CIU #241 - Holiday Gift Giving

 

Hello Friday and welcome weekend as the flurry of holiday activities continues.  Today”s project share was created for the Holiday Gift Giving challenge at the Cut it Up challenge  blog..  Our sponsor for challenge s#241 is The Cutting Cafe.

The pillow box file provided by our sponsor is the perfect packaging for lots of gifts and this challenge was the perfect time for me to finally open my Silhouette Portrait.  I won it over a year ago from one of my FB groups.  I used some Recollections paper to cut my box and since the files from  The Cutting Cafe comes with everything that you need so all I had to do is fill it once I had cut and put it together.

Now that you’ve seen my signature simple gift packaging idea I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration.  Create and share your project for a chance to win 3 designs from our challenge sponsor.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, continue to take care and hurry back soon.

Monday Musings

 

Hello and happy Monday, another nice weather day here with a forecast with the possibility of some rain later today.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share another holiday card created after watching another YT Video from Mary over at Cardz TV.  I am indeed a hoarder of scraps so this video allowed me to finally just finish off the Simple Stories Classic Christmas 6x6 paper pad.  I cut the poinsettia using some DCWV papers and a Sizzix die, the sentiment is from the same Cardz TV stamp set that she used in the video!  I am so enjoying Mary's countdown to Christmas card series, I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #155 over at Cardz TV, happy to share one of my previously shared cards was randomly selected to receive another one of her stamps sets!

Thank you for visiting, hope you are well and practicing self-care as you go about.

Hello and happy Wednesday, another mild weather day in our area!  I am moving right along with getting my holiday cards done, hoping to get them in the mail by next weekend.  I’ve already sent cards for two different swaps so I just need to finish the cards for family and friends.  Today’s card share may very well be the one that I make  multiples, just need to see if I have the larger paper pad.  I put this card together after watching a Cardz TV YT video,  I used papers from the Craft Smith Say Freeze 6x6 paper pad, cut the deer using the December 25th Cricut cartridge, a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment and some Gina Marie Designs enamel dots. I was really pleased with how this card came out, I think the paper choice really compliments the design.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #154 over at Cardz TV, thank you Mary for your inspiration!

Hello and happy Saturday afternoon, stopping in for a quick drive by post.  I am about to go out for a quick walk but I wanted to create this post before the day ended.  I created this thank you card using an old PDE sketch and papers from.

 In all things give thanks, hello and happy Tuesday, mild temps in our area in today’s forecast.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from this month’s arc sketch over at Stick it Down.  I used miscellaneous papers from my stash for most of the card but the pattern piece came from the Love Nicole Autumn Splendor 6x6 paper pad.  The stamped sentiment is from a very old set that was gifted to me many years ago, the name on the packaging is My Sentiments Exactly.  Added a few Bo Bunny gems and a flower from my stash and this card was done, now to figure how to create an envelope so it can survive the mail!
