Christmas in July - Day 1

Hello crafty friends this week we are celebrating Christmas in July.  I know if I want to send handmade cards I have to get started on them now.  Today I am sharing a new Snowman Box Card .

Isn't he adorable.  This card would not only be good for Christmas but would work for a winter birthday and is suitable for boys and girls.

 All my files available on Cyndy G SVG 

Thank you for stopping by.

Mr Snowman ~ with Cyndy G

Good morning and happy Friday.  Cyndy here bringing you a project from SVG Attic.  I decided to make the Snowman 3D Ensemble.  Christmas may be over but as a lot of us know winter is still here!  Here in southern NC we don't see a lot of snow and when we do get snow it comes with a big dose of ice.  As we approach the weekend we are waiting once again for an ice storm so I thought this little snowman would make a good plea for snow :)

I think he is just adorable and he really wasn't hard to put together.  This is a project that could be completed in a day.

Doesn't he have the cutest face.  I just love his crooked smile.  The kit does come with a bow but I decided I wanted to use some ribbon I had on hand.  I thought it fit him perfect.  Thank you for stopping by.

Christmas Tags ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Christmas Eve.  If any of you are like me you are doing some last minute projects.  I decided I wanted some cute tags to go on my gifts this year and I choose a file from My Scrap Chick - Sweet Winter Faces.  These were perfect.  There are very few pieces so they went to together very quickly!

Added bonus - they are super cute!

I used Trendy Twine to attach them to the packages and I added a circle to the back of each to write on.  You could also use the piece in the file that makes them a card and write inside that.  I made these smaller than the original file - I sized them to 4 inches.

I just love how these turned out.

I also used the Owl Love U file.  You can't see them but this paper has owls on it.

Thank you for stopping by.  I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Snowman Tree ~ with Cyndy G

Hello, today I am sharing a project that I am very proud of.  A Snowman Christmas tree made with files from SVG Attic.  I used the Mourners Hat from JGW Raven Quest, Elements from JGW Frosty Topper and the eyes and mouth pieces of the snowman in SDS Ice Princess Party.

This was really easy to make! I used an 18" Styrofoam ball I got at Hobby Lobby, black balls and a scarf.  The rest I made from the files mentioned above. 

This is in my office at work and I have to admit he puts a smile on everyone's face that comes in.  I just love him.  Thank you for stopping by today.

Snowman Box ~ with Cyndy G

Hello today I wanted to share a project I made using SVG Cuts files.  It was designed by Kathy Helton - Frosty Flake Snowman.  I have wanted to make him for some time now and finally had a chance.  I love him.  He looks great in bright colors!

The paper I used was an old DCWV stack I've had for several years.

Doesn't he have the cute face?  Thank you for stopping by.

Snowman Box Card

Hello today I am sharing a Snowman Box Card from JGW Made of Snow.  I made several of these little cuties.  I just love this card!

These cards went together so quickly.  I inked the edges of the snowmen to give them a little more dimension.  I also modified mine a little bit.  I welded a "flap" to the front of my card instead of using the hearts.  If I can keep up with making my cards this year I should be able to send out handmade cards to everyone on my list!

Thank you for stopping by.

Frosty the Snowman ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday!  Today for my post I wanted to share my Snowman canister.  Some of my favorite files to work with are the canister characters!  He is from the JGW Winter Friends Canister Kit.  I love this guy, he is so cute.

I decided to use some tan paper with snowflakes I had for this project.  I really like the way he came out.  What I love most about these files is you can use traditional colors or try something different and still come out with a stunning finished product.

I love all his little details.  His scarf, glove and snowflake to top off his hat.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you have a great weekend!

Here is the project I created for this hop:

Christmas is my favorite time of year.  I love all the decorations!  I especially like snowmen.  So I created one for you today.

I made him using the SDS 3D Cake Box Kit as my snowman.  It worked perfectly!  I used my snowflake embossing folder on the cake panels and chalked them with blue to help it pop.

I used the Leprechaun Hat from the SDS Charmingly Green Kit for the hat.

And the SDS Ice Princess Party Pack for the snowman's face, arms and buttons.  I love the detail in the cute little carrot nose and that the eyes and buttons are not perfectly round to give them the look of coal.  Finally, I added a little piece of holly from the Winter Fun Photo Props and some cute snowman ribbon I found on clearance last year.  

Here is a list of the kits I used:

It's a Frozen Party

Anyone who has a little girl right now knows that they want everything Frozen.  So it came as no surprise to me when my daughter, who is 4 yrs old told me she wants a Frozen party.

So I decided to change the Sweet Shop Party kit into a Snowball Shop by using elements from the SDS Ice Princess Party Pack and Cozy Christmas Captions.

I added a snowflake from the gift bag  to side of the shop.  To cut the design into the side panel place the snowflake where you want it, then ungroup the file.  Once you have the object ungrouped select the outer most circle and delete it.  Now when you cut the panel you will have the design cut into the piece not just a big circle.  I cut a snowflakes in a dark blue to place on the outside.  I liked the look of the snowflake turned a little so it wasn't exactly lined up.

I made a "build a snowman" treat bag using the place card.

Finally, I made up some of the cracker boxes and popcorn cups for treats to complete my party favors.

Here is a list of the kits I used:

Sweet Shop Party Kit 
SDS Ice Princess Party Pack
Cozy Christmas Captions

The paper I used was Winter Fun by Carta Bella, it is available in digital format.  Until next time.
