Santa Owl Card


This is a card I made to send out. I printed the png. file and then sized the two green svg. file pieces to fit on my base to give it some depth. I added ultra fine Flower soft to the brim and ball of hat. Before I cut the base I offset the image because I wanted the white layer. To make it a card I cut this layer twice and placed a fold line on the back image. Simple card but came out cute. File I used was Santa Owl.

Angry Elf Card

Hey Everyone! Ken here with Ken's Kreations.

Well I am starting to feel back to normal after my gallbladder surgery, so now I can get back to my passion....CRAFTING!! Well my favorite time of the year is Christmas and one of my yearly traditions is to watch the movie "Elf". This movie was the inspiration behind this Christmas Card:


For this card I used the Cricut Explore. I started with the card base which I found on the Christmas Card Cartridge. I brought the card with the tree on it into deign space and ungrouped it. I deleted the tree so I just had the card base and sentiment rectangle left. I inked the edge of the top layer of the card with Bamboo Pigment Ink. In the center of the card I used the Angry Elf SVG file from PPBN Designs. I used the Print Then Cut feature in Design Space with my Cricut Explore and my Epson Artisan 1430. I raised the elf in the center of the card using Foam Tape. On each side of the elf I wanted to hang some ornaments and found the perfect border on the Holiday Cakes Cartridge. To add a little bling to the border I used my I-Rock Heat Setter and green/red gems. I could now turn my focus to the sentiment, which is one of my favorite quotes form the elf movie...." He's An Angry Elf"

I used the font off the Holiday Frames & Tags Cartridge. I used the writing feature on the Cricut Explore. I used the American Crafts Chalk Markers on the dark red sentiment backing. Now these pens fit snugly in the circuit explore or you can use the Chomas Pen Holder for a better fit. Here is a video on the Chomas Pen Holder.  On each end of the sentiment I wrapped Red Baker's Twine and finished it off with a basic red button. 


I hoped you enjoyed this "Angry Elf Card". Make sure to check out the current Close To My Heart December specials and Don's forget to check out the shopping list below to make this card yourself. Any purchase made on the site will help support Ken's Kreations.

O Christmas Tree


The files I use are car with Christmas tree, O Christmas Tree, North Pole Sign, and Colorful Christmas Tree. The paper I used was from BoBunny the Candy Cane Lane collection. This is two sided so I had plenty of choices. I choose to cut my paper in half and put back together from 1/2 of another sheet. I then choose a paper for the borders, The photo corners are from the Silhouette store. The 2014 is the Candy Cane font from the Silhouette store. Hope you are have a Blessed Christmas season. I bought the paper in OKC, OK  at a cute shop called Paper Crown her web site is www.papercrown.net.

Snowmen

Hey beautiful crafters! I have a thing for snowmen! I have no idea why...it probably steams from Christmas. The idea of Christmas movies and Frosty the Snowman proclaiming, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" brings a smile to my face that I can't even begin to describe. Hence the reason you will be seeing snowmen for oh say another month or so. ;) 


So without further ado my current favorite snowman is this cutie file from PPBNdesigns. 


I kept the same color theme except for his base I used a Christmas pattern paper you can tell if you look closely at the arms. I super love him!!!

Hope you are all having a joyous December!

Hugs & Creative Blessings,
Raven
