Cricut Imagine Christmas Wish & Snow Angel
Cricut lite Jolly Holidays

Base card Bazzill white card. From the Christmas Wish cartridge I printed 2 12 x 12 sheets the pattern is on page 8 of the handbook. To make the mats for the photo's I printed 1 sheet of the green pattern on page 11. This was cut to make 2 mats 6 1/4 x 4 1/4, 2 mats 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 and 1 mat 4 1/4 x 3 1/4. The glitter card at the base of the pages was cut freehand.

The title Merry Christmas is from the Cricut lite Jolly Holidays cartridge and the title was printed and cut @ 2.5 three times. I selected the blue pattern on page 3 (Christmas Wish) for the base of the title. From the color palette I selected the darker pink. For the letters E R Y and the word Christmas I selected the green pattern (page 11). I offset these when I adhered them to give the title a shadow effect.

The presents are from the Cricut Imagine Snow Angel cartridge. The prints are on page 17 of the handbook. I used the layer feature for all the cuts. These were printed and cut @ 3.5, 2 @ 3, 2.5 and 2 @ 2. The rectangle present was cut at 4.5. The rectangle present in the sleigh was printed and cut @ 2.5. To create the large rectangle box/present I used the pattern on page 43 (Snow Angel). I printed this at a larger size then trimmed it to measure 3 X 3 1/2 inches. To embellish the present I used different sized blue & pink buttons and white string. All the round presents are adhered with pop dots.

The journal tag was printed and cut using the top note shape available on the Cricut Imagine. The base for the tag was printed and cut @ 3.5 the pattern is on page 8 (Christmas Wish). The insert was printed and cut @ 3.3 the pattern is on page 6 (Christmas Wish).

The sleigh is from Snow Angel page 15 in the handbook. This was printed and cut @ 4.5 using the layer feature. I adhered the sides and the bottom of the top layer using pop dots as this leaves an opening to slip the presents into the sleigh.

The tree was printed and cut @ 8 using the layer feature the pattern is on page 23 (Snow Angel handbook). For the pot for the tree I cut 2 using the layer feature and the pattern is on page 22 of the booklet. For the base pattern on page 39 (Snow Angel) printed and cut @ 10.5. The top pattern layer for the pot was cut @ 8.

Please note: For all the layered images I changed the colour for the border by going into settings and changing to Custom in the Border Preferences. Then clicking on Define color I used RGB codes R 255 G 206 B 250. Then I clicked apply. This put a soft pink around the images.

Did you see the 3D Christmas Trees in the first photo? I created these using the basic shapes available in the Cricut Craftroom and the Cricut Imagine. After I printed and cut the trees I folded them in half and adhered 4 different patterned trees together. I punched a hole in the top to thread the raffia to hang the tree. I also tied raffia to create a star.

Cricut Art Philosophy Close to my Heart

For the base of the card I used Bazzill card and Kaisercraft Vintage Timeless 6.5" paper pad. I used the card cutout from page 36 in the handbook. I also cut out the shape and the layer. The stamped image used comes with the Art Philosophy cartridge. I used Memento Rich Cocoa to stamp the image. After I had assembled the base cutouts and had adhered the stamped sentiment I cut out a piece of Bazzill card rounded the corners and adhered this behind inside the card to give a finished look. The swirl is from page 58 in the handbook. These were cut also as a mirror image. I cut each swirl out four times and adhered them together to give a faux chipboard effect. The pattern paper for the swirl from Vintage Timeless. The small flowers are punched out using a Stampin Up punch Three for you. For the centre of these flowers I used Kaisercraft Droplets. For the roses I used the cutout on page 68 of the Arts Philosophy handbook. I cut the large flower @ 2.5 and the smaller flowers @ 2. For the centre of the roses I used liquid pearl as a fill and when that dried I placed a pink pearl on top of each flower. To create the leaves I used the cutout on page 28 of the handbook. These were folded, inked and I painted them with paper tole gloss. The raffia element was also painted with the gloss. To finish off the card I painted each flower with Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink and Pearlized Top Coat.

To start this project I painted the box using KAISERcolour Mud Puddle. I painted the inside and the outside of the box. For the outside of the box I printed a full sheet of the pattern on page 37 of the handbook. From this I cut two pieces approx 2 3/4 inch wide. I matched up the pattern for the join at the front of the box. To adhere all the paper to the box I used Helmar Professional Acid Free Glue.

Teresa Collins Stampmaker

This is my very first stamp I've made using the stampmaker. The image I've used is a dingbat-Laurie's Country by House of Lime and is available as a free download for personal use from http://www.dafont.com/. You will find this image in Dingbats-Kids. To create the image size I wanted I used Adobe Photoshop. I used a mat 2 x 2 inches. File-New-Blank File-Width 2 inches Height 2 inches. Using the Text I placed the image onto the virtual mat @ 150pt. Then I clicked onto Filter-Sketch and selected stamp. Here adjust the Light/Dark balance if needed. Once this was done I saved the image as a jpg file in my Pictures file onto my computer.

I followed the instructions that came with the stampmaker computer programme and printed out a negative print using the HP Deskjet 1000. For this printer select Preferences-Paper Quality-Speciality Paper-Advanced-Resolution-plain mode-Black and white automatic. Megan from http://www.aboverubiesstudio.com/ put a video on You Tube and that is where I got the settings from for this printer. Once the negative was printed I followed the instructions and made this stamp.

I used Copic markers to colour the image. For the dress I used RV 21 Light Pink & RV 06 Cerise, for the wings B 00 Frost Blue & B 02 Robin's Egg Blue. Skin tone I used E 02 Fruit Pink, E 01 Pink Flamingo & E 000 Pale Fruit Pink. I shaded around the stamp with C 0 Cool Gray. I used a mask over the image and airbrushed Y 21 Buttercup Yellow.

I also cut a piece of Core'dinations burnt orange card @ 4 1/2 x 5 3/4. For the inside of the card the Happy Birthday Matey was printed and cut @ 2.5. To make the decorate element for the card base I printed a full sheet of the pattern on page 39 (handbook). This was cut @ 5 inches then using scissors I cut around the bottom of the wave leaving a small amount of the black print as an edge. On top of that cut I adhered a small strip of the red stripe card 5 1/2 x 1/2 inch. I did this by using sticky tape at the back of the cuts to secure them to each other. I also adhered a small piece of the burnt orange to the left side using sticky tape. Then this element was adhered to black card leaving a narrow border at the top then once again cutting around the wave leaving a small edge (shadow). To assemble the inside base of the card I adhered a piece of the red stripe card which measured 5 11/16 x 5 13/16. Then I adhered a piece of the burnt orange card which measured 5 3/4 x 4 1/2 one inch from the top of the red stripe card. On top of the burnt orange card I adhered the decorate element using pop dots. I used pop dots to adhere the Happy Birthday Matey to the card. I used a thin strip of the red stripe card to create the checker effect at the base of the card. For the front of the card I adhered the burnt orange card on to the black card then I adhered the red stripe card. The layers for the pirate was adhered using pop dots. The assembled pirate was adhered to the card using pop dots. The layers for the bird was glued flat except for the top layer (birds face) I used a small pop dot and also a small pop dot for the buckle. I used pop dots to adhere the bird to the card.
