Angels for the Tauranga Breast Cancer support group

Before Christmas I had the honour of being asked by the Tauranga Breast Cancer support group to go and demonstrate Close to my Heart and give them a make and take to do. This is a little angel I adapted from one I saw recently at the Hamilton Cricut club made by Shona D. We made a small box and a 3x3 card and the angel had a small peg on the back to clip onto the box. They were made with the Close to my heart sparkle and shine paper pack and the bulk pack of Chantilly paper.

Advent Village

Now I am a bit late finishing off this advent callendar but here it is. Well maybe its not just a callendar it is more of an advent village. The houses are the Store on Cricut Sweet Tooth Boxes, the clamshell tree boxes are from Cricut Tablescapes fall and winter, and the Triangle boxes and small boxes in the front are from Cricut Close to my Heart Artiste cartridge. I used a variety of papers including Sparkle and Shine from CTMHand Cricut 12x24 papers.

Artiste d and hohoho boxes are the tree boxes and the triangle boxes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The clam shell boxes are in different sizes and stacked at the back.

Santa's crashed out on the floor must have had too many sweets.

 

 

Each little box has a mini Santa and the triangle trees have a lolly and 2 M&M's. The Triangle trees also have a letter for each child and a number. The number relates to How many sleeps till christmas. so the fewer the boxes the closer to christmas.

Christmas tree from Rosettes from the Cricut CTMH Artiste cart

This is a little Christmas tree made from Rosettes from the CTMH Artiste cartridge. Make the rosettes from .75 inches to 2.5 inches and layer them one on top of the other. The base is a straight piece of cardstock rolled up. The star is from the CTMH  Art Philosophy cartridge.

Christmas tree made by Anne Goodin

This is a christmas tree made by Anne Goodin from The CTMH Artiste cartridge. She saw it in the Christmas flyer and made it at the Palmerston North Cricut Club. Way to go Anne. Anne used a piece of No. 8 wire (New Zealand technology) down through the centre so the tree had firmness and she used beads between each layer. The box at the bottom is also from the Artiste cartridge.
