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:
IMG_0754
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.

Here is a close up of the ornament.
So, to help celebrate the joy of this season of giving, I am giving the SVG file to you for FREE. It will be available through this link through Monday, December 20th at midnight. Just our small way of thanking each of you for your faithful readership of our blog. Just click the add to button and it will take you through the steps.

Please be sure to check out all the wonderful ideas from the design team and participate in the crawl. There are a LOT of really, really nice prizes up for grabs! May you all have a wonderfully blessed, Merry Christmas, Melin
