Exploring Cricut ~ It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Welcome to another fun bi-weekly challenge at Exploring Cricut.  This time we are rejoicing that

"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

We want to see your card, layout or paper craft incorporating your favorite Christmas idea!

For me that has to be treat boxes!  I love filling them with little treats and hanging them on our tree!  It is so fun to create cute packaging for simple gifts.  My "Santa" box came from Tags, Bags, Boxes & More and Accent Essentials. 

 

Cricut Cuts

 

Buckle - Accent Essentials - 1.25 inches - pg. 78 (gold card stock)

Box - Tags, Bags, Boxes and More - 5.75 inches - pg. 115 (red card stock)

 

I scored all lines and put the box together with ScorTape.  I then cut a 1 inch strip of black card stock and adhered it to the box.  I placed the gold buckle on top and for added interest shredded some cotton balls.  I then glued them around the edges!  Super easy!  Now I just have to stuff if with some Hershey kisses!  Yum!

 

Thanks for stopping by!   Don't forget to visit Exploring Cricut for all the challenge details and to see what the other designers have created! 

 

Until next time...  Blessings!

Exploring Cricut ~ Daily Post ~ Trick or Treat!

Welcome to another GLORIOUS Friday! 

 

I have this particular one off so you may just see me dance a jig!  :-)  So while you are attempting to get that goofy visual image out of your head you might want to glance at my Exploring Cricut treat bucket project this week...

The treat bucket may be found on Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I cut each at 6.5 inches. Mr. Mummy got an extra layer of distressed white crepe paper. I added a bit of adhesive spray to get it to stick! The fun faces (cut at 2 inches) are from my Pumpkin Carving cart that I always seem to forget about! Super fun and super easy! I think I see a Frankenstein in my future... Thanks for stopping by!
