Day twelve of Christmas Projects - A Christmas Story card

Okay, tell me the truth, can you tell that is a bar of soap? I am hoping you can tell it's a bar of Lifebuoy. It kind of looks like a red hot dog to me.

Thank you so much for stopping in today. I must admit I love making twelve Christmas projects every December and sharing them with all of you! Now that I am done and it's five days until Christmas I should wrap a gift or two...

Happy Holidays!

Day eleven of Christmas Projects - Get your Jingle on

Welcome to day eleven of Christmas projects!

Thanks for stopping in!

Day ten of Christmas Projects Waiting for Santa Claws

My sister and her husband have two sweet cats and I have always wanted to make them a cat Christmas card.

It is so easy to design cuts like this using the slice feature on the Cricut Explore. My best piece of advice when slicing is to do that action first before anything else on your Design Space and slice each item one at a time.

Day nine of Christmas Projects - vinyl pillow quote

I love this free svg that was shared on Facebook. I was excited to put it on a decorative pillow for the holidays. I even drove to IKEA to purchase the pillow and case (GURLI). As I was prepping, I thought to myself, maybe I should use regular 631 Oracal vinyl and then I can remove the quote after Christmas. **this was a dumb idea** I have used this type of vinyl on canvas before...

The vinyl would not adhere to the fabric. This beautiful pillow case will be a very temporary feature in my home.

Here is last year's vinyl project. I had no trouble with it.

I guess you win some, you lose some. Next time I will iron on HTV!

Day eight of Christmas projects - Clark Griswold's wagon as a gift tag

Maybe it's just me but when I saw this card, on my Design Space Access subscription, it really reminded me of the movie Christmas Vacation. I cut out all the layers, even added tires, but the card isn't very big. It's more of a tag. This awesome station wagon from the Cricut cartridge Crazy Cute Cards, would fit better in a business envelope than a card one.

"Is your house on fire Clark? No, Aunt Bethany, those are the Christmas lights."

Day seven of Christmas Projects - Candy Cane card

Welcome! Want to make a quick and easy card design? Use your Design Space and your Cricut Explore to weld two candy canes to form a heart.

So easy! So love-ly and sweet!

Day six of Christmas Projects - Stranger Things card

This is without a doubt the "strangest" card I have ever created. I like making trendy cards with themes of things people are talking about. If you watched the Netflix series Stranger Things, then you probably understand. Our family loved this series and can't wait for season two. I only made one of these cards for a fellow fan.

The inside reads, "Wishing you JOY this holiday season!"

Day five of Christmas Projects - vinyl ornament

Good day! I knew I wanted to made a puppy's first Christmas ornament for our 7 month old Chloe. I'm posting this project as she is recovering from her spay surgery on Monday. Poor girl has had a tough week with some side effects.

This ornament only took minutes to make and I love it! You will find me today cuddling our puppy.

Day four of Christmas Projects - Team Canada Mittens Card

Our family still loves our Team Canada mittens so I thought they would be cute on a holiday card.

This card was quick to put together so I think it will be one to mass produce. I used a sentiment that would be appropriate for all even those who do not celebrate Christmas.

Day three of Christmas projects - Merry Fitness

Welcome! Today's card is for the girls I work out with regularly. Love them and thought this funny sentiment would be perfect for the zumba ladies.

Merry Fitness and a Happy New Rear!

Day two of Christmas Projects - A shaker card

Hello and welcome! I love this funny sentiment as my neighbours enjoy drinking prosecco.

I confess, I watched a few YouTube videos to figure out how to create a shaker card and I played with the Design Space program to write the sentiment and slice out the champagne glass. I used tiny white beads to look like bubbles instead of sequins.

I think I'm hooked. I need to buy more foam tape!
See you Monday for Day Three of Christmas Projects!

Day one of Christmas Projects - Pikachu card

Welcome! I'm so happy to be making cards again this year!

This card is for my children's cousins. They are crazy for Pokemon Go. The card will have their Christmas gift inside.

I also made this Pokemon inspired Christmas card in July when everyone was gag over the app.

Please come back tomorrow. I will share my first ever shaker card. I have seen so many amazing ones posted that I had to try and create one.
