Festive Friday Blog Hop - 12

Welcome back for another installment of our Festive Friday Blog Hop. Time is going by so fast. Christmas will be here before you know it. Have you joined us and started creating your card collection? If so, I would love to see your creations.

You should have arrived from Angela's blog. If you missed it please go back and see her super cute project. You can start at the beginning of the hop at Terri's blog.

This week for my project I made a 5' by 7' card using a card kit by Anna Griffin. I just love this kit. It came with envelopes, card bases, card mats, sentiments for the outside of the cards and also sentiments for the inside of the cards. It also has beautiful layers. I love that you can mix and match the different layers to create your own cards.

Festive Friday Blog Hop - 10

Welcome back for another installment of our Festive Friday blog Hop. Time is going by so fast. Christmas will be here before you know it. Have you joined us and started creating your card collection? If so, I would love to see your creations.

You should have arrived from Angela's blog. If you missed it please go back and see her super cute project. You can start at the beginning of the hop at Terri's blog.

For my project, I made an A2 (4.25 x 5.5) sized card. I used the Cricut Cartridges - When It's Cold Outside to make the Gingerbread Snowflake (3.3 inches) and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Cartridge for the greeting (1.3 inches). The papers used are from Recollections. I also used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss the background called Snow Dots and inked it with black ink.

Flaunt It Friday's - Friday the 13th Blog Hop

If you are here for the Festive Friday Blog Hop, please go HERE or scroll down. If you are here for the Friday the 13th Blog Hop, you are in the right place.

Hi Everyone... Thanks so much for joining me as I have the pleasure of being a Guest Designer on the Flaunt I t Friday’s Blog Hop. I know you can't tell by reading this, but I am sooooo excited to be able to join in on the fun. You should have arrived here from Mel's site. If you just happened upon my blog, please stay around and enjoy. To start at the beginning of the hop please go to Flaunt It Friday's site.

For our first project we were to create a project using the phrase "Friday the 13th" on page 54 of the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge. My first project is a shaped TV card that measures 6 x 6 inches. I used the Gypsy to weld two TV's form the Groovy Times Cricut Cartridge to create a shaped card. I used jewel toned paper for the layers. I found an image of Jason to add to the TV screen and layered the Friday the 13 phrase on top. I then layered a piece of transparency on top for the screen.

Recipe

Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge

Groovy Times Cricut Cartridge

Recollections paper packs (Jewel Tones, Transparent)

Diamond Stickles

Glossy Accents

For my second project I created a mini photo frame from the Happy Hauntings cartridge. This frame was cut at 3 inches. I used a witch's silhouette for the image. This would be a great size to add a mini wallet size photo. I added Black Diamond Stickles to the "web" layer. This was super easy to create. You could use a variety of different papers for different looks.
