Today's theme is SANTA!!

Here is my project....

My project was to use the Cuttlebug:

I just love this image of Jolly Old St. Nick from the Christmas Solutions Cartridge.  He is cut at 4.5" and he is mounted on an Action Wobble.  I embossed his beard with the divine swirls folder and the trim on his hat with swiss dots.  All paper used for Santa is Coordinations.  The background paper is from a MAMBI Christmas Stack.   I added some red glitter tulle and tinsel string  I used a Martha Stewart Tag and the HO HO HO sentiment is from Santa's Little Helper stamp set from Sweet Anna Bee Designs.

Make sure to come back tomorrow for the final day of the 25 Days of December!!

Pointsettia Flower Card

****For My Blog Makeover Giveaway, click HERE****

Hello My Fellow Crafters.

I have been wanting to make a card with a pointsettia on it.  I know I have seen some on other blogs, but could not remember just where I saw one.  So I googled it and low and behold found a great tutorial HERE at My Craft Spot.  And what better timing, this weeks challenge at My Craft Spot is Challenge #34 - Handmade Flower Power!!  Is that a co inky dink or what!!!  Anyway, here is my try at making a pointsettia:

I used Flower Shoppe for the pointsettia.  Here is a close up of the flower.

I used cooredinations cardstock for the flower.  Inked it up with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen.  I spritzed both the leaves and the flowers with glimmer mist and shaped the flower with my Imaginisce Petal Roller. I added a vintage style button for the center.  The background paper and green cardstock is Close to My Hearts "Believe" paper pack.  I used a Martha Stewart border punch and added some Crinkle Ribbon in Vanilla Bean from My Craft Spot.

I finished the card up with a Martha Stewart tag, which I inked with more distress ink and the sentiment is from Sweet Anna Bee Designs "Joy to the World" set.  If you have time check her out HERE.  She is a high school student that has come up with her own line of stamps to help pay for college.  Isn't that a great idea!!

I finished the tag off with some tinsel string from Prarie Bird Designs and some glitter gel pen.

So, of course I am entering this in this weeks challenge at My Craft Spot.

Happy Crafting,
