DEC 25th

This is another simple card but I love how it turned out.  I don't use plaid patterned papers much, in fact my husband wasn't too sure about this one.  Hey, at least he's honest...LOL!!

Recipe:
A2 card base in Kraft
DCWV - Christmas Combo stack - green patterned paper (leaves)
DCWV - Merry Christmas stack - all the rest of the patterned papers

Winter Woodlands Cricut cart - holly @ 3"
Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cart - DEC @ 1/2" using Roly Poly feature, tag @ 2 3/4", '25' @ 3/4"

Brown ink for edges of cardbase and tag, red organza ribbon by Ribbon Boutique, white marvy gel pen for doodles on leaves, pop dots, grosgrain red ribbon by Basic Narrows (M's).

I cut the '25' out of the tag so it's the negative space and the ribbon behind it makes it red.  I thought this was kinda cool :-)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Red Reindeer

This is a simple one.  I wanted the embossing and the beautiful foil paper to really shine.

Recipe:
DCWV- Merry Christmas Stack - red foil
DCWV - The Christmas matstack - red patterned paper (deer)
DCWV - Christmas Combo stack - red patterned paper (background layer)

Winter Woodlands Cricut cart - deer @ 4"

CC Wkly Challenge # 45: Run for the Border

Why does the title on this challenge make me think Taco Bell??  LOL!  It's been a few years since I've had Taco Bell.  Maybe it's a sign...Hee..hee!  Okay, I made a Christmas card for my project.  I put the border above and below an embossed white strip of paper to create the background for my card.  I kinda like how simple this looks :-)

Recipe:
A2 card in Kraft

DCWV -Merry Christmas Stack -all patterned papers

Create a Critter Cricut cart - lights @ 2"
Elegant Edges Cricut cart - burst - border @ 5" using fit-to-lenth feature ( I cut two and put one above and one below the white embossed paper)

Cuttlebug embossing folder - snowflakes

Pop dots for the bulbs, TPC Studio stamp from the Christmas Greetings set, Oriental Trading co brads, Sew Easy Fancy floss in wintergreen & candy stripe.

I tied the bows around the post of the brad and then applied the brad as normal--so the brad is anchoring the bow to the card :-)  Easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Good luck to all in this challenge!
