4 Months 'til Christmas

Well another month closer to Christmas.  It's time to start thinking about gift ideas.  I am the first stop on the hop this month and as usual we will be showing one card using a die cut machine and the other using a stamp and a colouring medium.

For my first card I used my Cricut E2, Gypsy and the Christmas cartridge which was a free add on to the Gypsy.  I have wanted to use this cut for awhile.  The background paper is printed from the Vintage Papers cartridge and the Imagine.  I add some Dew Drops and a silver glittery pipe cleaner.  Isn't that perfect for tinsel.

 My second card is a digi from KL Dezigns.  I added the stockings cut from the Simply Charmed cartridge to the fireplace and  used a brad to attach them.  The background paper is from the Recollections Frosty Cabin stack.  I thought it looked like wallpaper.  I added a bit of Gelly Roll glitter pen to the fire.

4 x 4 sets

My second post for today.  I have been working on a few things lately but have been behind on posting. 

I wanted to use up some scraps and also make some sets of cards.  I used the Forever Young, Create A Critter and Simply Charmed cartridges and some assorted stamps.  I then packaged them in sets of 4 cards with envelopes.

Thanks for stopping by.

This and That

I didn't get around to posting a photo of the Christmas cards that I sent out this year.  I made two different ones but I kept them both simple so it was easy to make in mass production.

 Stamps: My Pink Stamper
Cartridge:  Simply Charmed
Seeing Spots Embossing folder
Paper: DCWV & SU

 This is a day planner that I bought for 75 cents and dressed up a bit with some SU paper Large Oval and Large Scalloped Oval Spellbinders and My Creative Time stamp from the Keepin It Classy set.

I used my new Yummy Imagine cartridge to make this card for my Step-Mom's birthday.  The Imagine makes it so quick and easy.  I love the saying Not old... Vintage. lol

Thanks for stopping by.

My Pink Stamper Challenge

As I am sure most of you know last Friday My Pink Stamper had her first blog hop with her new design team.  There were so many talented people and awesome projects.  There was also a challenge at the end of the blog hop.  The challenge was to make a card, layout or other project and use My Pink Stamper stamps or if you don't own any use the colour pink.  I just won and recieved my first set of My Pink Stamper stamps from Lauren at 40:31 Creations .

Supplies:
Paper:  Melon Mambo, Basic Black (SU), Light Pink (my stash), White (Georgia-Pacific)
Ink:  Tuxedo Black (Memento), White gelly roll, Real Red marker (SU), Black pen(Marvy)
Cartridge:  Simply Charmed (hearts cut at 2")

Embossing: Valentine Set #4 (Sizzix), Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Heart Embossilit (SU)

Using My New Cartridges

For Christmas I received the Hello Kitty Font and Create A Critter, Twinkle Toes, and Jolly Holidays cartridges and after Christmas I ordered Simply Charmed, Hello Kitty Greetings, Gingerbread Solutions and Sportsmania.

I finally had some time this week to play with some of them.  I needed to make a birthday card for my Step-Daughters 26th birthday.  I used the HK Font cart, my new Gypsy and a MS corner punch that I got from my daughter.  Icicle stickles gave it a bit of sparkle.

 I love this green and purple paper from Recollections.  The adorable skunk was cut at 3" from CAC.  I  printed  the sentiment using the Kristen font at 18pt.

 I just ordered some 3 x 3 envelopes from SU so I thought I would make a card that size.  It is smaller than I thought, but it is really cute to go along with a gift.  The cake is cut at 2.53" using the gypsy from Simply Charmed.  So adorable.

I am really loving my gypsy and these new cartridges are just so cute.

Thanks for stopping by.
