Final Christmas Card

This is the card that hubby and I decided on for this year. This card has the sentiment printed with my Cricut using Cri-kit pens but that didn't work so well as the gel pens don't like the printed paper very much.

I just printed "merry christmas" on the paper with my printer, cut the tree and star with my Cricut and punched the christmas balls with a small hole punch.

You can't see it in the picture very well but the tree, star and christmas balls are all done with glitter paper.

Simple but we like it!

More Christmas cards

Here are three more "trial" cards. The santa card started out as a gift tag that was a free make and take at the last scrapbook convention.

The nativity is actually one of the free fonts that I've gotten from dafonts.com

I really like the christmas tree but hubby said "no". It took him too long to realize it said Merry Christmas.

Oh, well, back to the drawing board.

Christmas Cards

Well, once again I've fallen behind in keeping this blog current! I've also fallen behind in figuring out what to do about Christmas cards.

Here is the start of what will (hopefully) be a short process and I counting on the card-making muse to visit my house and inspire me!

All of these were cut with my Cricut using Sure Cuts a Lot software.

For the tree I used my Cri-Kuts gel pens in my Cricut and then cut the tree out.

These were all pretty easy but not really what I was looking for. Guess I'll have to keep trying!

SVG Files

Well, I really love my new Sure Cuts A Lot but have discovered a sad, sad fact. I have no designing talent!

But I am pretty good at searching out the people who are. My latest find is an extremely talented lady from Sweden.

If you are in need of some new files to cut be sure to check out her website.

She has some really beautiful frames to download, among other things.
