Sweetest Wishes Candy Cane Card with Cricut Gingerbread Mini

Have you heard that another set of Christmas Cricut mini cartridges are being released?  They are all super cute...check them out HERE!

I used the Cricut Gingerbread Christmas Mini cartridge - here is a look at the back of the cartridge:

I decided to make a 4-1/2" x 6" card to give myself some room to work.  I cut the candy cane at 2-3/4" and it was such an easy cut with only two layers.  I had some of the new SEI Kris Kringle paper that went perfectly with the candy cane - it's SO CUTE!!

The stamps are from Papertrey ink and the label is from Spellbinders. I pop dotted the candy cane section.

Here is a quick shot of the inside:

Join me later today for the announcement of the winner for the Pink Expression!  Tomorrow, you can check out more new projects!

Have a great day!

Happy Day with SEI and another Giveaway!

It's Wednesday and wait until you see this super cute paper line from SEI called Happy Day! This paper is so cheerful and fun! And the embellishments are fantastic! I feel happier just looking at it!

I was able to whip up this 4" x 9" card in no time because the paper and embellishments just flew together. Everything matches just perfectly! I love a card this size since it fits in a standard business size envelope. I love keeping things standard sizes - it's the engineer in me, for sure!



The top section collaged paper is called Happy Day and was cut at 4" x 6" and inked with Papertrey Ink. The "happy birthday" is cut from a series of borders that come in a pack (see below). What I love is that someone was really thinking and all the border pieces nicely cut into 4" sections - VERY IMPRESSIVE. Often, that kind of detail gets overlooked during the design process. The candles on the glitter paper was another border section, again nicely designed so it cuts at the 4" mark.



I love to finish off the inside so I added an inner layer of yellow (cut at 3 3/4" x 8 3/4"). Then I topped it with a dimensional embellishment - quick and easy!

Now, onto the giveaway!

Here's the prize package - a large Happy Day paper pack with embellishment sheets, Happy Day borders, epoxy stickers and dimensional elements!

Project and Giveaway from SEI Paper!

This card is made from a new paper line called Claire from SEI, a company that sponsors Everyday Cricut! WOW! If you thought the SEI line Juliette was gorgeous, Claire is even more beautiful! Each paper has tons of shimmer and shine!

Today, Wednesday and Friday will feature projects made from SEI's paper lines called Claire, Happy Day and Jocelyn!

This card is a 5 1/2" square card made using Core'dinations cardstock as a base. On top of that, I layered a 5 1/4" square of Claire paper called Vivacious. Then, I created a brown tag using the Winsome paper and tied some Claire ribbon around it. Layered on top of that is a scalloped square combo cut from the Cricut Mini Monograms cartridge at 4" with matching white interior square.

On top of that, I made a three layer flower from the Chiplet packet from the Claire line. I pop dotted the top flower to give it a bit of dimension.

Finally, I mounted a button from Papertrey Ink that had a sentiment tied to it, also from Papertrey Ink's Mega Mixed Messages stamp set.

The inside was dressed up modestly with a strip from the Vivacious paper.

So, who wants to win a 12x12 paper pad of Claire paper? With some matching embellishments?
