Give Thanks

Greetings!

Here's is another project made entirely from my stash.

It's a kit that I created for some friends... since I create most of these kits from stash, I only make a handful of them. The papers used are from DCWV and cardstock.

The Cricut cartridges I used were Autumn Celebrations (Cornucopia), Elegant Edges (large label shape), Art Philosophy (tags), MS Seasonal Cake Art (Title).

Here's a secret:  The brown shadow of the large label shape is not whole... I cut the base of the cornucopia and the shadow of the title in the center of the label shape shadow to conserve paper! You'd never know because the top green layer of the large label shape hides the hole left by cutting those out. :) 

Thanks for stopping by!

Winter Holiday Cards

So, I've been trying to make our winter holiday cards for the last few years. I try to make a "simple" design in the hopes I get them done quick, but gluing these together took a while so they weren't as simple as I'd wanted. lol

This year I also wanted to stick to using only my stash, which meant that I had to find enough cardstock of each color to make the cut top layer, and another layer for one of the mats. Fortunately, I found enough cool blues and purples to make these. A few of these colors may be non-traditional but hey... I managed to not buy a thing! :)  I still need to do something with the insides, probably a stamped sentiment. But at least I got 40 of these done and I can finish up the stamping this weekend.

These cards were created by welding snowflakes and a sentiment from several cartridges into a rectangle frame that I sized to fit a card that would fit into a regular size #10 business envelope. See below for the cartridges used!
