 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

Challenge #341-Christmas
Make a project using anything Christmas related. But there has to be a least one cut from the Cricut Library!

The FCCB Design Team is sponsoring a $25 gift card at

Amazon!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

Here is my project-

My first card was the one on the right. I inked up a white cardstock panel with Distress Oxides (Black Soot, salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blue Print Sketch). I used the Reindeer Snow cut from Holiday Cards 14, and kept the pieces from the panel. I then added clear sequins from Hero Arts (Winter Mix) for some sparkle. The second card was made by adding the reindeer cut pieces to a white cardstock panel embossed with snowflakes (Darice). I added the tiny blue sequins from the same Hero Arts Winter Mix, then mounted the panel onto a matching blue piece of blue cardstock, then onto white cardstock. So I got a two-fer with one cut!

Make sure to enter for a chance at the Amazon gift card. This will be the last challenge at FCCB, but I want to thank my team mates of the last four years for all their hard work and dedication. You will be missed!

Here is my project-

I wanted a simple decor item for Thanksgiving, and I love this. My piece of advice is to buy the frame first, then cut the file to fit! I couldn't find a frame in the different size this came out to be, so I had to trim about 1/2" off the sides to get it to fit! Here is a short material list-

1. Cricut cut: Home for the Holidays-Fall & Winter.
2. Paper: gold, dark orange cardstock.

Pumpkin as a lantern-

and when it's not lit-

I decided that I wanted a pumpkin as a Thanksgiving centerpiece this year, and decided to make this 3d pumpkin box into a lantern! This pumpkin is from It's Fall in the Details, and instead of yellow paper on the inserts I used vellum (colored yellow with my Copics). I altered the size to about 8" total height. I used a LED light from Amazon (it has a remote!) and it really glows!

Here is my project-

with light-

This is a Dreaming Tree file called Rocket Lantern, and was very easy to use after I learned a couple of things! The only thing you have to do with the SVG file is attach the score lines, so that when you cut the lantern pieces the score lines match up! Dreaming Tree tells you exactly how to do that here. So I cut, glued, and assembled until I got the rocket and base done. I chose to make sparklers for my decorations instead of metallic pipe cleaners, so I flattened the Sparkler from Summer Celebrations, made a mirror image, then printed and cut them. There are six sparklers with 6 mirror images. I thought that by gluing them together they would stand up by themselves-NOT! So I took some black wire I had and glued it to the back of the sparkler, then went through the holes and taped the wire down. Don't finish the bottom of the base until everything else is done! But i like the way the sparklers turned out! I did order the same tealight that Dreaming Tree uses, and they are awesome! After the 4th of July I'll use the tealight in something else so I can enjoy it.

I made this paper sculpture for my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day. I used the Dreaming Tree Hummingbird Paper Sculpture to make this, and it was so easy! I love the tutorials the owner, Leo Kowal, does-it makes it so easy to put together! The pearls ere from my stash, and the background paper is some old CTMH cardstock I inherited. The tag is from Cricut Access from Draw + Cut Everyday tags, and I used scraps of white and blue to make it. The frame is one I bought a long time ago, so I don't know where I bought it!

Front

Back

I chose to make this box card from SVG Cuts called Box Cards SVG Kit.  I added two Cricut cuts to it-the Happy Mothers Day sentiment from Florals Embellished, and the envelope on the back from Tags, Bags, and More. The papers are from Lili of the Valley (UK Company-magazine freebie!), along with scraps from my stash. I added pearls to all of the flowers centers (stash remnants), and added white accents to the boring green flower (white Uni-ball Signo gel pen). I found a nice Mothers Day poem on the internet and printed it on regular copy paper, trimmed, folded, and stamped MOM (Paper Smooches Pretty Momma set, Forest Moss Distress Oxide Ink) to insert into the envelope on back. Let's face it, box cards don't have a lot of room for poems!

Make a Mother's Day card for a mom in your life-she'll love you for it!
