AND NOW FOR THE CARD!!!!! 

 I

Used my favorite Cricut cartridge Teddy Bear Parade and cut out the cute Teddy elf. I inked it all up and cut a few scraps to make a card base. 

Here is the finished Teddy Elf  I add pearls to his shoes and hat and also highlight to his nose and eyes. 

Stamped our Merry Christmas on Scraps the  stamp is from Cosmo Cricket's-Jolly Days Collection. 

I cut it out then backed it on a banner I made by cutting triangles out of the edges.  

In th middle of posting my blog half my pictures vanished so here is the finished card... I added washi tape to the edges of the red layer. slapped some fun washi on the bottom to ground the Teddy. I popped everything up on dimensional tape. To add the finishing touches I scattered coordinating sequins. I really hope this makes someones Christmas alot better...

ScrappyDew Design Team Projects, So far...

This card was made with Graphic 45 - Song Bird papers.
I used The SD-Scrap Factory with the Royals 2 Expansion pack.  The eyes are done with SD - Dew Drops Facial Expressions.    The stamped sentiment is from a Stampin" Up! stamp set.

 This wasn't really a Design Team project. I made him mainly to show the versatility of the Facial Expression-Dew Drop Stamp Sets. This is a Bear from Teddy Bear Parade Cricut Cartridge. I just hid the eyes and stamped them on.

This was a really easy simple project. I made the bag, then just added a head from a doll I cut out at the wrong size. then i used the Facial Expressions-Dew Drops Stamps to add her face. With a little highlight and bling for earrings it looks like it tooks awhile to make but was only about 15 minutes.















This was also just to show that you can use these Dew Drops  on Cricut cuts as well as ScrappyDew patterns. This little guy is from Create A Friend. I really love the versatility of these stamps.



Check out ScrappyDew I'm sure you will find several thing you just can't live with out!   SCRAPPYDEW.COM

Cricut Guy & Design Space Link

I will be showing you how I put together this Cricut Guy after I made him in Cricut Design Space and cut him from my Cricut Explore.  I used the images from Teddy Bear Parade and Store Front Cartridges(both are in the subscription, to create this fun little guy. I will share the Cricut Design Space Link at the bottom of this post. 

This is the Finished Cut!!! 

Simply cut out the pieces... There is only 3 colors so its very easy. 

(excuse the dirty mat)

I then punched out a circle and just cut it into pieces to back my eyes and mouth. 

I use 2 Way Glue to adhere them.

(any glue will work) 

Tip: Make sure your pieces cover the holes before you adhere them.

I added Stampin'Dimensionals on the eyes so they would pop.Add his shirt,and your done! 

I hope you all enjoy this cute little Cricut Guy.

Here is the Design Space Link:

https://us.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/project/22198586

All you have to do is click the link it will open up in your Cricut Design Space Account. 

You can cut him free if you have the subscription. 

The images I used where from Store Front &  Teddy Bear Parade, so if you have both it will be free. If you have just one of the 2 you will have to only pay $0.99 and you will own it to cut when ever you like.  Please feel free to comment, share & ask any questions.

p.s. If you have Teddy Bear Parade you can use all the outfits on the 

Cricut Guy how fun would that be!!!
