Over at BBTB2, Agnes has chosen the vulture cut from Life's a Party. The thing I love about challenges is that it makes you think about a cut that maybe you would overlook any other time! Well,this vulture was never on my radar,but I love how my card came out! Do pop over and be inspired by the amazing DT projects and there's still time to enter.

Mr Vulture decided to dress up as a Pumpkin for trick or treating! Looks like his last house didn't give him a treat!!!!!!

Hi,hope your week is going well. I decided to make another christmas card for My Pink Stamper  and to help me get ahead with my stash. Lots of you may remember  my Reindeer Treat Box which you can click Here to see if you don't. Thought I would make a christmas card to match and I like how it turned out.

Apologies now as you know I'll have to make a Santa card to match my Santa box!!!

Reindeer Treat Box

Hi, two posts in one day! My card mojo may be awol but over at BBTB2 the challenge this week is TBBM 3d challenge. You may remember  recently I made a Santa Box using this cartridge and thought it could be used equally for a snowman or penguin. On the school run a reindeer box thought came to me,so decided to make one for the challenge.

I couldn't wait to get home and make this! I think she turned out really well.

Recipe

TBBM - cake box cut at 5.5" and inked.

Doodlecharms - reindeer face cut at "2.5",inked.

Added glossy accents to her nose.

Wild Rose Studio for sentiment.

MS punch for branch

Have a great evening.

Santa Box

Hope your day is going great. I have had some playtime in my craft room this morning(my son is at Grandma and Grandad's). We are off camping tomorrow...yep,I said camping....not my favourite activity and it's pouring with rain!!! But we'll have fun anyhow. (No,that didn't sound convincing to me either,wonder if there's a B&B near the campsite?!) lol.

 Today I made a Santa gift box to enter over at My Craft Spot. The challenge this week is giftbags/boxes and you should see the amazing DT projects.

I love making boxes and bags and reached for my old favourite,Tags,Bags,Boxes and More. The triangle box was cut at 6",inked and assembled.

I then cut Santa(only the shift cut) at 1.75" from Doodlecharms. Discarded the hat as I used the box for that. Inked all edges,gems for eyes and flocked hat rim  and hat pompom.

Punched some holly and added gems and ribbon.

I really like how he turned out and he would be great hanging from the tree or as a table gift. Think this would work for  a snowman or penguin too. He was so quick and easy to make you could easily run up a batch of them.

Thanks for stopping by. Call back tomorrow for the winners of The Back to School blog candy.

Have a wonderful evening.

Mittens

Hello,how's your week been? Another busy one here! Hurray,it's the weekend!
I love making Christmas cards and thought I would make a project to enter over at BBTB2 . The challenge this week was to use the mittens cut on Joys of the Season. I was going to make a mitten shaped card but my gypsy was out of charge.
This (slightly demented looking) snowman with mitts is what I came up with...

I liked the 'Warm Wishes' sentiment:

 a) for the sentiment

                                  b)so inappropriate for a snowman! Lol!!

Lots of rock candy stickles,ink,glitter and glossy accents.

(Snowman - doodlecharms 4")

Thanks for looking,have a great Saturday. Back tomorrow with my milk carton obsession!

Party Hat Bag

Hi,Happy Saturday! Just a quick post before I head off to do my workshop. Over at Celebrate the Occasion challenge#18 is Birthday - must have a party hat. It's a great blog and they always have a fun challenge,so check out all the inspiring DT projects.  I made this gift bag a couple of days ago, esepcially with this challenge in mind but never managed to post it! Also decided to enter over at scrappy moms stamps challenge -Sweet Treats.
Seeing as we give loot bags out to take home after a party decided why not make it a 'thank-you' at the same time.

Party hat is from doodlecharms and 'thanks ' is fom mini monograms.

Hi,what another glorious morning,hope you all had a great weekend. We have been busy in the garden,power-washing everything. Fence painting today!
I would like to say thank-you to My Sheri Crafts for my second ooh la la award  and to Fantabulous cricut,where I had a design team top 5 finish. It really makes my day to know that you like what I make.Thanks so much.

Well,where do I start? I know my bunny is in the shade but it seemed appropriate as I was trying to get her hiding in the shadow of the tree after hiding her easter eggs!
I love how this card turned out,but I nearly gave up on it.....my new 'skill' was to make a stair step card,something I have never done before. Now,I'm not one for lots of measurements and I like to  throw something together,but after 1 failed attempt,I resorted to instructions!!(From Magnolia Ink -Easter magazine.)

Cricut cuts- Create a Critter -tree,embossed,sanded & inked -cut@4.75"
