I made one with that snowman from BG last week too but I forgot to take a pic before I sold it on Friday.
Must try & take some photos of mine but I keep forgetting !! Here's one, it's decoupage but I really don't have the patience to make many - too fiddly for me !
Come on then Mole, lets see what you can do with that new Cricut
Hazel - love the card. really like the edges just embossed like that.
Nat - really like these. Love the bright colours
Gwyneth, the decoupage is really effective but can imagine it could be fidly. never tried it myself but have watched in amazement at a crop when someone spent the whole crop doing this. love it though but like you I dont think I would have the patience to do loads
Nat, love the way you've created the pressies, can I copy??!!!
Gwyneth - I've cut some shapes from the cricut, and have tried working out how to creat word-shape cards - eg NOEL and JOY. I need some more time to practice and try cutting them at bigger sizes, but KI think I may be heading in the right direction! I've a day off tomorrow so might have some time then to experiment.

Sure you can Mole - I seem to always do a few cards like this each year as scraps left over from others are great for making pressies!
Hazel, it's not blingy, it's just single-sided "cardstock" - like thick patterned paper - in the embossing folder and I've just sanded it back, works really well on that gingerbread coloured sheet. Also a nice way of using up bigger scraps! If you have any cardstock with a white core like DCWV I am sure you'd get the same result.
I was thinking of using it to make my gift tags for pressys. Maybe using a scalloped punch and then the folder - never tried sanding cardstock before! Is it just ordinary bazzill

If you look in my gallery I have a concertina type NOEL word I made on my Craft Robo - it's just letters welded together and cut from an A4 sheet of card. If you can't cut that big on the cricut, try cutting each letter separately with a little hinge added so that you can glue them together. It's worth looking too at some of our CR designs as there are some nice examples of welded words and numbers in our templates and galleries that might help with ideas.
