Jingle Bells Card

I have another card for you today from the AG Christmas Cards 2 cartridge.  You notice the card and the embellishment have the same patterns.  However, I did not cut all the layers for the card.  I chose each layer in Cricut Design Space, changed them from a cut file to a print file.  The file comes into DS grouped with an envelope.  I didn't make the envelope.  I ungrouped the file, then deleted the envelope.  I then highlighted the card and "attached" it together.  This made it a print then cut file.  If I had not attached the layers together, DS would have printed all the layers.

I did cut all the layers for the center bells embellishment and attached it with foam adhesive.

This cartridge has so many pretty cards & embellishments on it.  I think it was worth the investment.  It's on HSN and it comes with a $10 digital credit on Cricut.com.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope your day is filled with peace.

I want to thank God today for His Faithfulness.  There's a scripture in Lamentations that says,  Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)  When we started our blog, we decided on Daily Grace Creations for a name because we experience God's Grace & Mercy new every morning.  I thank Him so much that each day is a new start.

God Bless You!!!  Peggy 

New Release Sunday - Digistamps4Joy

Today is Team B's privilege to create with the new releases at Digistamps4Joy.  These gorgeous images were drawn by Jenlee.  I chose "Misteri's Ornaments" to work with.

Card Supplies:

5.5"Square card base

Background paper - Kay and Co. Christmas stack.  

Image - Misteri's Ornaments

Image colored with Promarkers.  I used glitter glue on the earrings. To make the fur look realistic, I dabbed liquid pearls on it.  I'm not sure you can tell this in the picture.

Thank you for visiting with me today.  Please visit the DS4J and look at all the beautiful digis added back to the store. I'm happy to say my card is featured on the front page.

God Bless You!!! Peggy

Christmas Card 1-Anna's Layered Cards 2

I received my auto ship Cricut cartridge from HSN last week.  I really have to stay away from HSN because I love Anna Griffin products.  It's hard on my purse.  This cartridge is Anna's Layered Cards 2.  I've been making some of the cards on it and I will show them to you over the next couple of days.  This is the first is one of the Christmas cards on it.

All you have to do with this cartridge is decide on your colors, cut the layers and glue them together.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  

God Bless You!!!! Peggy

Christmas Card Week #15

This is my card for week #15 at the FaceBook Group, Only Christmas Cards/Projects.   I had an idea for this card but it didn't work out.  I colored a darling little digi, then when I got to putting my card together, it just didn't go with it.  So I put it aside until another day.

This card is made entirely from an older paper stack I have from Hobby Lobby.  It's called Christmas Traditions by Paper Studio. 
The card base is a side step card file created by Narelle Darley for Cricut Design Studio.  The Christmas tree is cut using an Anna Griffin Die Cut.  The presents were hand cut from one of the pages.  Although I never like to use Season's Greetings for a Christmas wish, I thought the paper fit nicely for the sentiment.

Thank you for visiting with me today.  I love reading your comments.  

God Bless You!!!  Peggy
