Season of Joy Holiday House

Hello there, and Happy New Year!

I have been waiting for this day, because it is the day that I am free to show you my Holiday House.  It was made using my Season of Joy Cricut digital collection.  It was an exclusive Close To My Heart digital cartridge that has since sold out, so I hope that you got yours!

Anyway, I started with two of the 3D houses on the cartridge and married them together to get this shorter, stouter, more embellished house.  I used cardstock from the Tis the Season paper suite, along with some Gold and White Glitter Cardstock and some Vellum too.

I should also mention that the little greenery boughs and gold flowers were cut from my Decorative Border Thin Cuts.

The Cricut Design Space file is going to be given to my girls that joined my Exclusive Season of Joy Project Group.  (For more information, please click here to view the related blog post.)

CTMH ‘Tis the Season Card Set

Do you need some quick cards to give for Christmas?  I created these cute little Tis the Season 4"x 4" cards after coming across this week's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge on Facebook.  It has been some time since I have participated in one of their challenges, but I am going to do so more often now.  Such great inspiration!!!

All of the cards began with a base 8"x 4" piece of Charcoal cardstock that I folded in half.  I layered on a 3.75" square of Tis the Season patterned cardstock, another .5" strip across the middle, and circular sentiment pieces cut from our Basic Circles and Stitched Circles Thin Cuts.  The circles were cut from Candy Apple cardstock and the very subtle gray cardstock with white snowflakes out of the Tis the Season patterned cardstock as well.

I stamped in those circles using the Holiday Sparkle stamp set, which is currently still available only while supplies last, in the Holiday Sparkle Shaker Card Bundle.  It has to be among my favorites in our CTMH Holiday Expressions book this time around.

For embellishment, I added a bow to each card made from our White and Gold Skinny Ribbon.  Using our new Decorative Borders Thin Cuts, I cut out the greenery from the Fern colored patterned cardstock located, guess where, in the Tis the Season pack of course!
