Wall Decor and More Cricut Cartridge

I created this frame using the Wall Decor and More cartridge

and it's Cuttlebug companion folder from Provo Craft.

The paper is from DCWV and Core'dinations.

The Vine Cuttlebug folder is highlighted with Memento ink and a blender pen.

For the flowers I used Core'dinations paper and the the new daisy Quilling Kit from Provo Craft. I added Stickles and wire beads that I found at Michael's in the wedding section. The border around the outside is the negative from the quilling die. I hope you like the look of it. I know that I will be using it again.

For this card I have this wonderful verse from Darcies. I stamped it on AC cardstock and ran the Spellbinders die thru my Cuttlebug. The ribbon that I used is from Michaels.

I used paper from The Paper Company for the butterflies and layered them with vellum . They were cut on my Expression using the Wall Decor and More cartridge from Provo Craft. I added the jems and stickels. For the background I used the Allegro Embossing folder from Cuttlebug and highlighted it with Colorbox chalk.

For the edging on the music I used the Cuttlebug Ornamental Iron Die and added stickels and the pearls.

Winter Frolic Serving Tray

I designed this holiday tray using the Winter Frolic cartridge from Provo Craft. The focal point of "Angels Gather Here" was the first thing on this cartridge that caught my eye. In this project it is cut in shadow, and then layered and inked with soft blue Momento Ink. The flourish and corners are brightened with red gems.

The roses, stamens and leaves are from Wild Orchid, which is in the UK, and they offer superb customer service. The scrolls along the edge of the tray are cut in white and again in blue for the shadow. The shadows are embossed with the Swiss Dots folder in the Cuttlebug, using Core'dinations paper, and with a quick sanding, the white dots pop right out.

To go along with my tray, I have also added a greeting card to match!

The sweet little partridge family is also cut from Winter Frolic. The snowflakes are embossed into the DCWV paper, then sanded to release the white core, and are accented with blue gems.

This is a very good cartridge to add to your library. It has a lot to do with the basics of Christmas, and includes a darling Nativity, which I hope to do soon. Thanks for stopping by ... It was really fun to to be one of the first to create a project with this cartridge!
