Polar snow card

So I have titled or put a sentiment on this - still thinking ...
Created this card for a couple challenge - one is via the layout at Get Sketchy which I turned 90 degrees to the left

and the G Glitz challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge
the polar bear was cut from Joy Of The Season's Cricut cartridge

A is for Angels

Even though I missed the A challenge at the ABC Christmas Challenge blog I still wanted to get in the mode of creating a Christmas Card every week.

The angel is cut from A Joy of The Season Cricut cart, I colored with my markers, added glitter to the wings, and inked the edges with a brown ink pad.
The background is the music folder by Cuttlebug, also inked.
The Music sheet is a printed Google image that I tea stained with Adirondack ink. I crumpled the paper to look old and put the angle on foam squares to raise it up some.

B is for Bells

At the ABC Christmas Blog.
I ran out of time for the "A for Angels" but I will still post it here later this weekend.

So - here is my B for Bells. I cut the bell from Joy of The Seasons Cricut Cartridge. Ran the bell through the Cuttlebug new folder. The sentiment is from StudioG Ribbon is from Stampin' Up

I made this with the Charisma Cardz challenge.

We could not use any backing paper on our project.

I started out with cream card stock, placed in the Cricut machine using Joy of the Season cartridge and cut the ornament card at 4 3/4".

I hand cut the green frame and lined the inside of the card with a deep red cs, which I rounded the corners.

The sentiment on the front is from Stampin' Up. I cleared glitter embossed it (hard to tell with the camera)

The awesome glitter on the ornament is Martha Stewart, take a look at the glitter - it is wonderful and does great coverage.

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - Challenge 31

This week at CSAYL Sankari's Challenge #31 - Out of the A2 Box! - 08-24-09

You are to make a non A2 card. So I went to my Cricut Joy of the Season cartridge and really wanted to do the train.... and I made it into an ornament card.

Four cuts and one stamping - a little glitter... and I came up with this.

1) Cut the stencil of a train at 5" (green - I cut off the hanger piece)

2) Cut the ornament foundation front card at 5" (black)

3) Cut the card (ornament) full foundation also in 5"

4) Cut Merry Christmas (only used Merry on the inside) at 3"

Sprinkled glitter on top of merry to look like snow.

Added glitter to the ornament hanger.

Stamped the sentiment from Stampin' Up on white and punched it out w/a 1" circle and pop dot it on the train.
