Mustache Tree Card... Merry Christmas!

So, here's my husbands Christmas card... It suites him quite well, since he's never without his real mustache :):):)

I used Mustaches & Glasses for the tree and its trunk & Art Philosophy for the star.

Christmas Treat Boxes

Hi!

Is everyone ready for the holidays?  How about the wintry weather?  I like it for a change.
It's been crazy busy around here, I've been preparing as time provides. Creating, working, packing, working, shipping, working, baking, shopping, packing, working, shipping some more, etc., etc.!!!  We have family here from Arizona and that's always nice, especially because it's my mom :):):)  

Here are some sweet treats for a few of my clients.... Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and boxes I whipped up today.  The boxes are B-Day Girl cuts from the CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge.

♥♥♥Our thoughts and prayers go out to all these families affected by the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut♥♥♥

Hugs,

A Little Touch Of Raspberry!

Hey there!  I hope your day is going well.  I can't complain, the sun is finally out and I love the sunshine. So, today I just wanted to share a little something I came up over the weekend. 

The stamp used on the tree is by Rubber Stampede & it's called Holiday Pear collage. The  tag  is stamped w/ a 1992 Stampin' Up stamp.

Cartridges used...

Cricut Craft Room Basics:  Trees & Card base (2"x3" rectangle, not the edging)

Elegant Edges:  Snowflake Boarder (card base edging)

Art Philosophy:  Tag

Ribbons & Rosettes:  Scallop 1 & Tree Boarder 1x3 (envelope decor)

The tree is wrapped from front to back.  Oh and I can never resist using bells, which I've tied to the tag on the front of the card!

Some details...

The white tree is stamped with Versa Mark Watermark (clear) and then embossed with Stamp-n Stuff black embossing powder, for a rich black patent look. Edges inked with TH Black Soot.  I created the card base in CCR, using Elegant Edges and CCR Basics (pieces mentioned above, welded together)  The papers I used: Bazzill card stock (black), Making Memories (raspberry double stripe), GP 110 pound card stock (white)  

Hope you like it :):):)

Hugs,

Let it Snow!
