3-D Flower All Occasion Card

Here's an all-occasion card I made using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, the Artiste Cricut cartridge and a variety of papers including our new Heartstrings, Brushed, and the retired Babycakes, as well as a journaling card (the yellow diagonal striped part) from the My Crush™ Besties Assortment. I'm learning to mix and match!

Autumn Layout with Artbooking

I've only had a relatively short time to play with the new Cricut Artbooking cartridge but I am sooo excited about it! There are a number of great options for scrapbooking layouts that I am looking forward to trying out. Here is one double layout I made with a fall themed overlay, beautiful maple leaves, the word "Autumn," two coordinating photo mats, and the journaling all cut with the Artbooking cartridge.

The orange striped paper is from the Babycakes paper pack (so you can see that you can use it for things besides baby themed projects). This layout came together fairly quickly. I'm looking forward to making some more layouts with Artbooking!Pin It

It's a Boy!

We had some good news yesterday! My cousin had her baby! I broke out some of my new CTMH products to make a baby card. So here's a sneak peek at the new Babycakes paper pack (X7173B) and the new Wild Wonders stamp set (C1558), available on August 1st. The frame is from another new stamp set called Holiday Tags (D1560). I popped my frame up with a little foam tape. The Holiday Tags stamp set has a bunch of frames which can be cut with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge and the Wild Wonders has a giraffe and lion image which have coordinating cuts on the new Artbooking Cricut Cartridge. They were all so much fun to play with!

 

I usually don't add too much inside my cards but after looking at some examples of how other people do, I thought I might start incorporating some of my scraps on the insides. I like the weight it adds to the inside also. This way the card isn't too unbalanced. Here's what the inside looks like. I love all those floating giraffes!

 

There's an, "It's a girl!" sentiment in the Wild Wonders stamp set also. I think I could duplicate this card and leave the frame part blank or use the, "Too cute!" sentiment from the same set to have a baby card on hand for when I need one.

Some other supplies I used were the Slate and Autumn Terracotta stamp pads and the Neutral Baker's Twine Assortment.Pin It
