Box Card class

I love having people over to scrapbook and make cards but my passion is 3d and when I was asked to show people how to decorate a card with the Cricut I was in my element.
This is a box card. It folds so you can put it into a 6 inch envelope but once the ladies had finished no one wanted to send their cards they all wanted to keep them. The open bottom box is very easy to make  just a box with no bottom! Then add the bars in the centre of the box and decorate. Well I was suppose to show what they could do with a Cricut so I made some bees from Create a critter 2, scalloped hearts with inner hearts to match from CCR basic shapes, flowers from AP and then embossed the flowers in a star burst folder and then gave them  all the things to decorate with. Tis is what they came up with.

 Now aren't those little bees floating in the breeze awesome.
here is a video if the ladies creations with the fan going.

 

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.

Challenge to find something to do

Well I took up the challenge it was
challenge, for those looking for something to do
1: using just scraps of paper, do a page with no more than 4 photos. use stamps, and make your own embellishments. show finished product.
2: use your age to choose a page in any ctmh ideas book, and copy as best you can. post photo of finished product.

Well here is my page (but not my age)
This is made of scraps I had left from cutting 18 crackers from the CTMH Artiste cartridge before Christmas. I used Art Philosophy to cut all the embellishments and the title. I had the purple bling in my stash and it fit the purpose. The stamp is on the little note page that is in a pocket under the photo where you can see the white hanging out the bottom with pink sparklie tape on it. The stamp is actually like the lines on a note book so I have written the story of the purple ribbon for my DGD who was 3y 3m 3weeks when she entered her first Gymkhana on her new pony.

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

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.
