Good morning Fantabulous Cricut Friends! Hope you’re all doing well and have your crafting hats on…it’s the last weekend before Christmas….It’s now or never :-)

This week here at FCCB, we have been doing an awesome Crawl ( our version of a blog hop). Our theme was “Deck The Halls-Walls” Great crafting ideas using your Cricut.
So in keeping with that theme, I made a couple of very simple ideas to help you decorate for the holidays!
cricut christmas village reindeer
First is a set of pretty reindeer from the Christmas Village Cartridge. I cut three of them out in 4, 5 and 6 inches. I used Sugar Daddy Bazzil Bling Cardstock. It cut beautifully and I didn’t have to embellish the Reindeer as the shimmer from the cardstock is pretty enough. Of course, you can’t see that in the photo. I am not the best picture taker by an stretch. They will sit on a shelf with this angel by my entrance.
Next:

I created this pretty cross ornament and cut it out with my Cricut and the MTC software. I cut it out of plain white cardstock and then covered it with Pinecone Glimmer Mist. Once it was dry, I inked the edges for just a bit more of the distressed look. It has a very pretty and understated shimmer against the lights from the Glimmer Mist, but again…..you really can’t see it in the photo.
