Christmas in July -Challenge #19

Celebrate Christmas in July with us at Fantabulous Cricut

Challenge #19

Christmas in July:

Create a Christmas theme project, perhaps something to get ready for the upcoming holiday.

I created a gift package box using 12 x 12 cardstock, this box measures approx. 8" x 2".
The cricut cartridges that I used are Geroge and Basic Shapes, A Child's Year and Very Merry Tags.

I used my Cricut Design Studio, and George and Basic Shapes cartridge to cut out a window in my 12 x 12 patterned paper, then cut a brown rectangle that was just a tad bit smaller then the window. The kids from A Child's year pg. 57 fit inside the window.
Each of the 12" x 12" cardstock papers were scored at 2" from each edge.
I used a clear piece of plastic for the window.

The tree tag cut from Very Merry Tags cartridge was cut approx. 3" I added clear embossing powder to the top green layer to give is some shine.

Sister in Christ -From Designed 2 Delight

As a design team member for Designed 2 Delight we got to choose a few of our favorite digital images to create with. When I saw the "Sister In Christ" image I fell in love with her... it's a beautiful reminder to me that we are all sisters here on earth to support and uplift each other in all that we do.

This image is found at Designed 2 Delight under the "Angels and Fairies" category


Remember to check out the Delightful Inspiration blog -HERE, Faith, Designed 2 Delight's Artist, offers free digital images to those who play in her weekly challenges.

Herb Garden -Cardabilities Sketch #7

I got to play with my new cricut cartridge Freshly Picked. I love gardens, flower gardens, vegetable gardens and even orchards, I do have my own tiny vegetable garden although I don't have much of a green thumb, but I try.

At Cardabilites this week we created using sketch #7 to design a card.

I used my Design Studio to create this card, I made the scallop edges by welding images from George and Basic Shapes, Home Accent, and Home Decor cartridges. I have the cut file at the end of this post if you are interested in duplicating this card.
My little herb garden is from Freshly Picked cricut cartridge page 40 of the handbook. I love how it turned out.


This is sketch #7 that we got to create from.
Cardabilities shares two great sketches each month on the 15th and 30th, along with several ideas from the design team which I'm thrilled to be a part of. Go see more wonderfully creative ideas using sketch #7 -HERE
