Christmas Tree Plain & Simple

It took me longer to decide what I was going to do, than to actually cut and assemble this card.  For some reason I could not find the proper green cardstock to make the background.  I finally found it, and the rest came together fairly easily.

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty

The other day I was watching a video by a famous papercrafter who was using this device to pop cards up.  It was made of something that looked a whole lot like the acetate that I save from my packaging.  SOOOO, I wondered if I couldn't make one of these.  Smoke rolled from my ears, sweat poured off my forhead, and you could smell rubber burning; Oh she must be thinking!!  Once the smoke cleared, I had an idea.  I used a 1/2 inch wide by 2 1/2 long piece of acetate, and used my Score Buddy to scored it a 1/2 inch increments.  I made this into a square, with a piece that overlapped, and voila, a pop-up device.  You can go do my instruction blog for the specific details of making one.

Non-Traditional Christmas Card In Blue & Grey

I love my cricut and this butterfly cut from the Sentimental Cartridge.  I used the BoBunny Paper that I bought last year and didn't have a chance to use up.  I used Stampin' Up Nearly Navy ink, and GinaK Sentiment Stamp and Round Saying from the Holiday Greetings Set.  I used my Cuttlebug to cut & emboss the round and label.  White card base from Hot Off the Press.
