Christmas Cards for 2013

Hi Everyone,

Here are some simple Christmas cards I made for this year since I need to send out about 35 cards.  I used the Teresa Collins -Dec 25th cartridge for the Santa and sleigh.  The Merry Christmas and Oh Christmas Tree embellishments are from Me and My  Big Ideas Card  pack.  Noel was cut from the Anna Griffith Winter Wonderland cartridge and I used a Martha Stewart punch on the bottom border.

Cricut Secret Stocking Swap-what I sent

Hi Everyone,

My secret swap partner was JoyJo!  I had so much fun making items fo JoyJo!  I made her a christmas charm out of blue beads and christmas bells and charms.  It has a white snowman bell on the middle charm.  I found this at Pat Catans and got the last two packs.  I also made a christmas wallet with Joy on the front.  I found this wallet on You Tube of course and only takes an afternoon.  My card to JoyJo feature Bear Clause from Teddy Bear Parade.  It also has a wooden JOY embellishment that I painted with Green Martha Stewart Pearl Paint and used Icicle Stickles on it.  I also used lots of Icicle Stickles on Bear Clause.  Here are the pics of the swap items.

12 Days of Goodies Swap-Swap Partner

Hi All,
I mailed my swap box back on Dec. 2nd and here are some pics of the packaging.  KittyScraps had to check out the box before mailing.  Irishdancer is my Swap Partner.  I painted my tags with Martha Stewart Pearl Paint-Aquamarine, Festive Berries and Pearl.  I used the Cricut Everyday Cartridge for the tag numbers and added red or blue baker's twine to the tags.  For the card I used the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge for the Santa Bear.  I used Diamond stickles on the white areas of the santa.  I painted the wooden christmas tree with Martha Stewart  Grass Green pearl paint and also used Diamond stickles on it.
