Trim the Tree Bears

Here is my Design Team post today for Papercraftingworld
Today I am making Christmas presents ---I have 2 12x12 pictures to be framed and given as gifts.
I love Melinda's bears but I went nuts for this Flourished Tree as soon as I cut one!
My title and bears are from the Bears-W-Ornaments-SET-cf and the tree is Tree-Flourished-v12-CF

As you can see, I made 2 at the same time.  I had some color shaded paper -I cut out the tree and had an OMG idea, then I cut the 2nd one and inset them into the opposite page.  I used gold vellum behind the tree and cut the star from Cricut.  The santa hat was a die from Cottage Cutz and fit perfectly!!  I made the 2nd set of bears  POLAR, and they turned out sooo cute!

I shaded the bears with my Pebbles chalks ( these are one of my favorite things to shade)

I added a little gel pen and glossy accents to the faces and I have some 12x12 frames to make 2 awesome gifts!!

***I am loving the tree file ---- there is a bonus to cutting these....

I had these awesome flourish pieces left over - I will be using them on cards and scrapbook pages.

SNOW FUN

Hello Crafty Friends - Here is my Design Team Post today for
Papercraftingworld.com
I changed things up a bit and did a 2 page scrapbook layout.
No snow yet in the Poconos but I couldn't resist this super cute  Snow-Fun-Title-CF, which I paired with the Snowflake-Layout-Set-CF.

These files are so fun to design with. You are only limited by your imagination.
I Started with the title and accented the face and the snow with a snow marker.

Here is a close up of the title!

 I Loved the little snowman face so much I cut him out a couple more times for the 2nd page!
I coordinated the colored snowflakes ( especially like the pink ones!!) for both pages.
I took the biggest snowflake and cut the corners down.  Then die cut a circle to make a 2nd spot for a picture! 
I added a couple sprinkles (from Doodlebug) and a couple snowflake sequins.
ALL done - super simple, and super cute.

I hope I inspired you to go out and be crafty!!  
Check out our November Challenge  ( I cant seem to get the red in there this month.)

Here is the September Challenge:

For my Optional Twist I stamped the Sentiment and the Butterfly.

I cut the flowers out a couple times and curled them with my stylus, then doubled them up to give them depth.

I Glittered all the flowers, (I love the Glitter)

Big News- I am part of the new Design Deam for Paper Crafting World!! A big thanks to Melinda Beltran for giving me the opportunity!

Some projects from the Lady Cage

THE LADY CAGE

Kelli Horger

 

 

 

 1st is the cover and 2 pages of dividers from a Recipe Book I made for my daughter, who is a Chef.  I used mostly the cricut cartridge "from my kitchen" I embellished with glitter glue and glossy accents and used Washi tape to reinforce the edges.

 

 

Next was my 1st attempt at a window card. I didn't have the Madison window that inspired the idea, but I got a window on design space - embossed it and attached with 3d foam for the same appearance.  The siding is just overlapping strips of paper. I filled the windowbox with tiny flowers and stems cut from the cricut.

 

 

Next is a collage of some paper flowers, made from the cricut and embellished with distress ink, glitter, and shimmer mist.  The background is pastels and I attached the flowers so it can be framed in a shadowbox or in a frame without glass.

 

 

Lastly is a premade card left to suit any occasion, as needed. The bear is from cricut teddy bear parade and she is embellished with chalk and gel pens.  I placed her on some contrasting color and patterned paper to make the colors on the bear pop.
