Christmas Cards

Went out with some girlfriends last night and had a great time making some Stampin Up Christmas cards. We each made a total of 15 cards - three of each design.

Family Reunion

This layout was made using the sign from the Camp Out cricut cartridge. I used wood paper and just inked it to give it the old wood look! The svg file of the people silhouette can be downloaded here.

Here is a little pig that I made for some recipe cards that I am working on for a swap - hope the girls don't see him early! I couldn't wait to share him - he is just too darn cute! The svg file can be downloaded here!

Stamp Organization

Okay I love to have everything neat, uncluttered and organized. My wooden stamps were driving me crazy so I decided to do my second batch and get them off of the wooden blocks and prepared for acrylic blocks - besides the wood takes up way too much space. Digital stamps are looking more and more appealing at this point! LOL For those of you that are new to this, here is what you do.

1. Take all the stamps off the blocks and the foam that adheres them to it. Some may have to be microwaved for a few seconds because they may be pretty tight!

2. Get some EZ Mount Foam and put the stamp on the sticky side and cut out around it. Voila - they are now ready to be put unto acrylic blocks to be used.

3. I store mine in CD cases and label them. I make a sheet of paper and stamp the image on the top so I know what is in each one.

As you can see - they now take up a lot less space - Love it!

I finally finished my challenge that was due by Oct. 31. I had one day to spare - yeah! Here is what I came up with. I used the Life's a Beach Cricut cartridge to make the Anchors Away and I made a wave svg using one of the punches. You can download the wave border here.

I just made this cute little racoon picture hugger. I have tweeked this thing numerous times and I think it turned out adorable. Hope you enjoy! The file can be downloaded here.

Just a quick thank you card I made for my son's new basketball coach. Just wanted to thank him for all his hard work and time that he spends with the kids! I used the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge for the basketball.
