Here is an extremely easy card that could be switched up for many different occasions. I happened to use it as a birthday card. With the exception of the "Happy Birthday" sentiment and the Stickles everything used to make this card was from Stampin' Up!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="mobile-photo">
This card was so quick and simple to make! I actually modeled it after a pair of swimming trunks of my husby's. I loved the color combo and thought it would make a great card for a man (something I frequently struggle with). The paper is all SU! paper. I used versamark and white embossing powder for the happy birthday sentiment (don't know the stamp maker). I embellished with a piece of ribbon and 3 blue Jolee's Swarovski hotfix gems. That's it! Simple, right?!</div>

I purchased a set of four 6 x 6 canvas frames and chose four pictures from the newborn session photos taken by the baby's other grandmother (who is an amazingly talented photographer!). I printed the photos onto tissue paper, applied a layer of Mod Podge to the blank canvas, applied the tissue paper and aonther layer of Mod Podge. I didn't worry about the bumps, ripples and small tears in the tissue paper because I wanted it to have a hint of a vintage/distressed look. I painted the sides with black acrylic paint hitting the edges ever so lightly to maintain the integrity of the look I was going for. I allowed that to dry for 48 hours and cut some vinyl lettering using my Silhouette Cameo (font used is Typewriter), applied it using clear contact paper to ensure it was centered and applied another layer of Mod Podge. It was so easy and I totally love how they turned out. I can't wait to give them to her; I just hope she likes them as much as I do, hahaha!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I gave her this card a couple of weeks ago since I wasn't sure how long it was going to take me to get the present done. I made the card with my Cricut and used Nate's ABC's (dog, ball, wagon), 3 Birds - Life's a Party (giraffe), Simply Sweet ("baby boy"), 3 Birds - Straight from the Nest ("welcome" - I cut off to the nest). The inside sentiment was stamped using Stampin' Up's stamp set titled God's Blessings and it read "A baby is a gift from heaven above - bringing joy down to earth, filling hearts full of love." I used Silver Liquid Pearls for the wagon wheels, striping and handle. I used Cinnamon Stickles for the giraffe eyes and nostrils as well as the dog's nose.</div>

I do love their products, but I have grown rather frustrated with them over the last year. I have been seeing a lot of people move to the Silhouette Cameo and they seem to rave about it. Well, for whatever reason I decided to just do a search on it today and darn if I didn't find a deal I couldn't pass up!!! I found it on Overstock.com (see pics)...<br />

Would you be able to pass up this deal? I mean look at all those bonus items! The additional $25 card alone made it worth it. So, I guess I need to start watching videos on how to use it, LOL! I know Jin from Under a Cherry Tree does some, so I will be visiting her blog a lot real soon. Do any of you have any other blog suggestions to help me learn the Silhouette? </div>

I haven't forgotten my hobby...I long for it all the time, but life just gets in the way sometimes!<br />
<br />
I really wanted to test adding a pin it button to my blog so I was looking for something I could post, when I remember this beauty of a card that I made for Christmas last year. I cannot take credit for the design of this beautiful Christmas card, only for making it myself. This creation is from one of the uber talented ladies that design for Papertrey Ink. The stamps used are all from the Nativity Silhouettes stamp set. I used Art Philosophy for the notched edge layered cuts. Enjoy, and if you like it Pin it!! <br />

Welcome to the Winter/Christmas Themed Blog Hop celebrating our favorite time of the year. This Blog Hop is hosted by Paulette, from Around the Bock with Scrapalette. If you are following along with the Hop you should have arrived from Blingdazzler’s blog. If not, you can start at the beginning of the hop at <a href="http://scrapalette.blogspot.com/">http://scrapalette.blogspot.com</a> <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="WordSection1"><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Paulette and I will be following along with the blog hop from the Cricut Circle event in Greenville SC!! My projects for today are serving dual purpose! For those of you in the Circle you may know that these events for the Circlets typically include a theme, a swap and a contest. Luckily for me the theme of today’s blog hop is also the theme for the Circle event (love killing two birds with one stone– YIPEE!!). For information about joining the Cricut Circle please visit www.Cricut.com. Now that all that stuff is out of the way…let’s get to the real reason you are here J!!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
My first project for the hop is a simple card that will fit not only Christmas but Winter too. It is the card I am entering into the contest at the Circle event. I love the way it turned out. I think this is going to be my stock Christmas card this year. It was soooooo easy to put together, but yet I think it is simply stunning (maybe I am biased heeheehee). I may decide to change it up a bit too…maybe a nativity scene, or a silhouette of an ice skater??? Who knows!! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKbcQwuENH8mECaxSygwsJ6RqFM7IuRHB48t9nq7zF6XP2LveAw8Qes3KLssupZUxd1WYNMdHBhUd9Q3DSMIc3N051M8YeEpWM3UMa85aSvSSR4BV7_90JgzOF_X9-Y7GsI5OkjB-xTZs/s1600/011-791256.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670272052181565298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKbcQwuENH8mECaxSygwsJ6RqFM7IuRHB48t9nq7zF6XP2LveAw8Qes3KLssupZUxd1WYNMdHBhUd9Q3DSMIc3N051M8YeEpWM3UMa85aSvSSR4BV7_90JgzOF_X9-Y7GsI5OkjB-xTZs/s320/011-791256.JPG" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I designed this with my Gypsy. First I opened a template I had created for a 4.25” x 5.50” landscape card. This gives me a base to work from in making sure I have everything sized the way I want it. There are three layers to the scene to give it the depth. I started with the snowy hill from the Christmas cartridge. I then welded a base using the square (resized) from George and Basic Shapes. Then I added the Pine from Don Juan as well as several sets of the bare trees from Campin’ Critters, using the hide contour feature to space/organize the trees the way I wanted. Next I began to add the animals; I wanted the deer family from Wildlife to be the main focus, then I placed the rabbit from Celebrate with Flourish and the squirrel from Live Simply (again using hide contour on both to avoid cutting the extras). After I had my scene the way I thought I wanted it I copied it two times and then began to delete the items I didn’t want for each specific layer. I welded and grouped the items on each layer and would occasionally place the layers back on top of one another to make sure I was getting everything I wanted in the right place. Once I was satisfied I made my cuts. Oh, in efforts to avoid wasting so much paper I flipped one of the layers down and moved the layers around so they would cut on one 8 ½ x 11 piece of cardstock (save the paper from the mat to use later on in the project). <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I used my zig two way glue pen to strategically place glue in the tree bends and on the ground where snow would lay and sprinkled with PK Glitz glitter. I scored my card base and began by adhering the base layer directly to the cardstock with my ATG gun. I then added 1/16” 3D-Dots and attached the next layer carefully lining everything up and repeated with the top layer. Then I used the leftovers from the Cricut cuts, and cut a piece to 5.5” by whatever I had to stamp my sentiment using Stampin’ Up’s Heard from the Heart “welcome Christmas into your heart” in basic gray. I then carefully tore the paper to add another layer element, added a line of glue and sprinkled with PK Glitz glitter. I attached directly to the top layer with my ATG gun. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6rv9qz1lMY-Thw27g9B1Uer3UMHx2wLK4yLaOT4R2BH9KgS-Qxo6wHu-heHfdqDnPxhoYzHyqX1pvIVTRISZlTtshTq85bHwdwTZi3KF_b1iQwmFuRv1sDR7NAAWABmJaTOF8T6Y0qIU/s1600/022-792652.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670272058125092242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6rv9qz1lMY-Thw27g9B1Uer3UMHx2wLK4yLaOT4R2BH9KgS-Qxo6wHu-heHfdqDnPxhoYzHyqX1pvIVTRISZlTtshTq85bHwdwTZi3KF_b1iQwmFuRv1sDR7NAAWABmJaTOF8T6Y0qIU/s320/022-792652.JPG" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">On the inside (not shown-sorry!) I cut down a piece of white cardstock and stamped my sentiment using Stampin’ Up’s God’s Blessings “May the miracle of Christmas find you Safe in the Peace of God, warm in the Light of Christ.” I find this sentiment just beautiful! While I respect the beliefs of others, I am a Christian and believe that there is no Christmas without Christ. That is it. The hardest thing about this card is the design. Now that I have that out of the way I am excited about getting these made so I can mail them out after Thanksgiving. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq-ppKIve0YvUHR_wKS2X9b84w0T3BWlB9ir4Gzz-A5d970_TUumZejIjYEaF59PNL3VZ1_7Xwzac_VqmSYKy4XYkoVasQmwcTAN6VM40GLkkd0PJcVzpxFR1fvYw2Q_I7O6tmwccnD04/s1600/019-791954.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670272054025461138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq-ppKIve0YvUHR_wKS2X9b84w0T3BWlB9ir4Gzz-A5d970_TUumZejIjYEaF59PNL3VZ1_7Xwzac_VqmSYKy4XYkoVasQmwcTAN6VM40GLkkd0PJcVzpxFR1fvYw2Q_I7O6tmwccnD04/s320/019-791954.JPG" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

On another layer I was able to add more of the shift layers, which was ok because I wanted all of the mitten “cuffs” to be vanilla for visibility on who the gift is to and from (I despise those sticker tags that are so dark sometimes you can’t find a pen that shows up or you can’t read when you are handing out presents!). I cut the mittens in various colors, then cut the cuffs in vanilla. I was careful to keep the cuffs for the left mittens together and the cuffs for the right mittens together…this way I knew which stamp should be used on them (to: stamped on the left cuff and from: stamped on the right cuff). Using the ink color coordinating with the mittens, I stamped the to: and from: onto the cuffs and attached them to the mitten using the ATG gun. I then stamped the snowflakes on the mittens; on the Cherry Cobbler mittens I used the Staz-on ink; on the Baja Breeze and Certainly Celery I used the coordinating ink. Next I used my Crop-a-dile to punch holes for my yarn. I used the smaller hole punch and placed the mitten set together by putting them face to face and lining up the thumb then punching the hole as close to the bottom and edge under the thumb as I could. I simply inserted the yarn, tied a simple knot and cut the excess off! That’s it!! Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I really like to make stuff to give away to co-workers and to my church family. Once I ran across these beautiful handmade ornaments (tutorial can be found <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/doubleballornament/">HERE</a>) and realized how VERY affordable they were I jumped right on it. Of course Stampin’ Up no longer sells the kit that is mentioned in the tutorial, so I had to improvise. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">For all the materials listed above (excluding the hole puncher, which I already had) I spent less than $25.00; the paper was on sale for 40% off and I used one 40% off coupon for the rest of the stuff! I can make at least 100 of these ornaments with this stuff! The 3” eye pins come in packages of 50, I bought 2. I found a package of 750 pearls and a package of 175 crystal gems. The earring backs contained 325. I am going to have plenty of supplies to make even more than 100, I would just need to buy more eye pins. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I have really been wanting to make the backpack from Campin Critters; its boyish, so I thought why not give it a shot! He loved it (and especially the money I stuffed inside it, hehehehe). I also noticed when I visited him a few weeks prior to his birthday that he had drawn his name on some cardstock and cut them out and had them posted on his door. So, I cut his name out of the Varsity Letters cart and give them to him. He thought they were really cool and now I have to make some for my niece's birthday (to be 7 year old) that is just around the corner. Guess I'd better get to work LOL! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I have this clear storage tote that I keep either test projects or projects I have made but don’t really know what to do with. This was my first attempt at a mini album and it is actually from a couple of years ago. Some of you may remember Bugjunkie; well, she inspired the idea and had a tutorial on her blog on how to create these mini albums in Design Studio. At the time I didn’t have a binding machine (I now have two that I have STILL never used – probably need to work on that huh?) so I had it bound at a local printing shop so I didn’t really have much of a say in the binding. Anyway, a month or so ago a good friend of mine was over trying to convince me to participate in a holiday sale. I pulled the box down to see what I had that I could sell and when I pulled the book out she went nuts for it and wanted to buy it. I hadn’t even taken pictures, so I told her that I needed to take pictures and she could have it. She asked me to teach her how to make one, so I told her to save some cereal boxes and then we could spend a day making mini albums. Every time I have seen her since she tells me she won’t let her husby throw away any cereal boxes LOL! I can’t wait to do this with her…I love spending time with her!!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

While there I had some spa sock cupcakes left over from last Christmas to sell. They were the socks that didn’t really go with the Christmas colors so I figured they would be useful to give as birthday gifts. Then, of course I forgot about them until I pulled them out of my project tote. Although we didn’t have a great turnout, I was able to sell all but one of the spa sock cupcakes. BUT, I had a request for a special order!! She paid me in advance and asked if I could find a set of purple socks and a set of green socks and make them for her granddaughters. One of the granddaughters loves purple, and the other loves frogs. Well I couldn’t find green socks, but I thought, hey, I can buy any color and then make the cupcake wrapper green and add a frog! So I did. Here is what I came up with. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how this turned out. I just wish pictures did it justice. I tried so many different ways to take them and it is just so hard to capture the beauty of it. I hope you can get the idea. I bought this lantern on clearance well over a year ago and with the intention of etching the glass sides, but I just never seemed to find the time. I was finally “forced” into getting it done when a fellow crafter asked me to come to a holiday sale she was holding for the local Senior Community Center. I told her I didn’t really make things to sell, I just do it as a hobby, but she told me I better get busy whipping some stuff up. So I said to myself, “Self, get off your butt and get these projects done that you have been wanting to get done!” and so I did. I will post some pics of the other stuff I made too, but this was my favorite. All of the images (not the sentiment) on the lantern were cut from the Pagoda cartridge, and they just worked so well. The sentiment “walk where your heart leads you” came from a picture I found on the web and I used MTC to cut the stencil.

It didn’t sell at the holiday sale (sadly we didn’t have a good turnout) but I was kind of relieved LOL. I don’t have anywhere to put it, but I think it would make a really good gift for someone at Christmas; what do you think?

Anyway, I saw a card style in the Creating Keepsakes magazine that I wanted to try, so I gave it a whirl. I really like the way it turned out. He loves sweets so what better to put on it than a bunch of sweet treats? When I gave him the card he said, "next time you could at least sign it" (I will explain the significance in a minute), so I had to show him the pocket sentiment. I really thought I made it obvious with the tag pertruding out of the side and the bright ribbons, but you know men LOL. Of course I loved glittering this bad boy up and I also glossy accented the sundae glass and cherries. I also heat embossed some clear sparkle to one of the presents. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="WordSection1"><br />
The DH has a TERRIBLE track record for card/gift giving. His family just doesn't do much of anything for birthdays, so I guess old habits are hard to break. Well there have been several times where I have had to sit in the car while he ran into a store to buy me a birthday card. There was also once where he gave me one that he hadn't signed and I handed it back at him and asked "who's this from?" he replied, "me" and I said "well, are you planning on returning it?" he said "no, why" and I replied "then if you can't sign the da*# thing, then don't bother". Of course we laugh about it now, but I was not amused at the time!!<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I love how it turned out. I just love bright colors…they are so fun! Have ever tried a step card?<br />

No Cricut here (YIKES!!!); all the materials and stamps are from Stampin' Up! (except the Stickles). This could very easily be made with the Cricut though. I know Elegant Edges has a border that is<em> similar</em> to the punch (how do I know? Check back in a couple of days ;)) used for the top border and of course there are plenty of carts with scallops that would work for the sentiment. Instead of stamping the image, you could always cut flowers out and hand doodle the little 'stems'. I think the Cricut is so versatile for stuff like that...who needs stamps?! (wait, what am I talking about?! I do! LOL!). Actually, I prefer sentiment stamps. I feel like I can make almost any image with my Cricut but it seems harder to cut sentiments (even just a simple thank you) small enough to work for some cards. Now don't get me wrong, I still do it, but I just think sentiment stamps are wonderful.<br />
<br />
So, what are your favorite types of stamps? You know I said I like sentiment stamps, but I also prefer clear acrylic stamps. Stampin Up! stamps are very nice, but I hate that I can't see where I am stamping (and they're thinking a rubber clear mount stamp is comparable to the acrylic clear stamps...just ludicrous).<br />
