Card Set

I started out just making one card, but then decided to turn the design into a set. I ised my Cuttlebug for all of the embossing.

From our family to yours

Today's card represents our family of 3; my husband, me, and our daughter. I have always loved Christmas with Halloween as a close second. I used my Cricut to cut-out the images. I used Sweater Weather for the stockings and Christmad Cheer for the fireplace.

Winter Fun

I used the Jolly Holiday cartridge and Sweater Weather cartridge for this card. For the snow
I just ripped some white paper.

Thanksgiving Feast

Today I made a Thanksgiving card. The turkey was cut from the Create A Critter 2 cartridge.

Back to carding

I am not at home quite yet, but thanks to my wonderful husband I have some of my tools where I am at. I am going to take things slow when it comes to cards and my blog. I may not be on everyday as I have therapy to do, but I will do what I can when I have free time. Today I chose to make a Christmas card. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays.

I used my Cuttlebug to create a snowy background.

I used 3 different cartridges for this card.
The bear is from Create
A Critter 2.
The phrase is from Christmas
Cheer.

The present is from Sweater
Weather.

Explaination

Hi, I am Brandon. I have been referred to in previous blogs as Jessica's husband.  I am just putting it out there that Jessica will not being doing any blogs for a while. Jessica currently needs to focus on her health and well being. I know when Jessica is ready she will continue this blog because she enjoys doing it and sharing her creative ideas.

Secret Door

The card base is 5" x 8". It is scored at 2", 4", and 6". It is then folded in half and cut from the fold line to the score line at 1 1/4", 2 1/2", and 3 3/4".

The 2 pieces of paper that are weaved in the slots are cut a 1 15/16 (1 tick mark less than 2") x 5"

This is how the card looks when you weave the pieces of paper in and it's completely open.

This is the card when it's closed (semi-closed in my picture). You can add an embellishment to help keep it closed.

Here is what the card looks like when you open the secret door.
