Now on to my project!
This project needs some work. Practice makes perfect!
This is a stand up card. I got this idea from Karen Squires-Stampinbythebay blog. I've been trying different ones for a Christmas card class that I'm going to do in November.
I used the Swan Lake paper, Whisper cardstock, Shimmer ribbon(Z4012),  C1655 Thankful for you stamp set with the Thin Cuts. Swan Lake complements(X7212C) Saddle, Cashmere, Fern and Peacock Exclusive inks. I added some fussy cut bugs and frog from a retired stamp set(A1188) Hello Sunshine.

The middle section lifts up to see this message and it tucks under  the Thanks which holds the middle down.

 Now on to my project!

You know when you have this great idea in your mind and you starting cutting out the pieces with your Cricut machine and then you step away and it gets all caught up!!! Anyway, it was an overlay so I salvaged a couple pieces and this is what I created with one of them.

I used Seaglass cardstock(X5789) , CTMH Cricut City Sidewalks Digital Collection(Z4017), City Sidewalks WYW(G1114)

For this card I attached part of the overlay underneath a piece of City Sidewalks paper(X7213B). The paper was textured with the Edge Distresser(Z1297). I cut the Winter Wonderland tag from the City Sidewalks cartridge and popped it up with the 3D tape. The snowflakes are also from the City Sidewalks Cricut cartridge.

If you are interested in any of the products represented here, contact your local CTMH Consultant.

The first card is a 5X7" card. I used the City Sidewalks paper pack(X7213B), The star from the Stamp of the Month, White Daisy cardstock inked with Fern and Ruby Exclusive inks using a retired stamp set (D1562) and silver sequins. The stars were embossed with Ranger embossing powder(Z2067) and Recollections tinsel embossing powder. The sentiment is from Woodland Wishes(D1696).


The second card is a 4X5.5" card. I also used the City Sidewalks paper pack. The Daisy White cardstock is popped up with 3D foam tape.  I used the presents from the Stamp of the Month. I covered up parts of the stamp so I could give the presents dimension. I embossed all presents with the Ranger silver embossing powder and tinsel and green pearl embossing powder from Recollections. The bows were made with retired bakers twine and some twine from my stash. The branches from the tree are from a die cut from my stash. The sparkles are retired CTMH. The stars on the presents were colored with Golden Yellow Touch twin markers.
The sentiment was also embossed and is from the Stamp of the Month. I added some closer looks as my photography is not the greatest.
