What's New at Cre8ive Cutz

Now that Halloween is behind us, I'm starting to think about Christmas. I'm not one of those people who is ready for Christmas before the kids go back to school (don't know how they do it!) since I prefer to put off thoughts of winter as long as possible! But we just got our first snowfall yesterday that stuck to the ground, so I guess there's no getting around it.Here's a sweet little gingerbread man I cooked up for you, he'll be perfect on your Christmas cards or scrapbook pages about holiday baking, or even hang him from your tree!...

I had so much fun playing with this week's Mojo Monday sketch! Here's the sketch for this week:I bought a little pad of patterned Halloween papers by Recollections called Midnight Magic on the weekend, and was itching to create with it. So I went crazy with patterned paper, distressing, sewing and inking, did a little cutting using Make the Cut!, added a bit of bling to finish it off and here's what I came up with (the bats are actually popped up, although it's difficult to tell in the photo):Happy early Halloween everyone! LOL

{{This freebie has expired.}}  Ug, I had intended to get this post up yesterday for World Cardmaking Day, but life got in the way and it didn't happen unfortunately. So here is my post- World Cardmaking Day project. LOLI have a little card box for you, it holds 3x3 cards (and you can get 8 of them out of a single sheet of 12x12 paper, perfect for this box!). It's quite simple to make, just two pieces plus the optional flower for the front closure. The pictures below show the box with paper flowers that I colored, but the assembly...

In addition to designing my more elaborate files (purses, etc.) I often turn to Make the Cut! to quickly create simpler shapes for my card making projects, rather than spending a ton of money on large punches. For this card, I've created a simple nested shape that I used on the front and inside of the card to stamp my image and greeting on. This video tutorial demonstrates how to create nested shapes in Make the Cut! Enjoy!
