More Christmas gifts.

 I have a couple of friends at work that I try to make something for each year.  I made a small box out of the CTMH Artiste cartridge to put a small Christmas ornament in that I bought for each while on vacation in Vermont this year.

Then, I made each of them a set of 4x4 cards and envelopes and the box to keep them in.  The box I made using my Envelope Punch Board.  Then decorated the outside of each the same way.

The base of each card set is the same color, I just did

each card differently.

 

 

 

I thought they came out rather cute.  Hope they like them!

Another Christmas gift for my mother

I've shared so things in the past that I've made for my mother. I try to make them very tactile for her because she looks at them over and over again.  Each time, she finds something that she didn't notice before and that makes it new again.

The book came from the Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge.  Most of the items inside came from the same cartridge or CTMH Art Philosophy.  Other cartridges from Cricut that were used are: Lacy Labels, Elegant Edges and Botanicals.

 Inside the card with the dove:

 

 

 Inside the heart card:

 

 The card on the left is one of my favorite 'little' cards to make.  It opens up

and shows what's inside.  Sorry for the glare there, it's a Bible verse.

 

It's nothing really elaborate, but it does give her pleasure.



Gift Card Holder

Here's a simple gift card holder that I made for a couple of my bosses.

 

The template for the card is found of

Close to My Heart's Artiste cartridge.

I think the label and frame if from the same cartridge,

but it's possible it might be from Cricut's Elegant Edges.

 

 

Now, while you can leave the 'card holding' area free standing

I decided to stick it down to the back side.  (These are for guys, so

I kept it pretty simple.

 

I added another label inside (Cricut's Lacy Labels cartridge) to sign, and I

added a small Christmas tree for decor.

 

The I used the Envelope punch board to make an

envelope to go with them.  And I embossed their names

on the outside of the envelopes.

 

Simple enough.
