Cricut Challenge 15

Hello there, I hope you are all doing well this week-end.  This weeks challenge was inspired by DD's Crafts, I was browsing her blog and just loved the way these looked. So of course I had to make them for some friends of mine who are having a birthday around the same time. The top one I use the Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder. On both of them I used some matching Stickles.

The cart I used is:
Smiley Cards  the cake and all the layers were cute at 3 1/2"

Thank you for stopping by today, Have a wonderful day.

Mom's Christmas Cards

Well my friends, Christmas has come and gone, But I forgot to share this other card I made for my mom. I made this in November, but I forgot to take pictures of it. So I finally got 1 back to share with you. I had literally just got into stamping, (Thanks Gail) lol, so I wasn't very creative. I did copy this from the
 Stampin-Up Catalog. I honestly don't remember all the colors I used, oh well. I did use stickles,a SU Border punch,a glitter marker,distressing stripes Cuttlebug embossing folder,SU Stamp,and a gold ribbon.
The picture doesn't show but I did color the image with color pencils, but it's so light that the camera did not pick it up. So this is, to be honest my first stamped card I made.

Snowman Topnote Goody Bag

Well this was a very fun project, I had to copy from http://stampinwitheerlinda.blogspot.com/2010/12/snowman-top-note-mini-album.html. This worked out perfect for my Husbands Christmas potluck lunch at work.

I first started by cutting the topnotes for the bags. 2 topnotes per bag are needed.

I used Stampin up TopNote die, The card stock I used was red by ARC Papers purchased at The Crafting Place.

Then I embossed the topnote with the Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots embossing folder purchased at the crafting place @ 3560 East Russell Rd. Las Vegas Nv 89120

Then I cut out the box to sandwich between the top notes.

I assembled the box with red tacky tape.

From this point add the top notes to each side.

I also added some punch outs of snowflakes using Martha Stewart punches,I added some pop dots for dimension.

I also pieced snowmen using the Cricut Expression and the Christmas Cheer Cart.I also used Stickles on the hat and on the button holes. I cut the Snowman at 3".
I think it came out really cute, and a great office gift. I filled mine with a dozen mini Christmas tree cookies in Cello bags.
