Next, I made some of
my mother’s Christmas cards. They are as
follows:
The first card is a snowflake of
Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus in blue cardstock.
The second layer is glitter paper by DCWV (Die Cuts with a View). The third layer of patterned paper actually
came from the Cricut Imagine (for those of you not keeping track, yes I finally
got one). The paper print comes from one
of the newer carts, Enjoy the Season.
BTW, the Snowflake was cut out with the E2 using last year’s cart, “When
It’s Cold Outside”. “Jesus is the reason
for the season” is stamped on the inside.
(In fact all of them are like that)
The next card was
actually scraplifted. I took the idea
from the DCWV blog entry I saw on Facebook.
I did it because I have the stack, which is called Christmas &
Winter 180 Stack I got at Joanne’s. The
Ornament on top is from another paper company called the Paper Adventures, and
the paper name is (Giggle) Christmas balls.
(You have no idea what I am thinking right now and I will not tell you
in case children are reading this post-trying to keep it “G”). Anyway, the card blank is “8.5 x “11 cut in
half, and folded. As noted before, the
inside is the same as the first.
OK, who said that the
die cut on the card has to be something Christmassy? I decided to preview the next holiday to come
in Christmas papers. Again this is
scraplifted (I forgot where. I think it
was from an email I received that week.)
Anyway, the card is a premade blank (meaning someone or some company made
it besides me), I bought the pack for the envelopes anyway. Why not use them? Cut two sheets of 12 x 12 into 6 manageable pieces
(the old “eat the elephant one bit at a time” trick works for scrapbooking too),
and adhere the red on the card blank. Cut
the green sheet down to layer on top of the red pattern paper. I cut out the heart with the E1 Cricut
machine (original expression). Inside is
the same as the other two sets. 
The last
set of cards is super simple. Take glitter
paper cut into a circle. Take any 3-d
sticker (I used ornaments from K and Co. Make an arrangement. I scraplifted this one too, but I
scraplifted myself for this card. I
made it better than the one I made two years ago (Picture in a moment). In that card, I cut out three circles, and
hung them from three pieces of cord. I
cannot remember much more than that. (continued part 3)...
