With the new Quilted Christmas Cricut Cartridges the possibilities are endless. I used the cartridge to create a beautiful little snow-capped village that can sit on my mantle place \u2013 yes I still dream of a white Christmas.<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"media\" title=\"Christmas Village\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/xmas-village.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/xmas-village.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Village\" title=\"Christmas Village\" class=\"gallery_full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I used a little wooden house covered in book paper on some sides and the rest of the sides I simply spray painted. For the snow-capped roof I used wood glue to create streaks of runny snow and covered the wet glue with American Crafts Glitter to create a grainy effect. Then I sprayed the dried glitter glue parts with a creamy white spray paint to tone down everything.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"media\" title=\"Christmas Snowman\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/snowman-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/snowman-1.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Snowman\" title=\"Christmas Snowman\" class=\"gallery_full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I kept the d\u00e9cor elements simple with just a few hints of colour using American Crafts Cardstock to die-cut the elements. The beautiful Petaloo White Mulberry Flowers add some soft textures to the front of the little wooden house. A couple of streaks of glitter glue swipes along the bottom edges of the roof added some sparkle. On the die-cut elements I used Anita\u2019s 3D Clear Gloss Finish to highlight certain areas \u2013 this also took away the brightness of the red cardstock making it fit perfectly with the toned down colours of Christmas Village.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"media\" title=\"Christmas Sleigh\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/sleigh.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/sleigh.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Sleigh\" title=\"Christmas Sleigh\" class=\"gallery_full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Something simple as a little wooden house can turn into beautiful quilted Christmas decorations using a few craft supplies and a bit of imagination.
