Baby Onsies

I hope everyone had a great holiday! For Christmas, I made some onsies for some friends for their new baby. I used my Cricut and Make-The-Cut software to design and cut stencils out of freezer paper. Then I just pained it on with acrylic paint mixed with the medium that makes the paint washable. They have a great dane and the 'paddle faster' is an inside joke. I'm hoping to post at least 2 of the MTC files along with a giveaway soon. Be sure to follow me if you're not. It will be a requirement of the giveaway.

Have a happy new year.

Wintery Cupcake

I have a tough final exam tomorrow night so I haven't been doing much crafting. I did send off my can for the Craftster Once You Pop Swap. One of the things I included was a little cupcake in winter colors. It's made from polymer clay coated in glossy Modge Podge with some medium glitter sprinkles. I made a second, slightly larger one for myself that is currently residing on my Christmas tree. I also made a few tags for my partner. Once is shown in the second photo.

Cricut Christmas Card + free file

This is the first card I made using the Make the Cut software for my Cricut. I'm fairly pleased with how it came out except I think the papers are a little too busy.

The .mtc file is included below. There is one layer for the top of the card and a second, unscored, layer for the card base. Just fold the base in half, and stick the top on.
