Naughty Mrs. Claus

This is the Christmas card I made for my husband last year. He loved it!!! I used a paper piecing pattern for the card shape and then for the bra and panties. I found the white fur with the holiday trims at Target. The tattoo on the cheek is a stamp from CTMH. Having troubles coming up with a card idea for him this year.

Vikings Poster

I made two cards yesterday but forgot to take pics of them before I mailed them out. Just couldn't resist posting the pic of my son's project for school. My son made this poster for a report he has to give in class on the Vikings. He used the Cricut cartridge Base Camp for the lettering and the Indie Art cartridge for the flames. To get the flames the size he wanted, he used Design Studio to stretch and manipulate them. He did this all on his own and I didn't even know he used my Cricut until he was done. Both my boys know which of my supplies and papers are acceptable to use and they often create on their own for their school projects.

Nativity Tile

We are having a Christmas party tonight at our house so I made these for each of the guests. The tiles are 6x6. I covered the back with brown felt and will have an easel for each of the tiles. I used the When It's Cold Outside Cricut cartridge and cut the nativity snowflake at 5.25 inches

Special Delivery UPS Truck Card

I made this birthday card for my sister who works for UPS. The card is a joyfold card and I had to adjust the size because I wanted my truck to be fairly large. I added rhinestone stickers for the lights and silver metallic paper for the mirrors and hubcaps. I used two pieces of cardstock cut at 5x11.5 scored at 4 inches and 4.25x12 scored at 6 inches.
