Another Christmas Card

I made this card for a few last minute gifts.  The embossing came from the Fiskars Texture Plates, and the reindeer is from the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge.  The ribbon reads, "Merry Christmas" in alternating red and green.  This will be submitted in the Paper Playtime challenge "Anything Christmas". 

Latest & Greatest

I was just thinking about how far I have come in designing cards over the past year.  Crafty Cardmakers was reading my mind when they posted the challenge to upload your oldest and newest cards.  The left card is my Christmas card from 2009.  I thought it was great with the red borders and ribbon that matched the tree from the clip art off my computer.  Shortly after this card was made, my husband bought me a Cricut for Christmas.  The right card shows what I've done with my Doodlecharms cartridge, a stamp, brads, and a unique cut of the background paper for Christmas 2010. 

Hot Cocoa Card

We had a blizzard hit our area today, so I finished making some Christmas gifts.  I made several of these cards with a surprise packet of hot chocolate inside for friends.  The card is similar to a matchbook.  The snowman is from the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge, and the stamp is from Stampin' Up.  It is hard to tell, but the ribbon has snowflakes on it.  This card fits the Fabulous Cricut challenge (hand made gift with a Cricut image [snowman]) and Paper Cutz (Use a Snowman).  I was inspired by this get well card by CG. 

2010 Christmas Card

As time passes, my cards are becoming more complex.  I was very pleased with how these Christmas cards turned out, but it took more time to make for my entire list of family and friends than I anticipated.  It was worth the time and effort!  The reindeer is from Create a Critter, and the tree is from Doodlecharms.  The right flap is held closed with a brad and ribbon. 

The inside of the card has a pocket with a change of address card.  This card will be entered into the Paper Cutz Challenge to use two kinds of patterned paper and Alphabet Challenge Blog F is for Foilage (Christmas Tree). 

Gingerbread Boy

I am officially addicted to making cards!  I had some gingerbread ribbon, and I could not wait to make this card.  The cutout is from the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge.  The hello stamp (tagger's dozen) and tag punches are from Stampin' Up.  This card was entered into the Mojo Monday sketch contest #163, Totally Papercrafts Challenge #41 Tag It, and Paper Playtime Challenge #23 Use Clock, Ticket, or Tag. 

Snowman Card

I made this card using layered vellum and blue snowflakes secured with silver brads.  The snowman and snowflakes are from the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge.  This card is being entered into the Cute Card Thursday challenge #137 to use vellum and Cricut Cardz Challenge #49 to make a Christmas card that starts with the letter "S" (snowman, snowflakes).
