Tinsel Tuesday # 7 - Merry Christmas Box Card

Hey Friends! I'm so excited to share with you my next Christmas Card and this one is entirely created with an SVG! I love this box card. This little beauty came from a Christmas Box Card set through SVGCuts.com. Once I decided on what papers to use it was very easy to create. I can't wait to make some of the other cards from the kit. 

One more Christmas Card down and oh so many to go. Come back in a few weeks and check out my next card creation. I'm making a card in which I pieced together Olaf, the cute little snowman from the Disney movie Frozen.  I'll be linking up a  tutorial for ya so be sure to come back!.

Thanks for checking out my next Christmas Card and have a fabulous day!

Now it's your turn to make a head start on your Christmas cards and make something beautiful!

Scrapbook Saturday # 38 - In Perfect Harmony

I'm so glad your here for another Scrapbook Saturday post. This was the last talent show I was to watch at the elementary school. All my other children have go onto middle and high school so this was bitter sweet. I was so proud of my daughter and her friend for the great job they did performing Bruno Mars, Just the Way You Are but I kept thinking this would be the last time I had to fight with the camera setting to get a good shot in the terrible lighting of the elementary school. 

Products:
Quarter Note Cricut cartridge
Font using SCAL
Pattern paper from Recollection
Bazzill cardstock
journaling block using Microsoft word

UMT # 41- Sparkle Hello

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 acetate. I watched a few titorials on how to make a card using acetate. Hmmm... that was over a year ago and at the time I bought up lots of acetate thinking I was going to make lots of acetate cards. Well, I finally decided to sit down and use that acetate. 

Here's my first attempt...

I used a large background stamp and Staz-on ink for the acetate.

I tried to add as much texture as I could. Here's a close up view of the details. 

I added various colored gems to the centers for demension and interest.

and...I embossed the sentiment square as well as inked it around the edges.

Products:

Hero Arts Sentiment

Hero Arts background stamp- Daisy Outline

Recollections gems

Hemp cord

Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge for the flowers

Cricut Embossing folder - Stitched Squares

MME 6x6 pad- Dolled up
