I made this explosion gift box for my husbands 39th birthday. He really loved it and it was the best combo of gift card holder and card. This great idea and inspiration came from Denise Hill of Paper Pastime. Her video was so very easy to follow and it came out perfect. Thanks Denise!

Here are a few cards that I've made over the past few days. I got all of the inspiration for these cards from Christmas with the Cricut blog. They are truly so very creative and have some wonderful guest designers. Thank you ladies.

Isn't he too cute! I made this card for Pixie Dust Studios very first Pixie challenge. I just love this little Santa and his stowaway. You can visit their challenge blog and get him HERE. The challenge was to use the Santa image and use texture too. So I have used stickles on Santa, on the bag and on the snowflakes. I'm so very new at the card making thing but am getting a great deal of inspiration from many creative ladies and their blogs. Thank you for looking and Happy Holidays.

Here are the newest cards that I made. I found a great youtube video and scrap lifted. Aren't they fun. I thought I could do these for all kinds of occasions. They fold flat and fit into regular sized envelopes to be mailed, and then pop up to sit on a table or desk and be admired. Cute. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA44EZ5z_Tg

Try it yourself and have fun!
