Festive Friday #37

Hello my friends!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! 

It's time again for another challenge at Festive Friday!

Here is the cute inspiration photo for this time around. I love this photo!

 I have seen so many cute things with an old pick up truck with a Christmas tree in the back of it around, so I knew immediately that was the direction I wanted to take. I dug through my stash... nothing... I  searched the digital files at the Silhouette store... nothing, I scoured the internet... nothing... then, I had a thought! I remembered a Cottage Cuts die that I bought a long time ago that was a truck, with something Christmasy about it! So I went searching and I found it! Oh it was perfect! These dies are pretty complex and take some time to put together, because there are so many tiny pieces, but they are really quite fun, especially if you are someone who loves detail work, which I am :)

Anyway, here is what I did with my Christmasy truck die!

I just love how this turned out! My husband even made a big deal about how cute it was and you know how husbands are! Anyway, it was just so fun to put together. I started with the blue panel, glued down the line of green trees, then added the white snowdrift. I then added the clouds with foam tape and the truck with foam tape too,

Dies:

Trees- My Favorite Things

Snowdrift- My Favorite Things

Clouds- Taylored Expressions and PTI

Santa in Truck- Cottage cuts

Sentiment- Papertrey Ink

I have had lot of people ask me what kind of textured paper that is that I'm using. I am so sorry to tell you all that it's old Stampin' Up paper from way back when I was a demo. They used to carry some awesome textured card stock, but they don't have it anymore. When I was a demo I stocked up majorly and I think I'm good for life now! haha! 

I also have quite a large stash of American Crafts textured card stock which is beautiful and cuts like a dream in the Cameo.

I hope you will play along with us at Festive Friday!

I hope you all have a safe and happy weekend!

Festive Friday Reminder

Hello my friends!

I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I have been so super busy lately. My girl and I just got back from our annual girl's trip. Since we both have July birthdays, we go on a shopping trip sometime between the two and spend the night. We had so much fun! We shopped all day, then went back to our comfy motel room, ate junk food, watched movies and played with our new stuff :) She kept me up waaaaay too late, but we sure did have fun :)

Just wanted to remind everyone that there's still time to join in on the challenge at Festive Friday!

Such a fun inspiration photo!

The presents were die cut with a die from Cottage Cuts. I've had it forever and this is the first time I've used it. The stitched mat is from Lil Inkers and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

I hope you will play along with us at Festive Friday!
