FUN DIY CHRISTMAS CARDS

White Pines Workshop on the Go

 This lovely cardmaking kit has directions, and basic supplies, to make 15 Christmas cards. 

The directions are clear, and it only took me a few minutes to make each card. I'm really impressed with how my cards turned out, and can't wait to mail them to my friends and family.

 You will only need a few different ink colors, stamp blocks, and adhesive, to complete these cards.

HALLOWEEN HAUL

Let the Spooky Fun Begin

There were so many things I wanted to purchase from the new Holiday Expressions Catalog that it was hard to decide what to get first.

I decided to go with some Halloween goodies as I have a project I need to get started on a.s.a.p.  

I've started a tradition of making countdown gift boxes or bags for major holidays for my grandchildren. To my grandchildren Halloween is a major holiday. 

I made a video showcasing the items that I purchased for this very important project. 

If you would like any of these awesome items for yourself I have included the links below. 

I hope you all have some great Halloween crafting planned.

GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS PART 1

Christmas in July Cards

Every January I promise myself that I will start preparing for Christmas early, so I can just sit back and enjoy the fun with everyone else. This year I may actually get my act together.

I'm starting my Christmas prep with a few easy Christmas Cards. I hope they will inspire you to start your Christmas planning early.

This is the first in a series of videos, and blog posts, showing how I am getting my act together early this year.

 If you are like me and always promise to start early, but just never seem to, join in and let's see if we can have a more relaxed holiday season this year.

ADVENTURES WITH MY CRICUT IX

Thank You and Flower Pots

Whew! I made it to page 10 in the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge. This page has "Thank you" cards with pretty flowers in pots.

This might be the easiest page I have done so far. I used the Blossom paper packet again. I love this paper packet! I'm now down to scraps, and contemplating ordering more before it is no longer available.

Soon I will be able to see all of the new products coming out in September, and I can't wait. I am sure there will be lots of new goodies, maybe even a paper packet I love as much as this one.

As always, I have filmed a video to show you the cards I made, and links to the products I used.

ADVENTURES WITH MY CRICUT VIII

Bicycles, Flowers, and Many Thanks

This was an easy page of cards to assemble, and I decided to use the bright, and floral, Blossom paper packet.

Everything I used was from the paper packet and the matching embellishments. Links to all of the items I used can be found below the video.

All cards were cut out at the recommended sizes, and put together per the cartridge directions. 

These cards can be customized in lots of ways. I hope you will experiment and make these cards your own.
