Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I've found a printed digital stamp on my desk, so I decided to make an easy card:

I cut out the pinecones (MHKDesigns) and layered it on a die cut panel, stamped with Christmas Borders (CTMH). Super CAS!
I'm entering this card in CurtainCall Inspiration Challenge...it's their last challenge! =(

Challenges:
1. CurtainCall Inspiration Challenge: Pines & Big Announcement

{Tue} Technique: Creating Cricut R+F Lip Shield Holders

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Next week, I'll be at a Holiday Market with my friend, Harmony, in Bowie, MD:

If you live around the area, please come visit us!!!

We'll be offering some Rodan and Fields Skin Care products...and this is one of the items we'll be featuring - Essentials Lip Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 25:

******************************

I made some holders for them...using Cricut cartridges:

Cut 2 of the same design and just add a thin line of adhesive on the edges. I used Dimensional Magic, but any strong adhesive will do the job.
Decorate as desired.
Cartridges are Winter Woodland (Poinsettia and Stocking), Art Philosophy CTMH (Tree) and Artiste CTMH (Glove).

I think they turned out pretty cute, don't you think? =)
