Okay clearly obsessed, I created this Felt and Quilled Peppermint Wreath. I used stiff felt to cut stripes to glue down, random and nest like. I then used peppermint candy cane paper and quilled them into disc flower shapes. I love red and white at the holidays.

Still a bit wreath crazy this holiday season, I created a wreath out of kraft paper, burlap and t-shirt yarn rosettes. I am going to be so sad when the holidays are over. Can I leave all of my holiday up until June?

Still T-Shirt yarn obsessed over here! I used red and white t-shirt yarn and a flat, wooden wreath blank to create a candy cane wreath for the holidays.I twisted the two colors together to make the peppermint like candies on the bottom.

I LOVE the newest Imagine Cartridge called Notebook Doodles. Oh what fun I had.  I took an old pair of shoes, used white Gesso to cover them, allowed that to dry. I printed the little character designs onto iron on transfer paper. I then cut up the iron on paper and transferred it on to yellow cotton fabric and attached these patches to the shoe with glue. I then used Ranger Enamel Assents in black to outline the patches.

More Snow Globes! For this one I picked up a snow globe ready form from Urban Outfitter. For the inside design I cut the snow monster out of the Imagine Cartridge called Santas Village. I used the Winter Lace cartridgefor the snow flakes and cut it out of white paper. The package was from a sticker set I had laying around. I think this guy is the cutest thing!

Happy Holiday and Happy Crafting xoxo

The Cricut Mini arrive today! Time to set it up and start playing! I have the Cricut Craft Room set up and have been using it with my other Cricut’s. Looking forward to test driving this little thing. It is for 8 1/2 x 11.

I have been going snow globe crazy this year! I have made several of them and there are more lined up awaiting my attention. I picked up all of the globes at thrift stores and glued them to bases also found at thrift stores. Some of them are ball canning jars. This whole idea was inspired by Anthroplogie check it out HERE, All the little goodies inside came from craft stores, dollar stores and cake decorating stores that I then painted white with craft paint. Love Love Love!

I used the Craft Room Exclusive Cart called Word Bubble to make Coasters. I cut out the bubble shape from some left over pieces of cork that I had previously screen-printed on with the YUDU. I am making a ton of these and packaging them as holiday gifts. Who doesn’t need coasters? Perfect for holiday parties!

I am excited to show this project I made using an new Cricut Cartridge called Snow Days that I paired with vintage holiday wrapping paper.

I first wrapped a plain white box top that I picked up at a paper supply store, with red holiday ribbon to give it more texture. I then used the Snow Days cart to cut a cute little bundled up kid shape out of the vintage paper. I cut several of them and glued them to the box.

I also made a coordinating card because really how could I resist?

Happy Holiday Crafting xoxo
