What's New at Cre8ive Cutz — Christmas

Yesterday I posted some free Gift Tag cutting files, and I've challenged myself to get a little creative with them, and hopefully inspire you a little bit as well! So here is my first gift tag. If you want to play along, the supplies you will need are: Card stock to cut the gift tags, preferably two coordinating colors Embossing folder & embosser (I used the Swiss Dots folder by Provocraft and my Sizzix Texture Boutique) A large square of tulle A snowflake embellishment (I used the snowflake from this gift tag freebie, the video explains how I dressed it up)...

I remember when I was little, my grandma used to make me those knitted mittens on a string, the string went up one arm, across my back and down my other arm with a mitten on each end, so I would never lose them.  They worked!  Those mittens were the inspiration for the Mittens cutting file and the little card I made using the file.First the card. I used some bulk white and blue cardstock to make the card. The background is embossed using a ProvoCraft swirly embossing folder (love my Texture Boutique!). The mittens were cut out of white...

These are a couple more cards I made last weekend. I thought it would be fun to make a Christmas present card, the printed paper is from K & Company. I used Make the Cut! to create the tag, grunged it up a bit with some Tim Holtz distress ink and embossed the sentiment and little holly. The ribbon is wired, which makes it nice and easy to give the bow its shape.For this card, I used printed paper by K & Company again (they came out with a couple mini paper pads for Christmas that are perfect for cardmaking)....

My sister came over on Sunday and we had a great afternoon crafting together. I got a good start on my Christmas cards, so I'll post pics over the next few days. Here's the first one I'd like to share. I made this using my free Christmas Lights cutting file.To stitch the "cord" for the lights, I penciled the line in, then sewed over it on my sewing machine using gold thread. I used dimensional foam adhesive to pop up the lights. The greeting is a Craft Smart stamp I picked up at Michaels, embossed with gold powder.Hope you like...

**I apologize, if you downloaded the file previously, the wrong file was linked. It has been fixed. I'm getting a few things ready for a scrapbooking / cardmaking day with my sister today, so thought I'd share this little Christmas light I made to use on a card.  Hope you like it, and watch later today for some pics! {{This freebie has expired}} Also, don't forget about the Lettering Delights sale that's on for two more days, you can read all about it here.
