Create a Critter 2 - Creation #7

I made another Christmas card using the "Create a Critter 2" cartridge today.  This time I made a shaped easel card with my cut.




The cut I used was the Christmas present found on page 71, it is the icon feature.  I cut it at 5," and also used the shadow feature for it.  I then cut a card base to fit behind the present and folded it to make an easel card.

I used a metal die from My Craft Spot to create my scalloped circle tag.  I cut all the layers with the variety of dies on the "Tiny Doilies Metal Dies" set.  I also used a My Craft Spot stamp for the "no peeking" sentiment, stamped in merlot ink by ColorBox..  It is from the "Stampin' Around Christmas" set.  I added a stocking charm to the middle of the tag with some blossom twine from The Twinery.  I adhered the tag with a glue dot at the top and pop-dots at the bottom for some interesting dimension.

I cut some mats using the same colors I used on the present.  I added a final white mat where I put my sentiment.  The sentiment is from the "Mistletoe" stamp set, also by My Craft Spot.  The presents to either side are from the "Stampin' Around Christmas" set.  The sentiment was stamped in merlot ink and the presents in olive ink, both by ColorBox.  I finished off the card with a green gem above the sentiment as my stopper for the present, when it is standing open.


I made this for the following challenges:
365 Cards: "Day 301" - add elements that begin with "c" (Christmas present, charm, circles)
Color Throwdown: old olive, close to cocoa, blushing bride, cherry cobbler
Christmas Card Challenges: bows (bow on present, bow from twine)
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown: fancy fold cards
Die Cuttin' Divas: anything goes
