Christmas cards

Another simple card but this time I used the Cricut and Cuttlebug. The Santa sleigh was cut from the Christmas Solutions cartridge that was a free giveaway from Cricut last year. When I cut the sleigh, I did cut it to make a larger card but used the A2 size that I already had cut and embossed and so it extends past the card but I will put it in a larger envelope to mail. It was embossed with Swiss Dots folder and the yellow was from a folder that I bought at Pat Catans in the Darice brand name.
The houses were cut from Plantin Schoolbook and were also embossed. I did trim it also to fit this size of card but did like that it was the same size of the card.

The green card stock was very dark but that is what had matched the green in the paper best. It never shows up best in the pictures. It was cut from Tie the Knot. and embossed with a holly folder on the Cuttlebug. Added a strip of card stock of red polka dot paper that fits around and tied a ribbon over it and added a bow.

Using the Gypsy, the ornament was welded to a tag feature or you could just add this to a rectangle to fit in the pocket. The Peace and Joy was a purchased stamp using gold stamp pad.

A couple more simple cards. In the fall when I have my craft show, I have such limited time to spend on my Christmas cards but I always want to do different cards so simple is what I end doing to get them done in time.
This card was done with a few cuts from the Cricut but what makes the card is using the Cuttlebug. When I get a new cartridge, I usually cut a few things and then put them aside for future use. This is what happened with this card so that I don't remember what cartridge they were from. The Joy was cut from A Child's Year. Just added a bow and a stone to dot the j. On this second card, the paper was the feature, The Noel was cut from the Christmas cartridge. Everything was sized in the Gypsy so that it would fit on a card size. A little ribbon and a stone in the center was all the other extras.

I have had trouble posting more Christmas cards for the last several days, so hopefully this will work today. Two cards that I couldn't post earlier.

This card was made with the solutions cartridge that was a free download for buying the Gypsy with an offer from Cricut last year. Simple tree cut from this Christmas cartridge using a gold paper and the put on a green paper and just cut the shape around it using my rotary cutter. The stripe paper is from Hobby Lobby. Added stones to the top and the curly parts of the tree.

Bow added to the bottom.The angel and noel is also cut from the same cartridge in the same gold paper and run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss dots folder. Had some gold brads and used the to put the rectangle on the white card stock.

As with these two cards, you can make them any size to go with the envelopes and paper in your stash.
