Christmas Bauble ...

I love shaped cards and was totally thrilled to find that on my Cricut Christmas Cheer cartridge you can cut a bauble shape that actually folds to make a card. I was going to cut two baubles and link them in some way, but no need after all. Great stuff!

I know the Cricut Design Studio would allow me to weld things, but for some reason I've not got round to uploading it yet. I must soon cause it will open a whole new way of cutting things out with far less waste.

My image is another of the Lofty Celebrations stamps by Joanna Sheen. I think this one is particularly cute. It's so nice to see a dad and baby together decorating the tree. I used Promarkers to colour the image and then matted it on to a scalloped nestie circle. The 'Christmas Wishes' sentiment is from the same set of stamps.

Glad to be able to join in at Fab's Big Christmas Card Challenge again this week where the theme is 'baubles' and at Creative Inspirations they are still working on 'Christmas in October.

Have a great day everyone.

Hi Ann. Love the idea of the shaped card. Makes a nice change from square and long ones. I counted how many C. cards I have made so far and it comes to 28. Just a few more with the beautiful Kanban scenes and that's it. Back to birthday cards I think.

love and hugs

This is an awesome shaped card! I love this. I love card making, it sure beats string art and macrame in the 70s!!! Have a great day, have fun with your new MTF order coming!

It's a great image Ann and the Cricut looks to be a good piece of kit. For someone like me, who is scissorly challenged, it would be a godsend.
