Tinsel Tuesday #8 - Olaf loves warm hugs

Welcome to Tinsel Tuesday where I am making my Christmas cards early. But....Boy Oh Boy! I'm behind. So I haven't been plugging away at Christmas card making the way I had hoped but I haven't given up. Here's my latest Christmas card. I saw a card tutorial for this little guy and I couldn't resist making him. You can find the tutorial I followed here and on my tutorial tab here.

Here's my card....

I used my Cricut and "Joys of the Season" Cricut Cartridge for the snowflakes along with a cut file from SVGCuts.com for the card shape. The snpowflake stampes are from inkadinkadoo "I think?"

I hope you've enjoyed my latest Christmas card and see you back in a couple of weeks!

Now go make something beautiful!

CMM # 47 - Paint Chip Sympathy

It's Card Making Monday! Welcome and thank you for visiting! The background for this card is a paint chip grabbed from my local hardware store. You can find the tutorial on my tutorial tab. 

I used a dollar stamp to emboss the palm leaves.

The sentiment is a hero arts sentiment and I cut the brances from       Cricut Cartridge. I added some twine to the brances and inked them up.

I love this card because the finished glossy texture looks so elegant and all the guess work of color coordination is done for you.

Scrapbook Saturday # 42 - Whoo Hoo!

Hi There! Welcome friends for this week's Scrapbook Saturday post. Today's Scrapbook page is 

a double page layout. we went Zip lining on last years vacation. Yep, I'm still working on vacation photos from 2013. Uggh! But I'm catching up and I had a crop weekend at my house in July so I can say I've cropped all the photographs from 2013 and will be showing you them over the next several months. 

I just chose neutral colors for this layout because the photos were a little dark and the images in the photos were distant. I added some embellishments that complemented the nature in the photos. Added some faux stitching and Viola!

UMT # 45 - Decorative Boxes

Time for another Using My Tools post. Using My Tools posts are crafty creations where I pulled something out of my stash that at one time, I thought I just "HAD" to have and finally use it. This time it's these cut files by SVGCuts.com. This is a fabulous set of tiny boxes and I actually was able to get the kit for free but never used it. Well, when I picked up this paper stack I knew it would be perfect for these boxes!

Here's close ups of each box.

CMM #46 - Flower Box Card

Good Morning! Welcome to another Card Making Monday. Todays post is my first attempt at making a matchbox pop up card. With this card there is room in the back for a gift card. 

I used a SVGCut file to help me make the box that I already had but I got the idea from a tutorial on Youtube. You can find it here and lots more tutorials on my tutorial tab here.

Fall is my favorite time of year so I chose to make this card using fall colors.

I used double sided patterned paper and a strip of the same paper for the belly band. I wantd to dress up the belly band a bit s I added this 3D paper rose and the butterfly. For the butterfly I added gems for the body.

and here is the box opened

Scrapbook Saturday # 41 - We've Made It

Hi There! Welcome visitors for another Scrapbook Saturday post. This will be a short one.  This scrapbook feature a cake I made for my 6th wedding anniversary. I imitated some of the elements and the colors from our wedding cake. The numbers on the cake are cut out of sugar paste on the Cricut and I cut some vellum with my Martha Stewart shears and rolled it up for the little sparkler.

I tried to use lots of scraps on the layout and then kept the other colors neutral with tan and black.

UMT # 44 - Watercolor Sympathy

  

Welcome to my newest Using My Tools post. So for new friends and visitors Using My Tools posts are crafty creations where I pull something out of my stash that at one time, I thought I just "HAD" to have and finally use it. This time it's this watercolored image. I painted this while ago in my first attempts at watercolors. I didn't want to discard the flowers so I just put them aside. I think this works together nicely.

The card is really a dark maroon in real life which really complements the black. You can see the true color better in the photo below.

Here's a close-up of the watercolored image.

Take care and go make something beautiful....
