Christmas card to mass produce - day 11

Yikes, I guess I fell off the blogging Earth last week. It was just one of "those" weeks but I'm happy to say this week is already much better.

The hubs asked me to make 30 cards for him to give to co-workers. I wanted to make a card that could apply to anyone one celebrating this holiday season. (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa etc.) It also had to be easy to create multiples of. Fussy Cricut cuts were definitely out of the question.

I love how all 30 turned out!

Day 3 of Holiday inspiration - angry birds cards

I love making fun Christmas cards! Christmas cards are a super way to get my crafting mojo back. My Gypsy is a great tool to create anything out of paper. Soo, this year I wanted to make some angry birds.

To create this card, I used the following Cricut cartridges - George and Basic Shapes, Christmas Cheer and Smiley Cards. Here is a screen shot of my Gypsy to give you an idea of how I design and cut.

I figured the birds could be knocking down Christmas trees. To make the trees, I just welded them together in a pyramid so I did not need to glue each individual one. I wanted to do the same thing with the eyeballs to make glueing faster as I knew I wanted to make at least 24 of them.

So, that is card design number one for me this year.

Be sure to come back tomorrow to check out card design number two. As of this this moment, I have 35 cards made. I am hoping to churn out another 20, and of course, post them here. *eek*

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July

I just had to try this challenge at Fantabulous Cricut. I believe I am cutting it close with only a few minutes to spare.



Christmas Cheer is the first cartridge I ever owned. I actually bought it to use in my friend's Cricut three years ago. Now with my own Cricut and Gypsy I can make Christmas shape cards! Okay I admit, I'm a tiny bit addicted to shape cards these days. I think it's because I can finally weld things.. and I just love them.
