My Day at Exploring Cricut!

Hi All!!

Today is my day over at Exploring Cricut!

For my project today, I wanted to recreate a project that I made for a friend and a craft show last year! I have my new house this year, and I have a Christmas Tree in my dining room that is ONLY my handmade ornaments! I love that tree!!! Well, when I was looking at it, I had decided I had two banners on it that I set to look like an ornament, and I wanted one more! So, I made this:

I used:
 
Cricut Craft Room
Winter Frolic
Cricut Font and Basic Shapes
Imagine-Christmas Wish

I just love the way it looks on my tree!!! I'm glad I even had some of the ribbon from last year that I used on it!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

Guest Designer Day at Jaded Blossom!

Hello All!!!

Today is a VERY exciting day for me!!! I am a GUEST DESIGNER for one of my favorite stamp companies EVER, Jaded Blossom!!! This is a TOTAL honor for me!!! I have been a fan since they came out and I ADORE them! My sister in law and I use them for TONS of things that we create for our family, friends, and our business!! So, thank you Candace and Michelle, for allowing me to be a designer during your birthday month!

For today's post, I decided I wanted to use one of my FAVORITE sets that I own from Jaded Blossom, the Santa Mail set. It has a TON of useful sayings on it! My favorite being "Do not open until Dec 25"! I also love the "From the North Pole" stamp as well! These stamps work PERFECTLY for Craft Show items, Teacher Gifts, Stocking Stuffers, etc!

The stamp I decided to use on my project today is the do not open unitl dec 25th stamp. I figured it would go awesome with my K-Cup SVG file!

Here is a picture of my project:

 
Supplies:
 
Silhouette Cameo
Silhouette Studio Designer Edition
Craftin' And Stampin' SVG File: K-Cup Gift Box
Jaded Blossom: Santa Mail Stamps
Brown ribbon/Red ribbon from my stash

Hey All!!!
Today is my day over at Exploring Cricut, and I am pulling out an Oldie BUT a Goodie! We made something just like this about 2 years ago, but I wanted to make it again since my brother in law proposed to my future sister in law!!! It will be time for another bridal shower, so I gotta stock up on my favor ideas for her!!!
 
Wanna see what I made? Here it is!!
 
 
I used Tie the Knot and Art Philosophy for my box. I made the box at fit to page, so it was the biggest I could make it! I had the accents in my scrap extras box, so I am unsure of what cartridge they came from!
 
 
I cant wait for another sister in law! I am already blessed to have four! One more would be amazing!!!
 
OK all, dont forget that we have the blog hop from Monday, and we have our challenge going on that you can enter at EXPLORING CRICUT!
