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.

Embossed Christmas Card

I created this quick Christmas card useing the Cuttlebug "Textile" embossing folder halfway on 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" gold cardstock.
I used my "Very Merry Tags" Cricut cartridge for the first time... waahoo! I cut the Joy tag out at 3 1/2" twice once on gold cardstock (used only the "joy" words) then again on using DCWV Holiday Collection Glitter Matstack (on sale from Joann's) Using the stencil of "Joy" not the letters. Place the gold "joy" into the red glitter "joy" stencil.
I also cut out the plain oval to back behind my tag. Added gold ribbon then backed the card with red cardstock.
