Puppy Christmas

Happy Monday Crafters and Friends!  I wanted to make a Christmas card for my WONDERFUL vet and my WONDERFUL dog groomer.  They are both so fabulous and treat my dogs w/ such care I totally love them.  :)  So I just wanted to send them a little card to wish them Merry Christmas and thank them for all they do for me and my dogs.

Today also starts off a new challenge over at Paper Playtime.  The challenge theme is anything goes, you just need to include a sentiment on the front.  Super simple and there is a giveaway involved.

There is also just two days left to submit your project for the Simply Crafts Challenge blog.  Go HERE to submit your project w/ a stocking on it.  Fabulous giveaway to be had.

Simply Male B-day Card

Here is a simply birthday card that I made for my brother-in-law.  He is into cars and Nascar so that was my inspiration for the card.

I made the car w/ the Cricut Craft Room.  Layered all the layers and just made one cut instead of many layer cuts.  I flood filled the car w/ a design from the Snapshot:Texture Imagine cartridge.  I thought it looked really cool.  The "road" is black crochet thread that I use. It's so much cheaper than twine.  My birthday sentiment is from the My Pink Stampers Birthday Crazy stamp set.

Have a great weekend!

Episode 102: Make Your Own Gift Bags

Before we get to the gift bag project I just wanted to remind you of the challenge that Glora and I have going on over at Simply Crafts.  You have a week left to create a project that has an image of a stocking on it.  There is a fabulous giveaway w/ this challenge.  We only have one submission so far so you have a high chance of winning the giveaway if you submit!  :)

For my Creative Critterz Imaginations blog design team post I am sharing a couple of gift bags that I made w/ the Imagine.  It's super simple and everything coordinates when you use the Imagine for it.  :)  I used designer paper, an icon and an image from the Snow Angel Imagine cartridge for this project.  You can make this w/o the Imagine.  Enjoy!

I made two different sizes.  Here is the taller one scored w/ 2" (more details in the video).

Here is the smaller one scored w/ 3".

Here is a couple of pics w/ both of them in it so you can see the differences:

My sentiment is from the My Pink Stampers Biggie Christmas Sentiments stamp set.  I've stamped on the  bottom part of the inside of my card.
