Artfully Sent Christmas Card With How To And Coloring Video

Happy Christmas crafty friends,
Here is my last card for the Holiday season. I decided to finally break out my Cricut Artfully sent cartridge for this one.

Here’s a look at my completed card. I used the Cricut Artfully sent cartridge to cut the base out. The patterned paper is from the Old World Winter Stack from Paper Studio by Hobby Lobby. I then used the Yuletide Greetings Stamp set from CTMH to stamp the holly images on the corners. I used some Shin Han Touch Twin Markers to color in the holly leaves and berries. I created a video on how I put this card together and my coloring.

Here’s a closer look at the Holly leaves and berries. I also used some rich May Arts Ribbon for the strap and borders.

Here’s a closer look at the French horn image. I used the Dessert Sand ink pad to stamp the image. I then used my touch twin markers to color in the image.

Here’s a photo of the inside of the card. All the cuts once again were from the Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge.

Noel Card

Happy Tuesday crafty friends,
Hope you are getting ready for Christmas and or you are enjoying Chanukah.  Here is one of the last two Christmas-Holiday cards I created.



Here’s a look at the base of the front of the top of the card. I used the Old Winter from the Hobby Lobby Paper Studio pack. I used my Saddle Ink Pad to ink the edges. I used the EK Success border punch for the borders and inked those as well. I used some of the pretty May Arts Ribbon with pearls ribbon.


Here is a closer look at the pearl stamens I added.  I used the cut file to use as a frame for the picture.

Here is a closer at the pretty ribbon roses. I added pearls to the centers and then used some American Crafts flower underneath the rose. If you need to learn how to make these roses, I have a video, one with ribbon and one with paper.

Hot Cocoa Treat Holder With Video How To

Happy Friday crafty friends,
As we enter the last weekend before Christmas, I am sure last minute gift ideas is among the list of possible things to craft. So today’s post is right up that alley. Here is a Hot Cocoa Treat Holder I designed.

This is the front cover of the treat holder. The SVG file set comes with the base as well as the cute little circle scalloped frame. For the patterned paper I used the DCWV Christmas & Winter 180 Value Stack. The 2014 stack. I used some pretty ribbon from May Arts and some little gems from my CTMH stash.

Here’s a closer look at the cute little hot cocoa printable I created that goes with the cut file set.

Hot Cocoa Treat Holder Cut File SET With Printable Image and Sentiments SET

Here’s a look at the inside of the cocoa pocket holder without anything in it. It will easily hold a couple of envelopes of hot cocoa and or one envelope and some marshmallows. The cut file set includes the half scalloped frame as well.

Here’s a closer look at the inside top flap. Along with the rest of printables, this “Have A Cup Of Cheer” is included. You can easily print it out and cut it by hand or import it into your die cut machine software and use it as a print n’ cut.

Here’s a look at the pocket with a packet of hot cocoa and a packet of marshmallows.

Here’s a closer look at the to and from tag another of the three printables included with this file set.

Lastly, here’s a look at the front of the cover on a bit of an angle. To learn how to put the packet together, be sure to head over to You Tube and watch my Video.
