Are you ready to start creating Christmas crafts yet? I’m not, but I know that many of you are already making Yule Tide cards and crafts. Couple that with the fact that there is this new Holly and Ivy Cricut cartridge that just came out. You know me…I want to try all the new cartridges and see what fun images they offer. This snowflake image I loved a lot. It’s kind of ambiguous because it doesn’t necessarily make you think of Christmas. If you used other colors, it would work for other holidays or events. Make it a fun background for a Birthday card or something like that.

We carry all kinds of Christmas Cricut cartridges, so if you already have this cartridge, shop around and try new things.

Card Project

For this card, I made the patterned cardstock base 4.5″ x 4.5″, and the snowflake is cut out at 4″ with all four layers. Cricut Explore machines have a draw option. I used the draw option; however, you can’t even tell because it is the exact same as the silver over the top, so if you wanted to only cut out two layers and then draw the top one, you could easily do that (but if you are cutting out all three layers don’t do the drawn one because it’s was useless).

NOTE: The images on this cartridge have the draw feature for the top layer, so if you want to do simple projects with that great detail and not have to glue the third layer, this feature is awesome 🙂

Ready to inspire me? Do you have some great Holly and Ivy Cricut cartridge ideas swirling around in your head, be sure to share them with me I can’t wait to see what you all have created with this fun new cartridge. Save on the best from Cricut. Check out our large selection of scrapbook paper.

Happy creating!
