Charms

For another swap on the Cricut MB with robin as the host, we were to make 4  Chunky Christmas charms. For these I used the Tim Holtz swivel clasps and added beads and charms along with other things that I thought looked cute.
I decided to make 1 green, 1 red, 1 blue and then the last one a combo of red & green.  Somehow, I now have a large collection of beads :)

I don't know who will be getting these but I hope you like them!!!!!

Tags

I finished these tags for a partner swap on the Cricut Message Board.
We were to make a total of 4 and the themes were Christmas, snowman, angel and New year's.
while I am not thrilled with my New Year's one, I do like all the rest. 2 I made exactly the same and the others are a bit different.
If you would like any information on how I made these or the materials I use, just post in the comments and I will respond.
I just realized I took the ics before I added the ribbons. Sorry!!!

Good morning

 I have been super busy crafting!!!! ATC's, Tags, Dress forms, frames, charms & stickpins, & even some cards.
 Unfortunatley, most of the items are for swaps that aren't due yet so I don't want to post and ruin the surprise.
I will however be posting soon so please check back.

Swap

We have been receiving items from Crystals Swap on the Cricut MB so I thought I would post a couple that I sent to my partner Princess Jamie.
We were supposed to stick to one theme and Jamie liked pink, frilly & bling so I went with that


Here are a couple pictures of the mini that I made.  Jamie also likes Shabby Chic, but I  really didn't know how to do that so I kinda combined her colors with vintage!!!!!
Hopefully she likes them both.
The last picture is my shoe and stickpins that I made. For my first attempt, I think they all came out cute.

Dress forms

Here is the Dress form that goes with the 2 Christmas Tags for Jana's Swap on the Cricut Message board.!!!
I used the MS leaf punch to punch out all the pieces to make the skirt. I cut the dress out of red sparkly felt and then covered it with the leaves. I used Glimmer mist on the skirt and base(lightly on the base)
I added a flower at the waistband to finish it off. I tried adding a necklace of some type but didn't like it, so this is the finished product.

Time goes by so fast!!!It seems like I just posted my dress forms for  the Blog Hop.

This time I have a couple tags to share with you. These will be for a swap on the Cricut MB.
We have to make Christmas and Vintage Christmas tags along with a Dress Form. That is still in the works so I'll post it another time.
My first one is quite simple but I love how it came out. I used blue paper with snowflakes and then stamped it  with 2 stamps that I had. I then heat embossed it with winter wonderland powder. Simple but nice for a Christmas tag or gift card holder.

Next is my Vintage Christmas tag.

I actually got this idea while looking for a Santa image to use on another project. I guess you could say that I scraplifted it.

I found the bell image online, rounded the edges, inked it with Vintage Photo Distress ink and added it to the green dotted background paper. I cut the "N" twice with chipboard and then once with paper. I inked this also.  I  then added scrabble tiles for the other 3 letters to spell "Noel" A final inking around the tag edge and I was done. I also added a red ribbon thru the hole in the top but took the picture before. oops!



 

Dress forms

I hope you all enjoyed the Dress Form Blog Hop!!!!!  If you missed it, click on the tag to the right.
I had such a great time making those tags that I joined another Dress Form Swap on the Cricut Message Board.
This time we had to make just the dress form (with out a tag) and a dangle charm to match.  We could pick from different themes. I was all set to do Christmas as my theme and then decided to just make it "Holiday Attire"
I made all the dresses the same but in different colors. I used suede paper, stickles and the Happily Ever After cartridge to cut the dress. (It is Cinderella's) I  used the TH Sewing die for the forms but they were a bit too big so I altered them to fit my dress.
I have 1 more dangle to finish to go with my Black & Silver dress and then I will post that one also.
I have Blue with blue, Red with gold and then Red with silver.  I made matching tags to attach the dangles charms to.
