For my first project I am sharing, I used my Silhouette machine and made these adorable Snowman box, Santa card, and small gift box from SVG Cuts Christmas Open House set. The Snowman was not hard when you actually watch Mary put it together and not try to do it on your own. One thing I like is she shows you exactly how each fold goes and makes it easier. The hat comes off and you can fill with a treat. The card was super easy and I used the cuttlebug to emboss his beard and mustache. The box is actually one piece of cardstock and the band slides off and you can fill it with goodies. Makes great boxes for some candy when you want to give someone a little gift without breaking the budget!!!
Now this is my favorite project of all. I made this for my granddaughter Mary-Kate because she loves the Elf movie. Now a few others in the family want one too lol. I used my Silhouette Cameo for this project too and purchased the files at the Silhouette store. I used the verse file#36164 and the elf feet file#23767. I used HTV and my heat press. The red is glitter vinyl which makes it pop. Pictures do not do this justice at all.
Well this is a last minute quick project. I got a Cricut Explore this week and made these two projects very quickly. I used the canvas design to lay out the bag and the picture which is a feature I like. The bag the images are from Stretch Your Imagination and TC December 25. The picture is cardstock and the images are from TC December 25 and the frame is from Dollar Tree. Nice inexpensive gift for someone. Since I had only done the card you make when you start the Explore, not too bad. I then ventured with svg files that you saw in my Sunday project.
