Reindeer Joy Christmas Card

This card was totally inspired by Unity Stamps Winter Cheer and Deer stamp set. I love the set and was going to pick it up but I have so many sets I haven't even used yet that I couldn't justify buying more at this time so I created this deer from one I had from the Silhouette Design Store. Just a little stretching, shape adding and point editing and this is the outcome, very happy with it.

Cloche Christmas Card - Silhouette Design Store

Hello, I love Concord and 9th's new Christmas Cloche Dies and the wonderful cards that the design team created with it. I almost bought it but I have so many dies that I haven't even used yet that I could not justify buying more. So I looked through the Silhouette Design Store which I have a monthly subscription and found the layered cloche snowglobe. I just adjusted it a little to add the things I liked about the Concord and 9th one, like the knob on top and some snow on the bottom. I can't remember which tree I used but Silhouette Design Store has so many to choose from the same with the bow and greenery. I really love the merry font used in the die set and the closest one I had was the family farmhouse script which I love, you can get that from the Store also. I had so much fun looking for cut files I could use to create this card!

Popsicle Gift Boxes - Scrap Diva Designs

I saw this adorable popsicle gift box die on youtube from Scrap Diva Designs and just had to have it. I knew I wanted to make a pumpkin and Frankenstein so I picked up the Jack-o-lantern Girl Face die which fits nicely, and the Halloween Stamp and Die set. I thought of the Gingerbread afterward, I think the gingerbread face die at the shop would look cute, for this one I just used some peachy keen face stamps I had with some circle punches which I also used for Frankentein's eyes.

Below you can see the inside of one of the boxes, it just slides out, so cute and very easy to assemble. There is a die for the stick too but I just used popsicle sticks I had and hot glued them in place. These were so much fun to put together.

Santa Label & Gift Bag - Lori Whitlock Creative Team Project

Hello everyone! I don’t always have the time to put together a bunch of Christmas tags so print and cut really comes in handy for me and these adorable Lori Whitlock Santa Labels (SVG, Silhouette) are going on all my grandchildren’s packages. I also needed a small gift bag so I cut out the Gift Bag 2 (SVG, Silhouette) and made this super simple and quick gift package!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Lori Whitlock December 2021 Creative Team Blog Hop - Hot Cocoa and Cookies

Hello Everyone, welcome to our Blog Hop! Today I have a cute project to share using one of the new 3D Hot Cocoa Mugs, I used the plain one here (SVG, Silhouette) but there is a bunch of different designs you can get individually or in a bundle at Lori's shop here. I also used the 3D Cookies for Santa file (SVG, Silhouette). For the sign I enlarged it so I could use the Menu from Echo Park's Christmas Magic Collection, the paper and elements I used here are all from that collection.

I cut the cookies on my Silhouette Cameo 4 from white fun foam which I inked and used white and red glitter, they really look like real cookies so cute!

I didn't use the whipped cream for the top of the mug, I made marshmallows out of clay and added steam using vellum from another of Lori's files, Hot Cocoa, (SVG, Silhouette). I also used the Christmas Tree Swirl to look like a froth design on top, (SVG, Silhouette). The mug can be filled with some treats to make a nice gift, I'm going to add it to my tiered tray.

Hello everyone!! Here's a project I created using one of Lori Whitlock's new sleigh box cards that she came out with recently, not only are they adorable they are super simple to put together. I made the sleigh poinsettia (SVG, Silhouette) one and used paper and a couple of stickers from the lovely The First Noel Collection by Echo Park.

Christmas in July - Tags

Hello All, I'm so happy to be back crafting again, I've cleared up my craft room and organized my supplies so I'm ready to make some fun projects again. Today is the last day of July and I wanted to get something done for Christmas in July and I always need a ton of tags for Christmas so that's what I made. These tags are from Lori Whitlock's shop, they are super simple to put together. 

 The tags I used are the Christmas Tag Snowman, Santa Claus, Polar Bear, and Penguin, so super cute for the kids.

Christmas Tree Card - Spellbinders

I can't believe how quickly the summer is flying by, next thing you know the kids will be back in school. I really haven't worked too much on craft projects this summer, but I did want to get at least one Christmas in July project accomplished. I used Spellbinder's June Small Die of the Month to create a Christmas tree along with some embellishments from the November 2018 Card Kit of the Month. There are so many things you can do with these dies, I think my next will be a try at a peacock.

Box Card Christmas Tree - Lori Whitlock Creative Team

I put together a tutorial on how I put this adorable Box Card Christmas Truck together over on Lori Whitlock's Blog here. I used Cricut Design Space and my Cricit Maker to cut this out but you can also get this file here at the  Silhouette Design Store.

I added some snow to the tree and a Santa from Doodlebug's Christmas Town mini icon sticker sheet. Patterned paper is Doodlebug's ladybug and limeade dot-stripe petite prints.

Christmas Town Gift Set - Doodlebug Design Team Project

Here's a little Doodlebug Design's Christmas Town gift set for that special someone who brings you joy and happiness, that Santa in your life. You can fill the mini container with some treats or even a small gift, such a cute way to receive something.

I used a Spellbinders die from the December large die kit to make the card, I love how the special delivery circle from the this and that sticker sheet fit right in there perfectly. The mini can be bought online from here, these are so fun and easy to decorate.

For the card, I used the front and back of the candy cane lane 12 x 12 sheet and the snowflake border from the 12 x 12 berry Christmas. I embellished the card with some pieces from the odds & ends, chit chat and some ladybug and lily white sequins. The card base was cut from lily white textured cardstock.

I cut a piece of 12 x 12 snow days paper 2 5/8" x 10" to wrap the can and matted the border from the berry Christmas sheet on a strip of swimming pool dot-stripe petite print. On the top of the can I used a sticker from the this and that sticker sheet and I added a couple of snowflakes from the festive flurries sprinkles, a tag from the chit chat pack and some bon bon doodle twine. This was such a fun project to make!

Noel Banner - Doodlebug Design Team Project

I've been busy getting my Christmas decorations up and needed a little something on a small section of wall and thought a cute Doodlebug Design Christmas Town Noel banner would be perfect!

To create the banner I used the Christmas town cut file tree with snow file from Lori Whitlock's shop, you can also get these files from the Silhouette Design Store.

For the cardstock I used 12 x 12 sheets of ho ho ho, christmas cookies, snow much fun and lily white textured for the bottom layer.

I decorated the trees with some christmas town odds and ends and christmas assortment sprinkles.

I added some lily white chunky sugar coating glitter to the snow caps on the trees.

For the noel letters I used the lily white skinny cs stickers, I also added some limeade chunky twine bows on each end of the banner.
