This year for Christmas I made these little cards and gave them to my visiting teaching and home teaching families. They were fun to make, and I ended up making 10 of them because my mom saw them and wanted me to make her some too. I am about as beginner as you could get with these cards, but I found out that I really do enjoy making them!
This is mostly for me because I love to make cards, but after I make them I forget how I did it! So here are the instructions on how to make this card using my cricut.
I used the cartridges Just Because Cards, In the kitchen, Winterwonderland, and Alphabet for the lettering on the envelope.
Using Just Because Cartridge cut card, gingerbread man, and happy holiday paper at 5 1/2 .
For the gingerbread man I used dark brown cardstock for the base, lt. brown cardstock for the top, pink cardstock for the embelishments, and red cardstock for the buttons. I also used tuny googly eyes and purple gem stickers for the buttons.
Using Winter Wonderland Carttidge cut Seasons Greetings at 1 1/2 inch. I used dark brown for the shadow, lime green for the seasons greetings and holly, and red for the greetings and holly berries. I then cut seasons greetings shadow again at 1 3/4 with silver glitter paper and trimmed it to fit.
Using In the Kitchen cartidge cut loaf of bread at 1 3/4. I used black carstock for the shadow, dark brown for the bread, and lt, brown for the inside of the bread.
For the background of the card I just used whatever scrap I had that I thought might go with the card. On my computer I designed the words in a text box that was 4.95 inches in length by 2.95 inches in width.
For the envelope I used Just Because Cards cartridge at 5 1/2.
For the cirlce I used Alphabet at 2 inches. I used red cardstock with white underneath.
I use glue dots on just about everything with my projects.
