Warm Holiday Wishes

Hi friends! Well, I've updated my Imagine and I can now use my Gypsy with it!! I can't fill in the images with color yet, but I'm still excited. I just get nervous when I can't use my Gypsy on a project...LOL. I do have to admit I've been getting a little discombobulated (spelling?...this is my favorite word!) with all the switching of machines! My mats have been paying the price of my discombobulation. As soon as I get used to putting the paper one way, then I switch machines, and cut all over my mats....EEK! I am definitely a creature of habit and I will be SO happy when all is normal in my Cricut world...LOL! Anyhoo, here is today's card. I was able to design this on my Gypsy and cut it on the Imagine just like I would with my Expression. The only difference is, the Imagine cuts a lot better!! Slower, but better.

Recipe:

Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge

Peachy Keen Stamps Critter Faces Medium

Inkadinkado Sentiment Stamp

Papertrey Ink cardstock and Rustic Snowflakes Patterned Paper

American Crafts Ribbon

Sakura White and Black Gel Pen

Glitter Pen for Beak and the little stars in the sentiment



Winter Frolic Snowman Card

I absolutely LOVE this cartridge! I have had it for a few weeks now and have been dying to get to one of the adorable snowmen on it.  All cardstock, patterned paper, and ribbon used is from Papertrey Ink. I, of course, HAD to use a Peachy Keen face. This face came from PK-493 Everyday Character Face Parts and More. I have been getting a TON of use out of this little set lately!  If you don't already have this set, it is a good one to own (very cheap, too!).  The patterned paper has some distressing in it, so I brought out a little bit more of that distressing with my Ranger Antique Linen distress pad. Apparently, I am obsessed with my Sakura gel pen, because I just can't stop faux stitching...LOL.

I wish you all a happy and safe Labor Day weekend!!! I plan on spending the weekend with Gypsy and my bug! I know, I know, I'm such a bore...hehe!

Scrappy hugs,

Kimmy : D
