FCCB # 179--Going Places

Today's challenge over at FCCB is Going Places.  Create a project using at least ONE Cricut cut with a mode of transportation--car, bus, plane, spaceship etc.  So I figured, Santa uses a sleigh to get around, and I needed to get started on some Christmas cards!


This is one of my favorite cuts--it's from the Christmas Noel cartridge.  I cut Santa and his sleigh and reindeer at fit to length 6".  This made it 2.61" high.  I wanted a 3.25 x 6.25" card.  I actually used Nesties to cut my moon out of some silver glitter paper that SU offered as an incentive at some point.  The stars and sentiment are embossed in silver, from 2 different retired SU sets.  Cardstock is Night of Navy and Brocade Blue.  Card base is PTI white.


I love blue and silver for Christmas cards--what do you like?  Do you usually go traditional or do you like to use non-traditional colors for Christmas cards?  

Have a wonderful day!
