December 100 Cartridge Blog Hop


Hello all my crafty friends!
Can you believe it is December already??
Christmas is just 24 days away, do you have
your shopping and crafting done yet??
I still have some shopping to do, but since I have
been making & posting christmas cards since October,
I have a slew of cards done!!

Well enough rambling, today is the day
for the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop with
You have have arrived from my dear
friend Shelley, if not please start at the
beginning so you don't miss anything!!
Due to some unfortunate circumstances
our team has shrunk in half within
the last month!!  So this time
our hop will only be one day.
Grab a snack and a beverage of choice
and join us for some great Cricut inspiration!!

This month I made 3 projects using
4 cartridges.  I used
Christmas Solutions, Simply Charmed,
Gypsy Wanderings and Teddy Bears on Parade.

Here is my first project using
Simply Charmed and Gypsy Wanderings.



The striped frame was cut at 5.25" H from
Gypsy Wanderings.  The candy was cut at 3"
from Simply Charmed.
I used Coordinations Cardstock and
the striped paper is DCWV.
I embossed the white cardstock
with a folder called
Peppermint Twists from Sizzix.
I also spritzed it with some glimmer mist.



This cute little tag is from My Craft Spot's
"Tiny Tags" dies and the sentiment
is from her "Mistletoe" stamp set.
I stamped it with Versamark and
embossed with Zing Embossing Powder.
 I am entering this card in the following challenges:

This next card was made using Teddy Bears on Parade.
My inspiration for this card was
from a card that GiGi
made for the November Release
for My Craft Spot.

All paper was from the Echo Park
Very Merry Christmas Pack.
Teddy and all his layers were cut at 4"
I stamped his face with
Peachy Keens "Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed"
stamp set.  I added some white with my gelly roll pen
and added some glossy accents.
The label he is mounted on was
cut from Gypsy Wanderings at 4.75"
He is also mounted on an Action Wobble!!


I stamped his face with
Peachy Keens "Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed"
stamp set.  I added some white with my gelly roll pen
and added some glossy accents.
I added a cute little pom pom made from twine
to the top of his hat.
I am entering this card
in the following challenges:
 FCCB
IBSIC
Made Especially for You
Go Fish
Paper Playtime

My last project is a tag I made
using Christmas Solutions.
I had just won this great stamp
set "mistletoe" from My Craft Spot
November Release and knew I
wanted to make a tag with some Mistletoe!!

I cut the tag from kraft cardstock using
My Creative Time's Tag Dies.
I embossed the tag using a Mistletoe
Cuttlebug folder.  I then added
some pattern paper and decorative
trim from Webster's Pages.

The Mistletoe was cut from
Christmas Solutions at 2.07" H.
I added some pearls as the berries.

I hand cut the tag with the
sentiment on it and
added some crinkle ribbon and lace.
I am entering this project
in the "To Die For"
challenge over at CardzTV

Thanks for stopping by today,
your next stop is the very talented

Here is the entire lineup
in case you get lost along the way :)

Would You Every Guess Wednesday - Snowflakes

 
Hello all my crafty friends!!
Today is Would You Ever Guess Wednesday
On Wednesdays, the Design Team
is challenged with using anything
but the main image on the page.
This week's theme is SNOWFLAKES!!
We were asked to use a snowflake from
any of the bonus features that
are available on many cartridges.
I used Art Philosophy.
 
I actually made two cards to share with you today.
 

 
This first card was made using the image
from the font layer from page 64!!
This layer was cut at 4.6"
The base is cut at 5" from the
card layer on page 23.
 
 
 
I added a glittered snowflake from my stash
and the sentiment is from the brand new
"Think Snow" stamp set from
My Craft Spot.


I added some pink glitter tulle
a homemade stick pin
and some gems.

 
This next card was made using the card and
decorative layer from page 27 of the handbook.
The card base was cut at 5"
and the decorative layer was cut at 4.75".
 
I kept this one simple, only
adding a few gems and somemore
tulle!!  I added a snowflake gem
which was clear, so I covered it
with glue and pink glitter!!

 
Please make sure to stop over at
to see more snowflake projects.
 
I want to thank all
of my crafty friends for
visting and leaving me some
love on my blog!
I hope everyone has a blessed
and bountiful Thanksgiving!!
