Winter Scrapbook Page Layout

I bought this beautiful paper pad from Michael's, it's a Recollections 12x12 pad and it's Seasonal and it's called "Crystal Frost" it's all silvery and blue and I just love it.  I made this Winter layout using the paper and some die cuts from my Cricut Explore. I'm not sure that it's showing up very well, but I covered the title in Glossy Accents and it really added a nice effect.  The snowflakes are from an old punch that I have and I'm not even sure where I got it.

More Christmas Cards!

I'm so happy that I'm almost done with Christmas Cards! I actually have just the inside greetings to stamp and the envelopes to make (although I will probably buy those just to save some time).  I can't hardly believe it's time to send out Christmas cards, where did the year go? I had so much fun making the "Window" cards and I think they turned out really cute.  The window's were cut from the Cricut and the images were a "print then cut" feature of the Cricut, which is really great.  The top card with is made using little wooden laser cuts that I bought at Michael's and the inside flourish's were made using my cuddlebug and spellbinders die.

A New Christmas Project

Finally, a new post! and a new project to go with it.

This is an Explosion Box Card that I've made for my brother and his family for Christmas.  The cardstock that I used is Recollections (from Michael's) seasonal "Red and White Christmas" 12x12 pad and a bunch of stuff that was cut from my cricut Explore.  I will let the photos describe the box.

Making Christmas Cards

I've been knee deep in Christmas card creation and wanted to share the different types of cards that I made.  I've been working alot with different stamping techniques, trying to get competent with the different methods.  I love the different techniques of creating backgrounds.  I used Colorbox pigment and dye ink as well as Close to My Heart, Stampin Up! and Ranger.  I must say that I like the Colorbox the best for overall general background making and Ranger Jet Black for Stamping images that need to be colored in later.  For messages, such as Greetings, I recently bought a VersaFine and oh my gosh, do I ever love it!  My greetings come out so much better.

Christmas Is on It's Way!

I was inspired by Pinterest to make this card and to be honest, it was terribly difficult lol.  I wan't able to find a template for the inside mats and it was that part that I had trouble with, not the pop up part.  I think the card turned out very well and I know my daughter will love it.
