Christmas Card Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to the Christmas Card Blog Hop! This is my first hop and I am very excited that you came for a visit. Thank you, Jen, for inviting me. If you came here from Karen’s blog The Busy Bug then you are in the right place. If you would like to start the hop from the beginning then just click HERE.

I have two cards that I would like to share with you today. The first card is made with a cute little mouse stamp that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. These mice are just too cute! It is a Stampabilities House Mouse stamp called "Cuddly and Warm."

Here is a close up to see the sparkle.

I used Prisma Colored Pencils and odorless Mineral Spirits to color in my little mouse scene. I used Accent Essentials for the marquee shape. The Cuttlebug Snowflakes embossing folder was used for the background. Stardust Stickles for a little sparkle on the snow and the hats. Added some ribbon and snowflake brad to finish off this card. The sentiment if from Scrappy Moms Winter Wishes set.

My next card is made from Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge. The sentiment is also from Scrappy Moms Winter Wishes and it is what inspired this card.

Here is a close up to see the sparkle. :)

I used Winter Frolic for the tree and Create A Critter for the hearts. The background paper is from K&Company Pepermint Twist Stack. I trimmed the star from the tree and added a heart button threaded with some embroidery floss. A white gelly roll pen was used for stitching. The tree was embossed with the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing folder. I added Christmas Red Stickles to the hearts and Cotton Candy Stickles to the ornaments. This was a simple card but I really like how it came out.

September MCPT Challenge

I made this card for the September MCPT Challenge on the Cricut message board. This was such a cute image. I put it together and gave it to my sister for her birthday. I colored the image with Prisma pencils and mineral spirits. I used Crystal Stickles for the icing and Glossy Accents on the strawberry. I doodled and inked the edges and added ribbon and a little bling.

August MCPT Challenge

Here is my card I made for the August MCPT challenge on the Cricut message board.

July MCPT Challenge

I made this card for the July MCPT challenge on the Cricut message board. I loved this image so much I went out and purchased the stamp! The only Cricut cut on this card is the tag under the sentiment. I cut the tag from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I used Prisma pencils and mineral spirits to color the image. I added some stickles to the flower and glass and I attached skittles with some glue dots. The sentiment is from Stampin Up!.

This was made for the June MCPT Challenge on the Cricut message board. I gave it to my father-in-law for Father's Day. The font is from Plantin Schoolbook. The paper is from DCWV Animal Cracker's mat stack and I used a little stickles in the water and on the letters.
