Christmas House Card #1

Christmas House Card #1. This card is from the Cricut Lite Cartridge Jolly Holidays. I will post more houses for the next few days, all made with Jolly Holidays. I made an easel card out of them...better to show them off!! I put a Christmas tag on the bottom part of the easel card. The background is from a Christmas pack of paper.

Christmas Tree

Took a little holiday break from card making. :) Though over the Thanksgiving holiday I did make this EASY Christmas tree decoration with one of my granddaughters. The base is a simple tepee card, then a used 4 snowman from the Christmas Cheer Cartridge and made a 3-D topper. The rest of the tree is just circle we punched out and curled. We also added some punched snowflakes here and there. SO EASY!

Birthday Explosion Card Box














I found a tutorial online at you tube for this explosion box. I thought it a great surprise for a friends 60th birthday. (Happy 60th Birthday Donna!). Used many cartridges and both the Imagine and Expression machines. Was a lot of fun will do another one after the holidays.

It's getting cold outside!


Even though it is Fall..it's getting cold outside. This card seems to me to have the feel of that. I used the cartridge Enjoy the Seasons, the images on the front of the card are cut at 3.5 and the inside at 2.0.

50th Anniversary Card

50th Anniversary Card. I made this card last week for a friend and her husband's 50th Anniversary. I had just got the Formal Occasion Cartridge and this was a perfect time to use it. I cut out the Tux on page 32 at 2 1/2". The Dress on page 30 (dress9) at 4". I didn't like the flower on the Tux page..it was way too small to handle at 4", so I used the flower on page 28 (dress7) layer 2 cut at 3". I used Winter Wonderland to cut the numbers out. It is my new go to cartridge for letters and number. The black was from the font shadow at 2 1/4",  the green at 2 and the yellow from font at 2". Just got the paper flowers, I really like them. The stamp is from Stampin Up.

Haunted House





Okay...here is my Haunted House from the Happy Hauntings Cartridge. Stephanie cut it all out for me when I went for a visit (She lives in another state..not close! :( :(  Thank you Stephanie!!! When I got home I spent two afternoon cutting out all the embellishments, making the bottom, and putting it all together. For the bottom I just cut a piece of cardboard and painted it.

Beer Card!

It is my hubby's birthday..as you can guess he loves beer! I got the idea for this card from the "Everyday Cricut" blog (yesterday's post). Check my blog list on the right to go there. I used the cricut cartridge that came loaded with my Gypsy. That is where I got all the cute beer mugs. The Cheers! was off the Wrap it Up cartridge and the numbers from Celebrations cartridge. Happy Birthday Hubby! I love you!!!

Pear Card using Cricut Imagine Kate's Kitchen Cartridge. I left the front phrase area blank to stamp later, perhaps a "Happy Anniversary". The images are cut at 3.5. You can make so many fast and easy cards with the Imagine. As you can see, I have been going crazy making these easy cards!!

With a Cherry On Top!


Another Imagine Kate's Kitchen Card. I love this card and this stamp to go with it. The stamp is from Stampin' Up. Image on front cut at 3.5 and the inside cherries cut at 2.0. I also used the cuttlebug to emboss the image on the front of the card. Haven't used the cuttlebug in ages, I really should more often.

Fall Squirrel Card


Fall Squirrel Card with the Imagine Enjoy the Seasons Cartridge. I just love this leaf background!
This an A2 card, so I find cuting the images and layes at 3.5 work really will, as you can look back
at my imagine cards I have done and see most all are cut at 3.5 and so is this one.
I also try to make an extra image of something to put on the inside, in this case an extra Squirrel!
