Christmas In July Blog Hop - Anything Goes

Welcome to the Christmas in July Blog Hop!  We have a great line-up of talented Cricut crafters who will be sharing their creativity with you today. And, we have a giveaway - a Christmas Village cartridge!  You can earn entries by following and commenting on each of the blogs in the hop. You get one entry for each comment!  Since this is the fourth and final posting of the series, all entries will also be eligible to win the Christmas {Noel} cart on July 31st.

If you arrived here from Brenda's blog you're in the right spot.  If not, you'll definitely want to start at the beginning with Paulette http://scrapalette.blogspot.com/ so you don't miss any of the fabulous projects.  

I was hoping to have more than one project for you this week, but unfortunately life got in the way.  So, the project I'm sharing today is a 12x12 Christmas layout.

Patterned paper is DCWV The Homemade Christmas Stack and DCWV The Heirloom Christmas Stack.

I cut Merry Christmas from the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge at 2" in a dark red and a dark grey cardstock.  The red cardstock was slightly offset on top of the dark grey to give a shadow appearance.   The present is cut at 2.5" from the Christmas Solutions cartridge - gold paper was hand trimmed to fit behind the cut out.  Lastly, I cut the ornament at 2.9" from Winter Frolic.  I added some silver stickles and pop dots for dimension.  It's pretty simple right now, so I may come back at a later date and add some more Cricut cuts to the page.

Christmas in July - Christmas Card Blog Hop

Welcome to the Christmas in July Blog Hop!  Each Saturday of the month there will be a different hop featuring holiday themed projects.  We have a great line-up of talented Cricut crafters who will be sharing their creativity with you today. And, we have a giveaway - a Christmas Cards cartridge!  You can earn entries by following and commenting on each of the blogs in the hop. You get one entry for each comment!

If you arrived here from Diane's blog you're in the right spot.  If not, you'll definitely want to start at the beginning with Paulette http://scrapalette.blogspot.com/ so you don't miss any of the fabulous projects.  

Now on to my projects:

For the first Card, I decided to use blues as my main color palette.  The pattern paper is from DCWV Winter Combo Matstack.  The snowman is cut from Winter Woodland at 2.7".  Snowflakes are cut at 2" from Accent Essentials.  I used the iRock to adhere 2 blue and 1 green gem to the snowflakes to add a little sparkle.  Broken China Distressed Ink was used on the edges of the light blue square.  Finally, pop dots were used to adhere this friendly little guy.



This next card I used more traditional Christmas colors.  Pattern paper is from DCWV The Christmas Matstack.  Santa is cut at 2.5" from the Christmas Solutions cartridge and white flocking was added to his hat and beard.  He is adhered with pop dots for added dimension.  The circles were cut in graduating sizes from Plantin Schoolbook.  The smallest circle was cut from white paper and colored with Peeled Paint Distressed Ink to give it a shaded look.  Prima Flower poinsettias and 3 black iRock gems were added as finishing touches to help balance the card.

On a roll...

Today I managed to get motivated and complete 4 more pages.  If I can keep up this pace the next few days, I should have my friends' album done by the end of the week (fingers crossed).

Paper is DCWV The Guy Stack.  The scallop circle is Cricut Craft Room Basics and the phrase frame is printed with the Imagine Kate's Kitchen cartridge.  The phrase was printed from my photo printer onto the frame.

Paper is some old paper from Hot off the Press / Paper Pizazz that I've had in my stash.  The angel is cut from the Christmas Solutions cartridge. 


Patterned paper from DCWV The Guy Stack and solid is from DCWV the Bright Stack.  Font is Mickey Font.


This last layout is scraplifted from the Cricut Design Team.  Cartridges used are Accent Essentials for the scallop square, Plantin Schoolbook for "a Boy's" and the remainder of the cuts are from Stand and Salute.

Five More Layouts to Share

I'm still on a roll and have some more layouts to share.  I have 19 done so far for my friends' album and guessing I have about 18 left to go - yikes!


This one is scraplifted from Sara Andrews - using DCWV Heirloom Christmas Stack.  I loved Sara's simple layout that used the paper as the focal point, so I just had to do my own similar layout.  No Cricut cuts on this one.




This next layout uses cuts from Christmas Solutions (tree), Plantin Schoolbook (the circle) and Winter Frolic (phrase) cartridges,


Christmas Solutions was used for the rocking horse.  The middle horse was flipped using the Gypsy.



Phrase is from Winter Woodland.  One of the snowflakes is from Accent Essentials but I can't remember what cartridge the other one is on.  For the white scalloped layer, I took 4 scalloped squares (from Kate's ABCs) and welded them together with the gypsy so that the scallops were smaller - if you just enlarge one scalloped squares the scalloped end up being stretched.

For this last layout, I believe "Santa" is cut from Christmas Solutions.

Winter/Christmas Themed Blog Hop!




Welcome to the Winter/Christmas Blog Hop celebrating our favorite time of the year. This Blog Hop is hosted by Paulette, from Around the Block with Scrapalette.  Thank you Paulette for hosting!

You can start at the beginning of the hop at http://scrapalette.blogspot.com/

Here are my projects for the blog hop - I'm trying to focus on layouts these days because I am so far behind.  The first is a Christmas theme with Santa Claus.  The cuts (ornaments, tree with snow and Santa Claus title) are all from the Christmas Solutions cartridge.  I added Frosted Lace stickles to some of the snowy areas on the tree.  Paper is DCWV.


Next are winter themed.  On these next layouts, the paper had a lot of embellishment already so I kept the Cricut cuts to a minimum.

Snowman is from Smiley Cards and Winter Fun Title is from Winter Frolic.  Ice Angel title uses Gypsy Font Monogram.  All paper is from DCWV - I just love their paper stacks!




Thanks for hopping by, please be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win blog candy - it will be a surprise as I haven't had a chance to get to the store, but will go this weekend.  Of course, if you like my projects, I would love for you to also become a follower.
