Episode 85: two cute Cards Using Country Life & Imagine More

Hey there!

Today i am doing a bit of a two in one. I had this idea for 2 cute and simple cards so instead of doing two videos i thought tiat I would just do them both in one. since they were quick and fast, and pretty much go together.






Details:
The Countryside was cut from Country Life at 3 Inches
The pitcher was cut from Country Life at 3.75 inches.
Both Cards are A2 Size
PK 660 Laughy  Taffy Face Assortment
Scrappy Moms Stamps used:
" You  are my Sunshine" Amusing Animals
"Just a Note" The Charmed Life


I hope you enjoy this video!

Scrappy Moms Sneak Peak #2

Hey there friends.

I have another Scrappy Moms Designers Choice Sneak Peek for you today.

I made this card once again using give a hoot. The moment i saw this sentiment "butterfly kisses" I just KNEW I wanted to use this deer!!


****he following is going to be kind of confusing if you dont own an imagine... but you can figure it out using regular paper too***


The Deer is cut from Give a hoot  on pg 47, i cut this out at 2.8 inches and printed with the Imagine more Palette colors

the grass and hills are from give a hoot cut at 1 inch each on pg 65, printed with the imagine more palette colors. I trimmed them to fit on the oval.

I used the imagine system scallop circle at 2 inches with Imagine more paper on page 39 (1st one)

Cardbase paper is from Imagine more on pg 43 sized with a 5.5 inch square cut at 4 x 5.25 inches and the top punched with my martha stewart eyelet lace punch

the layer square is from imagine more on pg 40 sized with a 4 inch square cut at 4x3.25 inches

The oval shape is from imagine more on pg 14, used the layers feature and the journaling oval is sized at 4.5 inches true, and the yellow scallop layer is sized at 4.8 inches true



Nearly Everything is inked with Tim Holtz Pumice Stone Distress ink
Ribbon is from American Crafts

***giveaway closed***Homemade Christmas Blog Hop

Hey there friends,

Welcome to the homemade Christmas Blog Hop!! Today's Blog hop is all about homemade christmas ideas for gifts, cards, and decor.

Today I will be showing you a little bit of each! It is soo easy to create awesome handmade gifts for christmas using your cricut.

Since I Just got my imagine yesterday, I sat down and easily and quickly whipped up card sets for gift giving. My family and friends love getting homemade cards.

here are the set of 4 that I made

 For this card I used imagine more border feature as well as Country Life.
 The pattern paper, solid green and kite image are all from imagine more.
This card I created using pattern paper from Imagine More and the clothes hanging on a line is from Country life.
The pattern paper and cardstock are all from Papertrey ink, I used my imagine and Simply charmed to match the Papertrey ink RGB codes .



Next I made a really cute ornament
 This is a plastic ornament that I purchased from Michaels on Black Friday. Inside of it is an idea that I got from my fellow Scrappy Moms design team Member Liz From Liz's Paper Loft. I sprayed the inside with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer mist the photo looks a little foggy but the actual orgnament has a sheen of glitter, its so pretty. Inside is a cut from Winter Frolic of 2 birds in a cage, and that is cut at I believe 2.75 inches. and is mounted on acetate. If you want a full tutorial for this please check out liz's site, she has a great video. I tied a bow with Some stampin up Real Red swiss dot saddle stich ribbon, added a black button and tied some timeless twine. I added the ribbon onto the ornamanet with my hot glue gun

I created a box using some light blue cardstock, 11 inch square  scored on all 4 sides at 3.5 inches.

I also created a top and added some fun 2.5 inch wire ribbon.

Next I created a snowman candy bar wrapper. This is a free printable design by Laurie Furnell. She has all the instructions for it on her site.  It is a very easy sewing machine project. If you know how to make a straight-ish stitch you can make this

Finally to wrap everything up I used a Kraft Gift bag to decorate it. the cut is from Christmas Cartridge cut at 2.5 inches (i think)




I hope you really enjoy this project I created and it gives you some ideas for some homemade gifts for christmas
