Christmas Cards

Good Morning!  I decided to take a couple minutes while I sit by my beautifully lit Christmas tree with my puppy (and before the kiddos are up) to put together a blog about some fun Christmas cards.

These are using the Deck the Halls Cut Above card kit.  What I really like about Cut Above is you get the card bases and supplies to make 10 cards in one handy dandy little kit.  All you will need to purchase additionally is the sentiment.  There are a couple sentiments to choose from (I would recommend also taking a look at your own stash of ones on hand!)

I used the Merry Christmas M size stamp.  At $2.95 this is a great bargain and I know it will be used over and over!  I added the silver shimmer trim to each card to make the string stay at the top and I felt like it gave me a cleaner edge.

This card is the more traditional one that came as an example with the card kit:

This one is me mixing it up a little bit:

Have a great day!  Thank you for stopping by!

White Pines Advent Calendar

I'm super excited to share this advent calendar with you. It was so much fun to make and I'm very excited with how it turned out.

The My Creations Cubby is absolutely perfect!  It's on sale right now for $10.20! That's more than $6 off the regular price.

I'm using the White Pines paper packet.  The little boxes are made using the Cricut Artiste Collection - page 80 - 3D Objects and cut at 2 1/2 inches.  Once you make the first couple boxes you will be able to bust through the rest.

The snowflakes were cut from the Cricut Artistry Collection - page 49 at 2 inches.

I used Cranberry and Chocolate Exclusive Inks because I liked the way they stood out against the Colonial White cardstock. 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
