Christmas Cards!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... in the craft stores anyway. Since my craft show is in early November, I figured I better start stocking up on Christmas cards!

And... here is a puppy gift bag that I love!

More Gift Bags!

We were pretty busy this weekend with the Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off and everything so I didn't get much crafting done. Today I finally got back to crafting and finished up some more gift bags.

Trying to use more patterned papers

I'm working on using more patterned paper. I used to always go back to using solid colors and then embellishing with glitter and things. I am forcing myself to branch out to more patterns and I am liking the results! I think these cards were perfect for using patterns.

Gift Bags!

I've also really been enjoying making gift bags! Here are some of the ones I have finished. I make a matching hang tag with each one which can just be decoration, or used as a small card. These are really fun to do!

This was cut from Paisley- this one still needs its hang tag attached!

 

 These were cut from Create A Critter. I think the monkey and banana are my favorite!

The bag on the left is embossed with snowflakes and the bag on the right is a congrats bag for a baby girl.

Elmo!

Here are two different style cards I made using one of the Elmo cuts from the Sesame Street Cartridge. The words Ready, Set, Blow were cut from Sweet Treats.

Give A Hoot!

I didn't have much time to craft tonight, but I managed to get a couple cards done from the 

Give A Hoot Cartridge. 

Disney Day!

Well tonight I put the Mickey and Friends cartridge to good use. Thanks to Amy for letting me borrow it! Here are some of the creations I came up with.

 

All cuts were made using the Mickey and Friends cart except the Happy Birthday sentiment that was cut from Create A Critter.

 

 The You Did it sentiment was cut from Beyond Birthdays.
