Now for today's project "Christmas Card Monday"

I wanted to make a shape card and I chose this image from the Cricut essentials cartridge (exclusive to the E2) I had to use the Cricut Craft room to weld it because it isn't linked to my Gypsy.

I used recollections CS for most of the cuts. The card when folded is 5 x 6 the white mat measures approximately 4,75 x 5.75 and was embossed with the "Holly Ribbons" folder. The Partridge in a pear tree was cut from "Joys of the season" at 2,25 x3.5. I cut all the layers the shadow is dark green, The blackout is brown, the base is a brighter green and the layer is a mustard yellow, added a 1 inch red strip punched along both edges wit an Anna Griffin boarder punch. The sentiment was from my collection of stamps, the shape for this was also from"Cricut Essentials" cut at approx 1 x 2 in white and framed with green shape cut slightly larger. Added some white doodling on both red pieces and a green bow to top it off. Both the sentiment and the partridge were on pop dots.

Hope you enjoy every ones projects
