OH! Happy Christmas!

So in the crafting world this is the time of year to wind up your merry making and try to enjoy the rest of the season. I did find some resources for last minute making and one I wanted to share was the discovery of a site that's been around for a while. It's called SVGCUTS.COM . If you love to paper craft and you have a cutting machine like a Cricut, this is your paper project making heaven.

You could probably still get a small project or two done before Christmas if you wanted like the rocking horse box, which can also be made into an ornament for your tree in any size. Or made into some last minute Christmas cards.

Mary has been making pop-up cards since the early two thousand years and added these around 2014. And she keeps adding more. That's a long time to be in the crafting business so you know she is successful and very creative. I think one of her most popular designs is her Heirloom Christmas tree pattern.

I wanted to make a small tree this year and I ran across this one. Since I couldn't think of a way to make a better one, I bought the pattern. I just love my little tree! But there are so many patterns on her site. Cards, boxes, decorative houses and more. And her Summer themed card projects are stunning.

It's not hard to see how someone could get a lot of great ideas from Mary's site! These were added around 2014, maybe a little before that date. I'm going by the last review posted.

And such cute little projects from purses to gift bags.

I cannot say enough about this site because it just blows me away with all the projects and creativity. It might be enough to get me to dust off my Cricut and get busy. These prices aren't bad if you are looking for an alternative to a previous hobby that might have gotten too expensive for you this past year. One cut file can go a long way. I think it's much more economical than metal dies. And if you want that embossing texture, you can always run a piece through an embossing folder after cutting it out. 

I just had so much fun making my Heirloom Christmas tree project that I want to share my thoughts on it and maybe steer you toward a more affordable hobby for next year, especially if you've got an unused, dusty Cricut sitting in the corner like I do. Valentine's Day is coming next! But at any rate, happy crafting to all my friends!
