Christmas Tag Box ~ 25 Days

Another relaxing project completed for the month of December. A box of 25 Christmas Tags each numbered and decorated with pockets, a few notepads added for shopping lists and the backs have room for recipes or just lists of favorites.

Once again ScanNCut saves the day and does all the fussy-cutting!

If interested, you can find the project over at My Porch Prints. I did alter mine a bit and added other images and found just the right wooden box to store them in.

'Cricut' Cards

These are the first cards I created with my Cricut Explore 3. They have a vast library of projects to choose from in their Design Space.

 I chose to make a few cards using Cricut Fine Point (0.4mm) Markers. It was amazing to watch as it drew the delicate designs. And of course there was some cutting involved in crafting the cards as well.

I'm loving my new Cricut!

Blizzard Books

I crafted these Blizzard Books following a Hedi Kyle design. Only 1 paper measuring 13"x 29" to fold each book. Used Kraft Wrapping Paper at 30" x 120". No sewing or adhesives!

You can make them in a variety of sizes. My finished size is 4"W x 6"H. I used them to hold a variety of handmade papers. Great gift for a paper lover! You can store ATC cards, photos or make a smaller size and you can store business cards.

Excellent tutorial by Paula B Krieg.
