MCT 12 Days of Christmas Day 12

Hello and welcome to the 12th and final day of Emma's 12 Days of Christmas. If you arrived here from the talented Cindy's blog you are in the right spot. If not make sure to start at Emma's blog.

Today I have a cute mini banner for you. It is probably only 16-18" long, but is perfect for a little holiday decoration. Here is the whole thing so you can get a general idea of how it looks all together. Then I will zoom in on a few pieces for you.

What I used for this project was Emma's XL Label Die for the banner pieces and the XL Label Border stamps for the perfect stitched trim on them. The gingers are from the Faceless Gingerbread Doll Large set. I just got these recently and HAD to make sure that I used them before Christmas! I paper pieced and inked everything and then added some chalk and glossy accents. I used some old Sizzix letter dies for the letters and I tied everything together with some pretty twine from The Twinery. I hope you like it and I hope that you have enjoyed the 12 days of Christmas at My Creative Time!

La bûche de Noël

For the current Let's Face it Friday Challenge over at the Peachy Keen Challenge blog we were asked to make a card or layout with you favorite holiday recipe. About 12 years ago I lived in France for 17 months. I spent two Christmases in France and my favorite Christmas treat was une buche de Noel. It is a yummy chocolate and cream filled creation rolled up and decorated to look like a log. It was often decorated with cute little decorations like holly and such. I am told that they are traditionally served with mushrooms made with meringue and that is why I have added cute little meringue colored mushrooms to my recipe layout.

 
Here is a little bit of a closeup:

The holly is actually a hidden recipe card. You just pull it up and the front has the ingredients on it and the back will have the directions on it. Here is a picture with the recipe card pulled out.

Have a terrific day! Hugs- Glora

Create a Critter Cricut cartridge

Here it is:

Here is a close up of the darling Santa suit, I used Fun Flock for the red and the white parts so that it is really soft and fuzzy. I love the way it feels, unfortunately a tiny bit of the red got on some of the white (even though I did them at separate times) but I still like it:

I also added Fun Flock to the Ho Ho Ho (don't you just want to reach through the screen and touch it - LOL)...

My Creative Time Design Team Day - "Shaped Card"

Hello friends. Here we are with another fun Design Team day over at My Creative Time. Today Emma wanted us to make a shaped card. For my card I used the "All Around Christmas" stamp set.

I just LOVE that darling Merry Christmas sentiment on Emma's All Around Christmas Stamp set. It is such a fun font. I love it! And if you have followed my blog for a while you will know that I can't make a 'rocking horse' project without attaching it to an Action Wobble. It is just the perfect motion for these sorts of things. Although they can be fun to add to just about anything. And as always I made a VERY short video demonstrating how cute this little elf looks rocking on his rocking horse.



Make sure to drop by the My Creative Time blog and see what Emma and the other Design Team members have made. I'm certain there will be some beautiful inspiration to be seen. Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day! HUGS- Glora

*Jolly Holidays Cricut Lite cartridge - (elf)
*Easter 2010 Cricut cartridge - (card base)
*My Creative Time stamps - All Around Christmas (sentiment)

If not make sure you go back to Emma's blog and get the full hop in. There are chances to win some awesome prizes so make sure you comment on EVERY single stop along the way.

My card is a little bit of Christmas in July (or almost July) but when I saw this sentiment I just had to make a card with it! I'm a total little kid at heart and I still believe in Santa Claus and the Spirit of Christmas. I hope you enjoy it! Oh and yes, that ADORABLE face is a Peachy Keen face stamp from a set called Happy Lashes.

This full sentiment and frame come from two sets of stamps. Believe is from Inspiring Words and the beautiful frame and 'I still believe in Santa Claus!' sentiment come from the Inspiring Words {Accents}. You can see both sets picture below. (You can click on them to see them enlarged)



And here is a sample page of how you could mix and match the sentiments but the options are pretty much endless.
