Christmas in July Blog Hop

Welcome to the Cutters Creek Christmas in July Blog Hop!  If you came from Jearise’s blog you are in the right place, if not and you would like to start at the beginning please jump to the Cutters Creek Design Team blog.  

We have some great projects in store for you today to provide you plenty of inspiration to help you jump start your holiday crafting. So grab your favorite beverage, sit back and relax, and get ready for some fun, inspiration, and the chance to win some blog candy too!

Here is what I made for you today:

 

2 Christmas Tags, I used my cricut to cut these out.  I used Tags, Bags, Boxes & More and cut the tag at 5inches.  Then I embossed them using Sizzix Christmas Set #3 and Cuttlebug embossing folder Matelassé by Anna Griffen. I know it is hard to see, the snowman has the snowflakes and the penguin has the Matelassé.  The snowman and the penguin are cut out from Create a Critter 2, at 3inches each. I used some ice stickles called crystal ice on their scarf's, hat and mittens. The ribbon is blue and red from what I had at home and then I found some stamps and stamped the saying of winter joy and happy holiday's in red and blue ink.  You can find these and many more items at the Cutters Creek store and if you need something special please ask Kim and she will help you find it.

Another 4th of July Project

This is  project I did for Cutters Creek for which I am on the Design Team. 

It’s almost 4^th of July, and I decided to make a card.  I got this digital image from online(The cutting café) and it was perfect for this card.  I used a card size 4 ¼ x 5 and then I matted the red poka dot from the Happy Days paper collection from Echo Park. I used Copic markers to color the hat I used Y17,B29 and R46. I used some Ice Stickles on the stars to give it some bling. The saying is something I also found online(the cutting café). I used pop up dots from my stach to give the hat and the words a 3-d look.

4th of July tag

Here is a new project I did for 4th of July, a tag.  I am on a design team for CUTTERS CREEK.  This is my project I did for them and I thought to share it here on my blog as well.

The cut outs are from Quick Kutz / Lifestyle Crafts. I used red cardstock for the tag and the red(barn door) and blue(faded jeans) are from Tim Holts & Ranger distress collection by core'dinations.  I cut the tag out using my cricut and Tags, Bags, Boxes and More, and size about 6inches..  then I just added red ribbon to the top.
Here is a close up

Hope you liked it. Thanks for stopping by.

May Arts Ribbon DT Call Project 3-tutorial

Here is my 3rd project for May Arts Ribbon DT Call.  I needed to make a card for my aunt who is not feel well. So, I made this card hoping to cheer her up.

So here is what I am starting out with

some blue( creative memories-cloud) and yellow paper, a white card, sizzix dot embossing folder, stamp set from The Stamps of Life- umbrella4you and ink-, black, sky and yellow ink, spell binders Lacey Ovals and Classic ovals (LG) and yellow ribbon.
Next I stamped the saying and the umbrella( blue & yellow ink on umbrella),
Then I stamped the raindrops(blue ink) in random order on white cardstock and cut it out with the large oval.

Then with the Lacey Oval cut it out in yellow.

Then I layered the yellow and blue embossed paper on the white card with the ribbon under the yellow card stock.

I added the raindrops to the yellow oval, used pop up dots on the umbrella.Added the saying after I layered it on blue and yellow to the bottom right and added the yellow bow to the upper left side. This is my get-well card for my aunt. Hope she likes it.
