Yuletide Carol extra club layout

This layout was made using the left over paper from the Close to My Heart Yuletide Carol paper pack after making the two - 2 page layouts from Workshop on the Go. I added 2 extra Kraft card stock base pages for this layout.

This is a very simple layout. There is still some paper left over so that you can accent photos or even make a card. 

 The top and bottom of each page are 2 x 12 inch B&T duo paper.

I used the zip strips from the paper - those are 1/2 x 12 inches.  For the Christmas words zip strip, I matted that with 1 x 12 inches New England Ivy cardstock.

The photo mats are 4 x 6 in Ruby and New England Ivy.

Ornament tag

One more tag for our ladies get together.

 

This one was made with the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge

<shape1> cut at 1 1/2 inches on Slate CTMH card stock.

I used sparkle tape from Sandy Lion and taped that to scrap cardstock in 3 rows.  I then cut out the ornament shape with the SU ornament punch.

I used a hole punch to make the tag hanger spot and the To: and From: are also from a CTMH stamp set.

Magnolia Birthday card

 I made this for my granddaughter who is turning 4.

 

I forgot to write down the colors of Copics when I colored this girl.  Sorry.

 

She is matted with Spellbinders Labels Eleven, the regular set and the Grand set of Labels Eleven.

Happy Birthday is from CTMH stamp set D1560 Holiday Tags

Christmas Tags

We try to get together around the holidays and have a fun night of eating and drinking and conversation with some of our friends.  We always try and do a easy craft with the group.  Some of us are crafty and some are not. Last year we made gift tags using punch art.  This year we are doing gift tags using Close to My Heart Cricut Art Philosophy and Artiste cartridges to make the tags and then Quickutz dies to embellish them.  The paper used for the tags was Close to My Heart, both current and retired papers.  The embellishments it was just paper on hand.

 

 

Here are the tags.  Sorry I forgot to write down the sizes of the cuts from the Cricut.
The Ho Ho Ho and To, From are Close to My Heart stamps.
