There are many words you can choose but I thought this pretty much sums up the entire season for our family -- JOY. I used the CTMH Artiste cartridge. Wow -- it was soooo easy!
Here are my "cut" dimensions. Page numbers refer to the Cricut Artiste handbook that comes with the cartridge.
Flag pieces - Pg. 77 - 4.5" - Elemental Patterned Paper
Top border - Pg. 47 - 1" - Red card stock (trimmed as needed)
Rosettes (3-D) - Pg. 77 - 1.75" - Colonial White Cardstock (remember to cut two for each rosette)
Rosettes (flat) - Pg. 56 - 3.5" - Colonial White Cardstock
Ornament - Pg. 79 - 3" - Colonial White (remember to cut four as you will need two for each ornament)
Letters - Various Pages - 3" - Cranberry Cardstock
Stamp sets used:
Very Merry Christmas (Oct. SOTM)
Inks and Embellishments:
Cranberry
Olive
Zip Strip from Elemental Paper Pack
Tips/Notes:
-Almost every one of my pieces were sponged around the edges with Olive or Cranberry ink. This step adds dimension to your project. You MUST do this and you will not be disappointed!
-I just used ribbon to string my pieces together. I tie a knot behind each piece so it does not slide around.
-To make the ornament multi-colored, I simply stamped two ornaments, one in green and then one in red. I then cut out the middle of the green ornament and glued it onto the red.
-I used 3-D foam tape to mount my letter. Again, gives the project dimension.
