used George and Basic Shapes to cut out the red square as the ink does not show up very well on the green paper. I used red glitter glue on the reindeer's nose and the light bulbs and a white gel pen to add the dots for that little extra that was missing.

What I used:

• Autumn Leaves 4x5.5 in white card and envelope
• various card-stock colors
• DCWV holiday stack (green dotted paper)
• Ditto red glitter glue
• Gelly Roll Gel pen in white
• Scrappy Moms A Holiday to Remember "have a holly jolly holiday!"
• Cricut Create a Critter (reindeer)
• Cricut George and Basic Shapes (red square)
