Sweet Thank You Card Notes

Christmas is over, we’ve welcomed in the New Year, all that is left to do is sort out some stylish thank you notes for our friends and family. These note cards are made using A7 Card blanks and are really easy to create with the Cricut machine.

For these cards, I’ve chosen to pair Sirio Gold Pearl Double Sided Paper with Blue Sirio Colour Paper as they’re lightweight for the tiny cards and create a smooth, classy finish.

I love the look of Gold on celebration cards. Add stencil details to Pure Pearl cardstock for extra bling!

These cute handmade pillow boxes are so easy to make with your Cricut. They can be used as a handmade advent calendar which you can fill with your favourite treats.

Smart but sparkly Christmas Nutcrackers

Add a little sparkle to these traditional Christmas Nutcrackers from Cricut Design Space. These are so simple and easy to make, the whole design is pre-made into the one image. They make a perfect embellishment to a Christmas Card, or used in their own as gift tags. Why not make a few in various colours and create Christmas Nutcracker Bunting! I have opted to use Non-Shedding Glitter Card 285gsm against colours from the Sirio Colour Card 290gsm. With such a gorgeous range of card stock colours, what will your Nutcrackers look like?

Hello fellow crafters and lovers of all things card and paper! Terri here again with a rather intricate Christmas Card. This card was made using an XCut scene building die set I've had for a while but not used, but seemed perfect to pull out for this occasion, as Christmas is just around the corner!
