Day 14–25 Days of Cricut(Crafting) Holiday Fun

Good morning everyone, hope you're having a wonderful day. Let's get right to it!

Here is February’s Calendar pages :-)

I used the Designer’s Calendar and the Love Struck Cartridges. I cut the title at 1.5” and the heart was at 3.5…not absolutely sure about that size though.

I glittered the heart and the title with some Stickles and inked around the patterned paper and the calendar. Pretty simple, but it is very pretty in person.

Here is the “My Version” with today’s free files. I created the photo corners, the February title. I did also create the heart, but it isn’t one of the free files today….sorry.

Here is another version using the same files. I just made the heart bigger and the photo corners bigger.

So now for today’s free files:

Day #13 - FCCB Holiday Crawl

Good morning everyone, 

So glad to have you here today!  Today is a special day…it is Day #13 of our 25 Days of Cricut (Crafting) holiday fun AND it is the first day of the super fun : Fantabulous Cricut Holiday Crawl (hop)!   The Designers have been super busy creating all sorts of wonderful holiday decorations for your enjoyment! If you have come from Lori’s blog from the hop you are going in the right direction!

Today’s Project is something I created to participate in the crawl as well as continue to offer you some wonderful crafting inspiration! So let’s get right to it!

This is an 18x18 wall canvas that I made to decorate my otherwise very bare living room walls :-) Everything (except the ribbon) is Paper :-)  Gotta love that paper!

I used some old Basic Grey paper to cover the canvas and then created the Poinsettia flowers and flourishes and bells. I cut the letters from my computer as well.  The Lacey Circle is from the PAPER LACE Cartridge and then I finished it off with the Reason for the Season Digi Stamp.

Here is a close up of the poinsettia’s I made. I used a poinsettia file I created and gave away a few days back. I glimmer misted them and inked their edges. With the white ones, they look “dirty” in the photo, but that is actually gold paint. They are really pretty in person. I finished them off with some Champagne Stickles in the centers.

Day 11–25 Days of Cricut(Crafting) Holiday Fun, FREE Files

Good morning everyone and happy SATURDAY!  Boy we are in FULL Swing with the holidays!

Our little town is having it’s Christmas parade today, so we are going to head out and watch it….yes, I realize many of you live in an area where a parade is out of the question right now :-) Having been born and raised in a northern state, seeing Santa walking down the street, ringing his bell….and sweating profusely…lol...wasn’t part of my idea for Holiday fun….but you get used to your surroundings!

Okay, enough rambling, on to today’s projects.

Today Sheryl (Beanie) from our design team sent me a plethora of holiday stuff she has been working on….Talk about a little elf, bug-juiced on Cricky-roids….okay, my made up name for steroids….the Cricut version…lol…sorry starting to ramble again!

Anyway, here are some fabby projects to feast your eyes!

Some adorable cards featuring the print n’ cut technique from Make The Cut.

A super cute pull out tag.

And this scalloped – Poinsettia tag. You can visit Beanie’s Blog to see more of her wonderful creations.

Now for my project for today

I created these tags for a tag swap that I was a part of. I have never done anything like this before, 

so I was pretty excited. I can’t wait to see what tags I get back

Here is a close up of the tag. The cartridges I used:

• The Sentimentals Cartridge for the tag
• I did use my Gypsy to “hide” the holes in the tags
• The Lacey Labels Cartridge for the smaller snowflakes
• The Joys of The Season Cartridge for the large snowflake
• I used George and Basic Shapes Cartridge to cut the 2 circles at the top.
• I used some very old Basic Grey patterned paper for the top layer of the tag.
• I found the angel image on the net.
• The little frame around the image was just some cardstock that I punched at the top and bottom with an EK Success border punch.
• I inked all the pieces with my trusty Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink and the snowflakes were also lightly inked with Azurite Chalk Ink.
• I glued the circles down and then punched a hole at once and through all the layers with my Crop-I-Dile.
• Lastly I added ribbon at the top and used the Diamond and Champagne Stickles to glitz it up just a bit.

So now for today’s FREE files. I didn’t get a chance to make a sample tag from the files I created, but here is a picture of what the files look like.

Here is the link to the FREE cutting files. This includes the tag, the “picture frame” and the two types of snowflakes.

Here is the link to the rejoice pdf digi stamp

Here is the link to the picture. I think it is okay to share as I found it on the net. I wish I could give you the link, I downloaded a whole bunch of vintage clipart last year…oh gosh actually it was two Christmas's ago…man where is the time going! For some cards I had made. If anyone happens to know of the place, please let me know. I am all about giving credit where credit is due.  But I do know these images are really, really old, so I don’t even know if a copyright exists on them anymore.

As always, Thank you SO MUCH for taking your time to be a part of our blog. We appreciate you stopping by and sharing in our work. Hopefully you are inspired and blessed! Have a Cricutliciously Crafty Weekend!

Day 9–25 Days of Cricut(Crafting) Holiday Fun

Good morning all,

Today’s projects are in keeping with our new challenge. No Red and Green TOGETHER. You can use one or the other (or neither) but not both :-)

I am a bit behind on a few Christmas cards so today I switched gears and made some of those instead of a layout.

Here they are.

This card I made using the Paper Lace and Winter Woodlands cartridges.

The “paper lace” was cut at 5.25” and then misted with glimmer mist and inked around the edges with gold paint. The picture really doesn’t show all the shimmer.

Here is a close up of the flower. It is from Winter Woodlands. I used the same flower cut for the leaves. I just cut the petal in half and omitted one of the petals.

I used Champagne Stickles to create the “dots” on the center and for the veins of the leaves.

Here is “My Version” I created the “paper lace”, 

the flower and the Christmas Blessings Digital Stamp.

Here is a close up of the poinsettia flower.

Thank you so much for continuing to stop by each day! With everyone so busy, we surely do appreciate you taking a moment to come by and share in the holiday fun with us!  Please be sure to join our Facebook page and you could win one of 2 $10 gift voucher- downloads from Page-Kits.com !
