Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

25 Days of Christmas,

Don't forget to stop by Erica's blog to see 24 more projects today....

and every day in December.



Our family really loves to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas every year. So today I thought I would make a card kind of based on the Christmas Tree in the show.    I used the Designer's Calendar Cricut Cartridge, Elements Paper Seasonal, Green Cardstock, and some mixed media buttons, & saying.  I wanted to keep it simple and use some of my mixed media stash.  Sorry the picture isn't very good, my lighting in my craftroom isn't the best. I hope you like the card!  I cut the tree on page 53 at 3 1/2".

Erica's Craft Room 25 Days Of Christmas! December 13th Penguins!

Welcome back to my blog!! I so appreciate each and everyone who visits and comments on my blog! I'm so excited to get new followers!! THANK  YOU!
Today's project I used Jolly Holiday's and Winter Lace Cricut cartridges.  I was really excited about this project!  I bought this soap dispenser last year and knew what I wanted to with it.  My first time at trying vinyl on a project!  I also used my new favorite Glittering Snow by DecoArt
I cut the penguin from Jolly Holiday's at 4" using my gypsy to hide a few features.  I layered on the feet, nose and white inside body first then attached it to the black vinyl then placed it on the soap dispenser.  Next I added the "snow" with the Glittering Snow.  It has to dry 24 hours before you use the dispenser.  Next I cut the snowflakes out of the Winter Lace cartridge at 1".  Before I did my cuts I always cut it out on paper first to make sure the size will work with my project.  I used the paper  cuts to make a gift tag.  I like how it turned out!  Thanks for visiting! Hope it inspires you to create one of your own!      ♥♥ Christina ♥♥

Erica's Craft Room 25 Days of Christmas December 10

If you can't tell I absolutely love to make scrapbook pages! Today's theme is Snow!
I used some printed snow paper that I had in my supplies, I used the Jolly Holiday's & Christmas Noel Cricut cartridges.  I used a new (new to me) product that I found at a craft store called Glittering Snow by Deco Art.  Now I am not sure if it is scrapbook safe that is why I only put it on my house where a picture would not be close to it.  It looks like sparkly snow!! I LOVE it!  I cut the house out of Jolly Holiday's @ 6".  I hand cut some of the snow and for the layers I cut several cuts from Christmas Noel at 3-4".  I chalked around the snow layers, glued them down and then added some stickles to make it pop.  I pained the Glittering Snow on the roof and window sills (it needs to dry for 24 hours).  I am pretty happy with how it turned out.  Thanks for stopping by!!
