25 Days of Christmas- Day 14

Welcome to Funky Cards

Cooking With Cricut 
25 Days of Christmas - Day 14
Challenge #64 - Holiday cards, gifts, & tags

 Today we are going to focus on the quick and easy types of projects that we can create.  These can be cards, gifts, or even tags. For my project, I decided to make a gift for my grandparents that was really quick and easy. I asked my mom to bake her ever so yummy homemade Biscotti for me but you can fill your treat box with whatever you would like.

This treat container once held cookies from the grocery store.  It looked like it was going to be the perfect size for an altered project so when the cookies were gone I cleaned it thoroughly and saved it for a future project:)  Paper flowers were attached with an ATG Gun to the top and sides of the container.

A pretty pink bow was used to tie up the gift and a quick and easy tag was made using the free cutting file given away during the 25 Days of Crafting Fun here at Cooking With Cricut!!!

Welcome to Funky Cards

I am totally feeling the love!!

Katie and Jesse once again have made two cards to share with us for the "I Feel the Love Project."  These two young ladies go to a small school with very limited supplies.  They designed and created these cards all by themselves.  I just LOVE the cards girls.  Awesome job!!  Can't wait to see more from you.  You ROCK:)

Katie

Jesse

I have never been a Girl Scout or a Brownie but from what I am learning these young ladies work on service projects each month.  I group of Brownies decided that for their service project for the month of December they would make cards for the "I Feel the Love Project."  How awesome are they?  They made over 40 cards to send to the kids at The Pediatric Oncology Unit at Kaiser Hospital.

 You young ladies are so sweet!!  I appreciate you so much!

So focused:)  I love that!!

Great job girls!!

This just made my day:)  Thank you again girls and Jen for all that you did to make the kids smile and feel the love this Christmas.

Day 5: 25 Days of Christmas

25 Days of Christmas - Day 5

Today's theme is all about the Candy Cane.  I designed and created this Christmas card using a real candy cane:)

This card was purposely made this card a bit bigger so that it could sit on our dining room table next to a center piece I made.  I have no intentions of sending it in the mail so I wasn't worried about its size and having to fit it into an envelope.  It is a 6" x 6" square card.  The blue card stock was cut from the Sophie Cricut cartridge.  Instead of using it for its intended use, it was cut out using the blackout feature and all the fine details were left out.

I love using blue with red for Christmas cards.  I don't think there are any rules that say you have to use green.  What do you think?  I like the way these two colors look together.
