Santa Baby and a Freebie

Happy Monday!

Operation "finish making or buy all Christmas presents" (see Friday's post here, if your confused by the prior sentence), is moving along smoothly! I think I am right on track to meet my goal. Yay me! 

Anywhoo... enough about me... let's get to today's project and the freebie, shall we? First off my fabulous guest designer is my friend, Saundra. She has created the cutest card with today's freebie!

 Isn't Saundra's card darling?

I made a card too.

 

The card measures 4.25" x 4.5", my kitty was cut at 3.25" tall, the tag was cut at 4"wide. I placed it on my card and them cut the top section off with an exacto knife. Then I attached the twine, the tag, and the kitty

Happy Friday!

So operation "finish making or buy all Christmas presents" starts tomorrow. I am so behind this year, but I am determined to get everything finished in the next 7 days. My goal is to have all presents wrapped and delivered by next weekend, so that I can enjoy spending time with my family on Christmas Eve and Christmas. I will let you know how it goes... :)

I have a fun shaped card for you today.

Gingy's seem to the the "thing"this year. There are a ton of super cute gingerbread people svg's out there. I especially loved this set by Scrapping Bug Designs. I though that this angel would make a darling shaped card. I love how she turned out. I sized her at 4.8" tall, created a shadow layer of .1600 around her, and then welded two of them together to form the base of the card. Her eye's and nose were part of the file, her mouth is a retired Peachy Keen stamp, it was part of a face on a gingerbread face.

Papers: PaperTrey Ink & Core'dinations
Gingy Angel SVG: Scrapping Bug Designs, Heavenly Christmas

Everything was designed in Make-the-Cut and cut out in my Shilouette SD.

I hope you have a wonderful day and an equally wonderful weekend!

12 Day's of Christmas - Day 9

Happy Sunday!

Welcome to day 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas! I have really fun card for you today and, of course, another freebie file. I saw the idea for this card a couple weeks ago on Brigit's blog. I also watched Dawn's tutorial video and decided to make a cutting file, one with a circle window and one square window.  Brigit also shares her file, with the oval window, here.

I left my card really simple, because my paper was so busy. There are so many possibilities with card, I can't wait to share a few more ideas that I have. It looks so pretty in person.

If you haven't figured it out yet, there is a battery operated tea light behind the vellum window. (Please only use battery operated tea lights, the real kind will set fire to your card.)   You can also color the stamp in with markers or colored pencils, color it on the back though, so the color is more subtle. 

Papers: Recollections
Vellum: Staples
Tea Light Pop-Up Card File - Freebie (See below)
Sentiment Stamp: My Creative Time, From Our Family to Yours

Here is a video tutorial showing how to make the card.

You do not need my file or a machine to make this card. Watch Dawn's video to learn how to make it with a paper trimmer and punches, here.

12 Day's of Christmas - Day 8

Happy Saturday!

Welcome to the 8th day of the 12 Day's of Christmas on the MCT blog. I can't believe that we only have 4 days left! 

Today's project is a fun treat envelope that holds a pouch of hot cocoa. 

I found this really fun file on My Scrap Chick.com.  I love how it turned out, the only thing I wish I would have done was to add a candy cane in the pocket with the hot chocolate. Otherwise, I love how it turned out.

12 Day's of Christmas - Day 6

Happy Thursday!

Welcome to day six of My Creative Time's, "12 Days of Christmas".  Today's project is a fun mini magnet calendar. In the last couple months or so I have started seeing projects with these cute little calendars.  I had signed up to sell my crafts, at a craft fair, the weekend after Thanksgiving and I thought a small calendar gift might be a good seller. Boy... was I right! My little calendars were a HUGE hit and they were gone in less then 2 hours. If I would have had my crafty stuff with me, I would have sat there and made more. I did end up taking orders, so it all worked out. :)

I thought I would share them with you.

I think this one is my favorite, but I like bright colors and the 3-d effect of the flower.

The calendar is a little bigger on this one, so it is easier to see. I sold more of these, I'm sure it had to do with the calendar's size. Plus once your finished with the calendar you can pull everything off and you will still have the frame.
