Christmas is such an AMAZING time of year and it is just about upon us! I decided to start making cards to sell in my Etsy shop that I just opened. This is the first of many cards that I hope to make for the shop.



It is made with the Joys of the Season cart for the pointsettias and Accent Essentials for the scallop border and cirlces. I used lots of stickles and my glitter pen. This card is super thick (tons of layers of cardstock)! TFL!

I joined a swap on the Cricut MB for the 13 days of Halloween. My contribution is "8 Moaning Mummies". I can't wait to see the whole book put together. It is a 6x6 page and I have to do 17 of the same exact page. And then I will get back my page, plus 16 other pages to make the whole book. I am planning on turning it into a chipboard book and put pics of my kids trick-or-treating in it from this year.

The mummy is from Paper Dolls, cut at 3". The "8" is cut is from All Mixed Up, cut at 1 1/2". The "Moaning Mummies" is Cuttin' Up. I did it in Design Studio, welded it and then shrank to the size I wanted. The green background paper shape is Accent Essentials. I also sized this on DS. The ribbon is from Michael's. I used my glitter pen around the mummy and on the lettering. Although it shows up much brighter on the picture than it does on the actual paper. I used orange stickles on the "8". I used orange and charcoal Cat's Eye chalk on the mummy. The "Moaning Mummies" paper is last year's DCWV Fall Stack. I think the green patterned paper is Karen Foster. The green cardstock is just what I used as a background to take the photo on. TFL.

This is my entry for the Cricut Message Board Demonstrator Survey. I had a lot of fun making it and I really like how it came out. I was going to just try to make a nice card and I really couldn't get inspired. But, then I decided to make it for a friend and it all came to me at once. It is so much easier to make a card when there is some "love" behind it.
I mainly used Storybook. I also used Jasmine for the corner and Accent Essentials for the Scallop Border accross the middle. Let me know what you think.
