Christmas Card #1


Hello everyone! Today I've been working on Christmas cards so I decided to start a mini series on Christmas cards using the cricut and Mr.CricutCrazy's Christmas, Christmas stamp set. If you have not checked out Tanner's stamps, please head over to his blog. The stamps are made of the highest quality polymer and are so much fun to use.
For today's card, I used A Child's Year and the Elegant Edges cricut cartridge, an Ornamental Christmas paper stack from The Paper Studio, and the Christmas, Christmas stamp set. The card base measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, the background image (from Elegant Edges) is cut at 5 1/4 and the Santa image is cut at 3 1/2 inches. I used my iRock tool to adhere the jewels in the corners. The sentiment Dear Santa is stamped on a mini tag from the Tim Holtz Mini Tags and Tabs die.
I hope you are all enjoying this time of the season as much as I am. Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great day!!
Heather

Winter is "Snow" Much Fun Blog Hop


Welcome to another MrCricutCrazy blog hop! You should have arrived from Tanner's blog, if not, please start there to ensure you see everyone's wonderful projects! This time, we are using Tanner's Christmas, Christmas stamp set. I adore this set and have used it for multiple projects I'm working on for the holidays.
For today's card, I created a window scene. I used the snowman image that comes with the stamp set and the sentiment Winter is "snow" much fun! The card is a basic A2 size card measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. The white card stock with the image measures 3x3, I used Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass distress ink around the edges in the "snow" of the image, then it is cut at 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch squares. The brown card stock measures 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches. The sill of the window measures 3 1/2 x 3/4, then I ran the sill through my distressed stripes cuttlebug folder. The blue background measures 4 x 5 1/4 and then I ran it through my sledding cuttlebug folder. I used some brown sugar twine, which can also be purchased through the MrCricutCrazy website. It was a fun card to make, and I love the way it turned out.
Make sure you continue on with the hop over on Vicky's blog! Everyone has wonderful projects, if you comment on everyone's blog, you'll be entered to win one of Tanner's latest stamp sets entitled Friends, Friends!

Hugs,

Design Team Monday!

Hello everyone and welcome to another Design Team Monday :) Today we were challenged to use the Sumer Time Fun stamp set. I say challenge because it is starting to get really cold here in Nebraska and I'm not really feeling in the summer mood haha. I decided to go outside the box and use one of the sentiments with a winter cut. I used the penguin from the Simply Charmed cartridge, he is cut out at 4 inches. The card is cut at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, the snowflake paper is cut at
4 x 5 1/4. I cute another strip of the cream cardstock and used my EKSuccess treading water punch. I added just a little bit of Stickles for a little glittered touch. I hope you enjoy this card and check out all of the other design team member's postings for today.

Have a great day!!

Hugs,
Heather

Friendship Card


Hello everyone! Today, I made a friendship card using Pink by Design's stamp set Friends to the End. This is part of her stamp of the month club. The sentiments used in the stamp set are the perfect way to show you friends your appreciation. I also used the cricut cartridge, Forever Young, Authentique's splendid line, the iRock tool, stickles, white ribbon and Recollection's cardstock line entitled Soda Pop. The girl is cut at 4 1/2 inches, the card base is a basic A2 size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I hope you enjoy this card :)
Have a great day!!
