Snowman Soup

It was really chilly here in Fresno today and my favorite thing to do on chilly days is to cuddle up on the couch, watch a movie and drink hot chocolate. As I was drinking my hot chocolate it reminded me of Snowman Soup. So I decided to make some.  Unfortunately I had to use two different types of ribbon. I didn’t realize I didn’t have enough of the plaid ribbon. But besides that little mishap I like the way they turned out. Simple and cute!

Christmas Cards #5

This is my last and final Christmas card share. Only because I forgot to take pics of the rest and they’ve been sent out already. Oh well!
Here we have a card that I made for a friends little boy. I thought it would be cute if he received his own card. I used the Create A Critter Cricut cartridge to cut out this adorable little penguin. I added some goggle eyes to give him some quirkiness and if you flick him he wobbles. I played with him for about 10 minutes before I sent him out. I couldn’t help myself.

So there you have it. I hope you have enjoyed my cards and I can’t wait to get started on other projects to share with you all. Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cards #4

Happy Saturday everyone. It’s been a good day. I finished my Christmas shopping and now it’s time to start baking. mmm
I have a couple of cards today that I have made using digi stamps from MakeItCrafty.com. I have to say that these cards are my favs so far.
Here we have Fairy Twinkles. Isn’t she cute? I’m not sure if this digi was meant for Christmas or not but she’s so cute I had to use her. I colored her with Artist Loft colored pencils from Michael’s and I’m really beginning to see a difference in my coloring. In a good way that is.  Once again I used last years paper from Recollections Bright and Jolly paper pad. Added some green Stickles and some red bling.

This cutie pie is named Sweet Angel. The name fits doesn’t it? I also colored her with Artist Loft Pencils and used papers from the same paper pack as above. She’s so sweet!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend. See you all soon.

Christmas Cards #3

Time to share some more cards.
On the first card I used a free cut of the week from Cricut.com  and cut it out using the Cricut Craft Room and my Cricut machine. I added some bling randomly around the card to give a bit of sparkle.
On the second card I used papers from last years Recollections Bright and Jolly paper pad. Added some ribbon and a simple greeting and just like that I was done.

I am so close to finishing all the cards that I'm beginning to get a bit sad. It’s so much fun making Christmas cards that I’m thinking of making them all year round. Don’t worry I won’t mail them out until Christmas. Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cards #2

I have a couple of more cards to share.So far these are my favorites.

For both cards I used the Christmas Cheer svg cut file from svgcuts.com. I love the way the Christmas tree turned out. But for some reason it reminds me of Charlie Browns Christmas. hmmm. I added some Recollections Glitz to the ornaments and star to make it more festive. Can't have Christmas without glitter.

On this cute cross eyed guy I used my Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls embossing folder to emboss some swirls around his feet to make it look like snow. I also added some Glitz to the edges of the trees to give it some sparkle. And lastly a little red gem on his nose.

The cards were so much fun to make and I still have some more cards to make from this collection.

For those of you who have cutting machines go check out svgcuts.com. They have some really cute and fun svg files.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cards

I’ve been working very hard on making my Christmas cards this year. Here is a sampling of a few cards I have made.
The papers are from last years DCWV Christmas pack. The greeting and nativity are from Hero Arts clear stamps “Greatest Gift” set. I embossed the greeting with Recollections Metallic Silver embossing powder.
I really love this stamp set. It’s what Christmas is really all about. Love it!

I’m half way done with making my cards. I didn’t realize how many cards I had to make. I’m having a blast making them though. So no worries. I will be posting some more pics later this week.  Thanks for stopping by.
