Little Pink and Green Snowfriend! Cricut Cardz #3 and Frosted Designs

The challenge at Cricut Cardz was to use pink and green on a card........my favorite combo....so this was lots of fun!  At Frosted Designs, you were to use concentric shapes....which I did with the background (rectangles) and the mat (squares).  I used all scraps on this card...yeah!   The snowfriend is cut at 3 1/2" and I just take parts I like from each one.   I've also found that if you cut the hats 1/2" bigger they seem to do better.   His little face is a Peachy Keen stamp (which I forgot that I had......)  Added glitter, and ink, and buttons, and rhinestones......MS punch snowflakes with rhinestones (I didn't wait for the glue to dry....) and a computer generated sentiment.   The mat is embossed with Swiss Dots.

St. Patrick's Day Couple

My aunt and uncle have an anniversary on St. Patrick's Day and I made this little couple to go on their card.

Groom: 3" paper doll cut on blackout Groom's pants, shirt, hair, bowtie, and shoes. Dracula's jacket. Leprechaun's hat. Face is from the Peachy Keen Simple Simon collection.

Bride" 3" paper doll cut on blackout. Bride's dress cut once in white and once in green for inset. Used a gold gel pen to embellish. White layer ran through Cuttlebug with Swiss Dots folder. Brides hair and shoes. Veil is cut on dotted swiss vellum, decorated with a piece of scrap yellow I cut with a cuttlebug die cut/embossing element. The gloves are the Prom Girl's....I put them on front and back of hands. The bouquet is paper flowers with pearls added. Face is from Peachy Keen's Simple simon assortment as well with some added chalk.

All Male Swap - Mr. Simmons

I am participating in a Paper doll swap. My job was to create a male teacher. Not too difficult....recipe follows. But after I made the doll, both of my kids said it looked like their dad........who was a math teacher. And sure enough....it does!

Teacher Recipe

Cut a 4 1/2" blackout paper doll. Used the shirt from the groom and the pants/shoes from the prom boy. Hair is the leprechaun, doodled with a metallic bronze pen, and then inked for definition. The belt is the elf, and the belt and shoes were inked and doodled as well. The tie was hand cut from patterned paper and the tie and shirt were outlined with a black Sharpie. I used the face from the Simple Simon collection from Peachy Keen and chalked the cheeks. The apple is Doodleharms, cut at 1", embellished with dimensional paint, and attached with a pop dot.

Pilgrim's Give Thanks

Thanksgiving cards using paper doll dress up. Decided to make several different versions for my family. Same little pilgrims.......different colors and embellishments.

My first attempt at peachykeen stamps on the face....I like them!

Inside says Psalms 107:1

Give thanks unto the Lord
for He is good; His love
endures forever.
Psalm 107:1

Happy Thanksgiving!
