Jingle Cat Christmas Card

Here's a fun, non-traditional Christmas card... I was inspired by the cards Jingle background paper.  This adorable image is by Magenta, I filled it in with Copics and Stickles.  Added a bunch of stitching.   Made a coordinating box, so  the beautiful bow wouldn't get smushed ;)

Hope everyone had a nice weekend; eating, shopping, crafting, relaxing, etc.

Fun with Glitter & Cricut Holiday Cards 8 & 14

These were a couple of free cuts offered in CCR last week. Initially, I wasn't sure if what to do with them, but then I decided to spray adhesive on the side of the liner that was to be exposed on the front of each card and then poured glitter to fill each design (white glitter for the reindeer & silver glitter for the Happy Holidays), then a bit of sewing, some ribbons, stars and vuala.... Hope you like them.

Here are the Cricut cartridges used & a few simple instructions:

1. Going Places:  House #1
2. Doodle Charms:  House #2 (actually a little dog house)
3. Christmas Cheer:  Tree
4. Zooballoo:  House #3
5. George:  Sign
6. Beyond Birthdays:  House #4, Brown Banner (footing), Merry Christmas
7. Accent Essentials:  Extra Windows (for the houses)

• In DS... Placed, stretched and/or squeezed each item to my liking.  Welded it all together.  Selected the word "dog" on the dog house, not to cut.  Cut everything out of white card-stock x3 (extras are for envelope, inside, 3d & shadow effects).  Colored it all in, in a childlike fashion, for effect. Decorated Christmas Tree with a string of mini lights. Assembled on card as shown. It was that easy!

If you like it and have DS, I'm always happy to share the cut file, just let me know :):):) 

Cheers,

So I got a jump start w/ this awesome image by: Tracey Lynn Miller of Fred,She Said Designs. I used Copics to color the image and 3D parts of the truck :)

I hope you're having a beautiful day.... Thanks for looking!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!

The card base and envelope were made using my Cricut Expression machine and my new Wild Card cartridge. It's a great cartridge, but I can't see it working well if you have a smaller Bug. I had to adjust the card size a bit in order to use the 12 x 12 patterned paper I had selected and fortunately I had some 12 x 24 paper on hand to accommodate the envelope size. The card and envelope both tie shut. The adorable little girl w/ the package, is a Magnolia rubber stamp. I stamped I Love Christmas on her little top & put a cute little Santa hat on her.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on seals for handmade envelopes, I used a tie closure for this one, but that may not always be appropriate? TY!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying their day & Thanks for looking!
