 Hi everyone!

We're going to get started in just a minute!

Here is the first card we're going to be creating this morning!



If you'd like to cut as we go, you're going to need the Stretch your Imagination cartridge, the new Christmas Solutions cartridge, red, green and ivory paper!

 I am here finally.  My dd and I are playing with my Cricut this morning.  I don't have the Stretch cartridge so can we substitute something else??

[KatiePooh]

[craftyfool]

 I'm here...that is so pretty!

I have SYI but not the Christmas Solutions.  I have another Christmas one though...I bet I can make it work...

[Dianedi]

Thanks everyone!

The base of the card measures 5"x6.5". If you need to cut a piece of cardstock, cut it to 10" x 6.5" and then fold in half. I've used ivory as my base!

The next step is to take any piece of red patterned paper and cut it to 5" x 6.5", ink the edges with light brown ink, and adhere it to the center of the card!

 Bummer - I don't have any of those carts....but I'm taking notes!!

[touchalife]

 are you able to post pictures with your instructions for those of us who are a little on the slow side

[Dianedi]

 A quick note regarding the sleigh. You don't have to have the christmas Solutions cartridge.

If you have the Joys of the Season cartridge, you can use the sleigh on page 44 of the manual.

If you have the Christmas Cheer cartridge, you can use the sleigh on page 84 of the manual.

[ctaylor0312]

 Yeah, I'm with all you gals who are taking notes, right there with ya!

[ABMommy2]

 There's also a Sleigh on pg 74 of Paper Doll Dress Up (I know this as I was cutting them for my kid the other day...he wanted to make something for his friends with sleighs & reindeer)

[mommahobbit]

 first dumb question of the day.............. can i cut a plain card with my machine? a card that is blank?
