Angels for the Tauranga Breast Cancer Support Group

Before Christmas I had the honour of being asked by the Tauranga Breast Cancer support group to go and demonstrate Close to my Heart and give them a make and take to do. This is a little angel I adapted from one I saw recently at the Hamilton Cricut club made by Shona D. We made a small box and a 3x3 card and the angel had a small peg on the back to clip onto the box. They were made with the Close to my heart sparkle and shine paper pack and the bulk pack of Chantilly paper.

Advent Callendar

Now I am a bit late finishing off this advent callendar but here it is. Well maybe its not just a callendar it is more of an advent village. The houses are the Store on Cricut Sweet Tooth Boxes, the clamshell tree boxes are from Cricut Tablescapes fall and winter, and the Triangle boxes and small boxes in the front are from Cricut Close to my Heart Artiste cartridge. I used a variety of papers including Sparkle and Shine from CTMHand Cricut 12x24 papers.

Artiste d and hohoho boxes are the tree boxes and the triangle boxes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The clam shell boxes are in different sizes and stacked at the back.

Santa's crashed out on the floor must have had too many sweets.

 

 

Each little box has a mini Santa and the triangle trees have a lolly and 2 M&M's. The Triangle trees also have a letter for each child and a number. The number relates to How many sleeps till christmas. so the fewer the boxes the closer to christmas.

Christmas Tree from Rosettes

This is a little Christmas tree made from Rosettes from the CTMH Artiste cartridge. Make the rosettes from .75 inches to 2.5 inches and layer them one on top of the other. The base is a straight piece of cardstock rolled up. The star is from the CTMH  Art Philosophy cartridge.

 

Death by Chocolate

Friend Raine wanted a coffin so while I was over there playing we made a coffin from the Artiste Cartridge. I so enjoyed playing and watching how Raine had decorated her coffin that I cased the idea and have done this one. The Coffin & the skeleton are from CTMH Artiste the bones are from Indie Art and Nate's abc's. I used the wood-grain embossing folder from sizzix and sponged the embossed areas with SU chocolate chip and the bones with crumb cake. The finished coffin measures 7 x 3.5 x 1.75 inches. I used CCR to cut it and the size on CCR was 10 inches which with the lid as well fit on a 12x10.5 sheet of paper.

The tutorial today was a heart card!!! well it is really, it just in the way you look at things.

Front or back some bunny loves ya

The speckles round the middle are vinyl left over after I cut the letters from Cricut cartridge Folk Art festival, the flowers are rolled flowers from Cricut cartridges CTMH Artiste and Art Philosophy. I have used soft suede card stock from Stampin Up for the card base.

BBTB2 Challenge 3d flowers on tin

Bitten by the Bug 2 has a 3d flower challenge on currently so I decided to cut a number of the rolled flowers from the Artiste cartridge which is the Cricut cartridge put out by CTMH. Here I have used the flowers to decorate a tin. This was an ordinary can that had fruit salad in. Once used these usually get thrown away but I decided I needed some tool containers so rather than go and buy one I covered this can in ribbon then added the flowers and some thickers I had in my stash from a grab bag. I cut the leaves from the Artiste cartridge also, the CTMH cartridges are very versatile. The altered can makes a good place to store my Cricut tools for when I am working at my desk. If you would like to see the other projects people have entered go and check out Bitten by the Bug 2 and check out what their design team has done as well as what others have entered.
