Fall and Christmas Fun

 With it being September, fall is on the way and a reminder that even Christmas is on it's way.  Also, with a new catalog of new goodies being released over at CTMH, I had to play with some of the wonderful things I got!  LOL  Also, I wanted to play with the Sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches:

hrist Using the Home for Christmas Digital Art Collection and my Cricut, this is the set:

With the set I made this:

In order to maneuver some of the images I had to delete everything around it, flatten it (that turns it into a print and cut), copy and paste it and do that all over again to get all of the images I wanted, where I wanted them, then I connected everything and flattened them.  It's a bit time consuming, but it's so worth it!  While I still had everything together, I made it a bit bigger and did another card:

For this one I added some gems in place of the bulbs on the tree and added some shimmer to the fire and the tree.

Another new digi set I had to get and play with was the 'The Good Life Digital Art Collection", here is whats in this set:

Using the same techniques as the cards above I created this card:

aside from the bow and gem, this is only two layers, the card base and the top layer.

The last card I made using the Cherish Digital Art Collection, again, using the same techniques.  This is what is available in that set:

Here is the card I made:

Again, I have the card base and the top layer, then I added a bow and some shimmer to the center of the flowers.

Hope you've enjoyed what I created!  Hope you've been inspired to see the fun Digi collections CTMH has!  Just so you know, these are created to be cut, not print/cut, but either way, it works!!  :)  You can change the colors to fit what you want by selecting the different layers of what you are cutting.  

Thank you for looking!
