Christmas in July

For my FCCB wedding favour boxes click here.

Hello again,today I am so excited to be hosting the challenge over at BBTB2.
Instead of a specific cricut cut I went with a  theme.
The theme is 'Christmas in July'.
It's a great chance to get a head start on Christmas.

We would like to see your cricut made cards,layouts or 3D projects.
Here is what I came up with....


At Christmas we have our traditional tree full of ornaments lovingly collected over
the years and I have a little tree in my dining room full of papercrafted treats.
These will join them.One for each member of our household.

Here's a close up...

I used clear rock candy distress crackle paint and glossy accents.

All layered up and inked.

Recipe

TBBM2 - crackers cut and scored at 6"
If I had cut at 5.75" I would have got 2 crackers from one 12 x 12 paper!
Will remember that for next time!
Art Philosophy - tree & ornament cut at 2.5"
- holly at 2"
All multi cut and layered,I liked how the holly peeled with the crackle
paint!
DP - Tim Holtz kraft resist - Christmas Memories
Twine
Red seam binding from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces.
Hessian


I like how these turned out.The cardstock is glazed and I added some
distress ink colour to parts of them.
Just need to add a snap and game.
(We play lots of silly games - who am I? Dare,Forfeit etc!!)

I am also entering this over at Little Scrap pieces - Christmas in July.
My Craft Spot - Christmas in July - card or gift box

Do check out my fellow designers as they have lots more inspiration
for you. We love seeing your projects.

Snow Angel

How strange does that title sound especially given the fact our weather is so beautiful at the moment?!
Well,I don't know about you but although I make handmade cards I send very few of them at Christmas as I am always so busy making them for other people(and I adore making gift boxes and allsorts of christmassy  things...tree gifts,things for the table etc.),that I decided I should start earlier this year.
I found Diecut Dreams Christmas Club who hold a weekly challenge to make a christmas project.The theme this week is Christmas Angels/Fairies.You don't have to use a diecut but seeing how much I like my cricut,I had to!!
My son loves making snow angels,so I was drawn to this cut.

Hopefully this picture shows the dimension.
