Artfully Sent Reindeer Card Piecing and Freebie

Happy Thursday crafty friends,
Hope you are having a wonderful day. Today I am showcasing another project I created from the fun and ON SALE….Artfully Sent cartridge.  I have been having a ball working with this fun cartridge in conjunction with the Cricut Explore and Design Space software. So here is what I came up with.

Okay I just have to insert something here…trying to get pictures of this project has LITERALLY been like PULLING TEETH!!!! First I took pictures with my camera…and my card wouldn’t read in my computer!!! I could use is in my camera, but my card reader in my laptop wouldn’t pick it up….UGH…spent about 45 minutes trying to get that to work. So I finally gave up and then turned to my phone. Took photos again and then tried to message them to myself…and I kept getting a send failure notice…UGH. Then lastly, I tried “emailing” them to myself….FINALLY….SOOOOO I apologize, these pics aren’t the best quality but I think they will work

Here’s a look at the completed card. I used some green cardstock for the base. The base with the HO HO HO is a cut in the Artfully Sent cartridge. I used the Design Space software and my Artfully sent cartridge to create this adorable little reindeer piecing.

Here’s a closer look at the stamped sentiment. The frame and the sentiment are both also in the Artfully Sent bundle. I used my Cranberry Ink Pad to stamp the frame and sentiment. The tag is already in the Artfully sent cartridge too.

Here is just a slight side view to show that I used a little foam tape to give the reindeer piecing and the sentiment a little lift. I finished off the card with a little bow. I also added some Gold Glitz stickles to his little wreath to jazz it up. The papers I used were once again from the DCWV Evergreen Stack.

Pazzles Holly Jolly Hop

Pazzles-Holiday-Hop
Happy Saturday crafty friends,
Welcome to the Pazzles Holly Jolly Holiday Blog Hop. This is the second year our Design Team has done a fun Holiday Blog hop. It is such a pleasure to share all the fun things we can do with our cutters. The biggest news for Pazzles this year was the release of the Pazzles Inspiration Vue machine. It is very similar to the original Inspiration but with some fantastic improvements. For starters the machine has an optical eye for more accurate print and cut. The machine is also able to cut very small and accurate cuts. It is a fantastic machine and well worth every crafty cent spent. Pazzles also has a wonderful special to get you into the machine for only $99. Check it out HERE
Inspiration- Vue Print and Cut

So on to my hop project.

I made this super cute swing-flip card. 
I followed the instructions on one of the many FREE videos in the Pazzles library.   Klo takes you step by step through on how to make your own flip-swing card. One of the MAJOR benefits to owning the Pazzles is the amount of work and effort they put into helping you acclimate to your new machine. They are with you every step of the way. Unlike other companies that sell you a machine and then expect you to go searching for help on third party forums and groups, Pazzles has a representative that has spent hundreds of hours creating videos that show you how to get the very most out of your machine. I followed Klo’s wonderful instructions and was able to make my card without any problems.

I used the gingerbread girl file. It is a FREE file available from Pazzles. Pazzles has an amazing craft room with thousands of SVG files. So even if you don’t use the Pazzles cutter, you can still benefit from a Pazzles craft room subscription and download tons of svg files for which ever cutter you use.

Free File

Head over to the Pazzles craft room library and pick this cutie up in the free section…Available for a limited time only, so grab it while you can!

So now for my second project. I made this super quick and EASY card. I once again used the free gingerbread girl file and created a print n’ cut for the focal point. I then created a base from kraft cardstock and the patterned paper came from the Paper Studios All Seasons Three Paper Stack. The rest was cardstock. The pretty doily is a file that came from the Pazzles Craft Room. I did also use an EK punch for my bottom border.

Day 13 of 25 Days Lacey Ornament Card

25days2013-day13
Hello crafty friends,
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you have enjoyed the free files and crafty inspiration thus far. Today is special as it is my first time posting for the SOUS Stuck On U Sketches Challenge Blog Die Cut Design Team. I was honored to have been asked to join the team by one of the co-founders, Ms. Nanette. Every other Friday, there will be a new challenge up. I will try to offer a “free svg cut” to help with your inspiration and creativity in the hopes you will join us! So here is what I have for you today.
Ornament
This challenge we were asked to create a project with an ornament or ornament themed. I had originally wanted to create one of those 3-D ornaments that have been floating around the paper crafting world. But, the ornament would have been for me to enjoy and I really needed to finish a few more Christmas Cards, so….the ornament went on the back burner and  I ended up creating this card instead.
Here is the card I created. I used some pretty foiled paper from the DCWV Die Cuts With A View Evergreen Paper Stack. The ornament cut was from the PaperCraftingWorld.com 
Lacey Ornament Cut File set.

Here is a closer view of my colored image. It is from PCW.
I used my Copic markers to color in the image.

Day 5 of 25 Days of Christmas And Year 'Round Crafting

Hello crafty friends, Thank you once again for joining me on this Crafty adventure. Today, I have a super quick and cute Card-Gift Card Holder to share with you. 

ornament card holder-450
Here’s a look at my finished card. I used a cute ornament cut file from the Pazzles Craft RoomOf COURSE, I used some fun, FLASHY and festive Die Cuts With A View DCWV patterned paper from the DCWV Evergreen Paper Stack!

card holder opened-450
Here is a shot of the inside of the card. It has a nice little fold inside so that it will hold a gift card!!!!

So here’s how to assemble the card.
ornament card holder folding-450
Here is a view of the inside of the card. To create the card simply take a piece of cardstock 5.5 x 11 and score at 4.25”, 5.5” and 6.75”. You will fold them together to create the “pocket”. Place adhesive on the three sides to create the sandwich.

card slot-cu-450b
Trim a slit about one inch in from each edge and it will make a perfect pocket for your gift card. This is actually the crease that the paper is folded on.
You will have a standard size card to decorate and done! Simple, easy and effective.
This shot just shows how pretty that DCWV paper is. It is already foiled. I cut the outline in plain white cardstock and then used my Glitter Gel to sparkle it up! Finished the top with a button, bow and twine....YUMMY! It comes together very fast!
