In the Christmas Spirit!

I am so in the Christmas spirit today! Wishing my DH would bring the Christmas stuff out of the attic. Maybe next weekend. Well today I have been off work so I took advantage of my free time. I went to Hobby Lobby and took advantage of the 50% off Christmas Crafts and bought some stickers and paper to make Christmas cards. this is just one of the many I made today. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Thank You Card

I made this card to send to a new craft friend. I hope she will like it when she receives it.

I cut the flower and the tag on the Cricut Imagine using the Plantin cartridge for the flower and the tag is one of the basic shapes built into the Imagine. I used Cotton Candy ink to color the flower and the tag. I used Colorblok white core cardstock to make the background. I put it through the Cuddlebug in the swirls folder then sanded the paper. I made a paper bow out of some old paper.

Hope you are doing good and inspired to craft! Have a great day!

Orange Glitter

I had a blast Saturday thrift store shopping. I found a shelf to store the stamps I use the most. I plan on painting it black.

Not sure what I will store in this house yet but it matched the box below it I already had. I painted the box black green and yellow to match the toom.  Not sure if I will paint the house like the other or leave it for now.

 Thrift stores have been a great resource for storage for me. The Habitat Restore and Goodwill have had some awesome items that I have incorporated into my house and craft room storage.

Pinwheel Thank You Card

Cricut Imagine Yummy Cartridge for scallop circle, swirl, and Thank You color.

Thank you was made from the Wild Card Cricut Cartridge

I used Modge Podge Dimensional Magic on the swirls and the Thank You.

To create the pinwheel I used Martha Stewarts Lattace border punch and the Martha Stewart Score board. I cut the 12 in paper to a 1 1/2 inch strip. used punch on edge then scored the paper every 1/4 inch.

My Creative Time Design Team Call

I am so excited to share the pop up card I just made for the MY CREATIVE TIME DESIGN TEAM CALL! I have not been able to buy any of her stamps yet but I really like them. The mixture of fonts she uses are very pretty and unique. Inside the card I used a recipe for what I call Shimmer Mist that I had found. The pop up pattern I used is from Robert Sabuda's free pop up card patterns and directions. I cut it out on Colorbok paper then distressed the edges of the flower and the card with Cranberry "Ink it up" ink.

The outside of the card was made with the Birthday Extravaganza  and Adhesive Simplicity paper by The Paper Studios. The scalloped circle on the front was printed on my Cricut Imagine using the Imagine More cartridge. I distressed the edges with Tim Holtz "Vintage Photo" distress ink.

I hope you enjoyed the card! I don't know if I have a chance because of all the talented people out there but never hurts to give it a try.
