More Cards!

I dont know if it is the Christmas season or what has drawn me to making cards I just love it! Any way here are a few more examples of my cards!...

Diy Advent Calendar

Today I will show you how I did the first part of my advent calendar! First I selected a bunch of red and green paper that complimented each other. 

(For some reason they look brighter than in real life lol they are really Christmasy) 

Then I cut envelopes, You can do this by hand by tracing an old one or in your cricut I cut it so my "square front" is 3.25in. 

Then fold all of those envelopes...

And I took the left over scraps and Cut the numbers from 25 all the way down to 1. And Glue them on to your envelope. (If you plan on using this more than once I say dont use a glue stick, It usually doesnt last as long, I used my 2 way glue pen. 

Thats it for the first part, I will be back to show you what I am going to be putting inside! 

The kids will absolutely love these! 

Card Making

I have become semi obsessed with card making, I am not sure why but I love it! Here are some pics of the cards I have made. 

Heres the first one! 

And the inside...

This is kind of a generic card for handing out at the craft show...

The inside with my business card...

A birthday card with a gift card holder on the out side, This was from something I saw online. 

Another Christmas Card...

New Pop Tab Items!

Here are some of the new things I have made with pop tabs! 

Heres a white clutch...

The lining...

A neon green belt, It is kinda hard to see in the pic's but it is so bright! I love it! 

Cricut Chore Chart

So this week I was shopping at Walmart and I couldnt believe it but they had a bunch of cricut carteidges on clerance for 10.00. Crazy right?! Well I had to get one of each lol I usually dont buy them but I got 4 for the price of one. One of them was the Cricut Lite Chore Chart. My son wanted to get started right away so We made the chart and are in the process of making all the chores he wants LOL how fun to trick little ones :) Since we made it he gets up and makes his bed every morning and brushes teeth without being asked! So cool! So here are the pics. (He picked the colors)

Now I am attaching magnets to them and to the chart so as he completes them he can put them up! 

A little tip, I have been in a sense collecting paint chips from the store, I have used a bunch in this project! They are not huge pieces but these were cut at 1.5in so perfect size to not have to cut a 12x12 paper. :) 

Big News!

So today I am very excited to bring some big news, well big news for me. I have officially committed to my first craft show! My sister in law was doing a craft show and decided to let me share a booth with her! I decided I would, but to my surprise it feels like it is a big leap. You can visit my new and improved etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/HotRodsBoutique?ref=si_shop
