Santa

Can you believe it is that time of year again to start making Christmas cards?  I made this card with paper I found at the $1 store, Paper Doll Dressup cricut cartridge and a Peachy Keen stamp.  I cut the Santa at 4.5 inches.

Here is a birthday card I made using the Cricut cartridges George Basic Shapes and ???  Sorry I forget which cartridge I used for the cake as I have a few cartridges with acake, and I have also been helping my daughter make her Halloween treats for school (too many things on the go).  The face is of course Peachy Keen.  I used the bargain $1.50 stamps from Michaels for the sentiment.

Well, the inspiration for this project was the Peachy Keen challenge of using a toilet paper roll.  I tried making a pillow box but had no success, so here I am!  I think I will do this to put my daughter's Easter treats in for her classmates.

Cupcake Card

My daughter has a birthday party to go to this weekend and I thought I would try making a shape card as I have seen so many cute cards on the net.  I used some of my new ribbon and bling that I got at Michaels on clearance a few weeks ago.

Valentine's Crackers

I wanted to make a quick gift for my daughter's classes at her schools so I came up with these crackers.  They were really fast to make.  I used the Create a Critter cartridge for the phrase and the Peachy Keen stamp for the face.  Inside I put some Valentine's candy.  I am having so much fun crafting that I am already planning what I will make for Easter!  My daughter is enjoying helping me create the projects also.

Well, time to get ready for the next holiday!  I wanted to try out my new cartridge Create a Critter.  I debated for a long time whether to purchase this cartridge or not, but after I kept seeing all of the cute projects others have made I caved.  This is the first time I am also putting ribbon and a bow on a card.

Time for the first challenge of the year!  I used the Mojo Monday sketch.   I find working from a sketch so much easier, so this card came together fairly quickly.  I used paper from Michaels, bling from the $1 store, and the Sweet Treats cricut cartridge for the wording.
