12 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 5

I can't tell you how excited I am!!  Christmas is almost here!  I am cutting it close this year, but am back with my 12 tags of Christmas series.  As anyone who visits my blog regularly will be aware, I make a TON of Christmas tags.  I give them away as gifts for teachers, hostesses, bus drivers, hair dressers and keep a few for myself...  Welcome to Day 5!  

I'm sorry today's post is a little late.  I had intended to schedule all of my blog posts, so they were ready to go daily - and yet...  Something always happens to throw off my day, I'm going to try to get around to it today ;)

Today's tag showcases a stamps and dies from My Creative Time and a sentiment from Cardz TV Stamps:

Emma released this set last year, and as soon as I saw the sneak peeks, I KNEW I was buying it.  I love the versatility of her set.  You can find it HERE.

You all know how much I love Mary's CTV Stamps!  This set is one of my favorites.  You can find it HERE.

Come back tomorrow, and every day between now and Christmas Eve to see all 12 of my tag creations for Christmas 2016!

Flowers for my Mother

Pin It


Happy Thursday everyone!  I hope you are all enjoying a beautiful day :)  I have a project that I made today WITHOUT my Cricut - I know, shocking, right?  I do love her...  however, Emma, over at My Creative Time, challenged us to a project without our Cricut, and I decided to take her up on that.  Here is what I came up with:

I made this gift card holder with Emma's Gift Card Holder Die, and also used her More Gift Card Sentiments Set.  Don't they co-ordinate perfectly?  I hand cut the leaves, and hand cut the flowers and rolled them.  They were so much easier than I thought, and while not perfect, I am pretty happy with how they turned out :)  I followed a video I saw on You Tube HERE.  The ribbon is from Michael's.

Here is a side view of my flowers, so you can see just how much dimension they have.  maybe I don't need one of those cartridges that makes flowers...   I chose the colors of green, white and various shapes of pink so that i could play along with Getting Cricky's Simply Sunday Challenge.

I am going to get my Mum a movie gift card, and give it to her for Mother's Day.  I think she'll love it :)  Thanks for visiting today.  Be sure to come back tomorrow, I will have a tag to show you for 52 Weeks of Tags.  See ya then!

There are so many challenges out there that my gift card could play along with, here are some of them:
My Creative Time - cricutless
Simply Sunday - green, white and one other color (shades of pinks)
My Mum's Craft Shop - mother's day

Cricut Cardz - Wearing of the Green

Pin It

Happy Wednesday every one!  It is mid-March Break here is Nova Scotia, so my crafting time has been a bit limited.  Maybe, next week :)  Today is Cricut Cardz Challenge #104 - Wearing of the Green.  Mary challenged us to use any cartridge to make a card who's main color is green.   Here is what I came up with:

Isn't it cute??  So, this is a simple 3.5x3.5 card.  I cut the shamrock from Paper Doll Dress up, and Peachied him up with PK Boy Mates, and doodled with my Sakura Jelly Roll pen.  The border and stamped sentiment are from My Creative Time stamps.  I adore this set that Emma created called Small Talk.  It comes with a ton of sentiments, and they all fit perfectly in that little space.  Awesome, huh?  The paper is mostly Stampin Up and the ribbon is from Michael's.

Hope on over to Cricut Cardz Challenge, see what the rest of the DT came up with to inspire you, and be sure to play along with us!  Thanks for dropping in today, I hope to be back later this afternoon, with a project that I have been working on since last week - it is almost done, so hopefully the kids will let me have a little crafting time today.
