[Video]Artiste Mitten Christmas Cricut Card

Today's card uses the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge and the Cuttlebug to create a "knitted" mitten look.

Check out the sizing of the mittens from the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge below:
Using the Cuttlebug Fabric Swatches set (click HERE to see more about this set), I was able to create a "knitted" look to the mittens. Take a closer look below:
I used the cut below from the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge and the Holiday Tags stamp set to make the sentiment.

  2. I put my Christmas tree up before I left to go to visit my family for Thanksgiving... I ran to the store and when I came home one of my dogs decided to chew the Christmas tree light cord... So I ended up putting my tree up twice this year... PS I still Love my dogs!

  11. Like the mittens; especially the embossing for the knit look. My tree is up. Hubby had put up our tree and then Sun morn we went to Michaels and bought a new 7 1/2 ft pre-lit Conway tree that can have the lights clear, multi or alternate. We have it alternate. Our former tree which we are donating is a 7 1/2 ft pre-lit clear light tree. I like the multi-color and choice to have it alternate from clear to multi-light.

  17. No tree, yet. I, too, have cats and I'm not in any hurry to have them eat the fake needles, the tinsel and whatever else and then throw it up! Oh, and dangling ornaments are too much of a temptation to them.

  22. Cute card Joy, I love the candy cane stripes. Because we have a new puppy who is still a little on the wild side I'm not taking any chances and am not putting up a tree. I can easily picture chewed up ornaments or having the whole tree knocked over. I'll have to put one up extra early next year to make up for it.

  32. No, our tree isn't up yet, but we're going to get our tree on Monday. Yes, we do a live tree. How clever embossing the mittens.

  33. Love your knitted mittens! Soooooo cute! Have the smaller kitchen tree up with gingerbread ornaments, but the big tree is up, waiting for decorations.

  34. the mittens do look like knitting and that folder really did a good job. This is an adorable card and I love the way you added those extra colors and glitter paper to break up the long space your put your little mittens on. It helped to balance out the composition and add depth and texture to the card base. It also helped to support the paper holding the little mittens. I kept your eye moving and broke up the long shape and added an opportunity for adding more colors and contrast. Very clever of you. I have to remember that so I can use it too LOL
