Heartstrings Layout

Did you know that the Heartstrings and Hopscotch papers will no longer be available after March? We will have a new Seasonal Expressions catalog which you can order from beginning on April 1st with new papers and other amazing products but this month will be your last chance to purchase these two wonderful paper packs. I have to say, Heartstrings has become one of my favorites! Here's a layout I made with the Heartstrings paper pack,  Heartstrings Complements, the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and the Artbooking Cricut cartridge.

Another Valentine's Day Card using Artiste and Art Philosophy

I actually made the front of this card and send it out today! That never happens with me. It should arrive on time. Woohoo! I even included some cute heart shaped sugar cookies. I hope my friend likes her package. Cricut made it easy once again. I just cut out a bunch of banner shapes and used what seemed to look good together. The inside is the same pop up heart I used earlier here.

Artiste Valentine

Here's what I thought would be a simple card since the Cricut and the Artistes cartridge do most of the work. But I don't have the newest version of the Cricut. I have a Cricut Expression and haven't really tried connecting to Craft Room or Design Space or whatever and I just take guesses at sizes sometime! So it took me a few tries to get a reasonable sized card. 

This is the card when it's all opened up. The hearts have slits which fit together. I also put my paper the "wrong" way on my Cricut sheet because I wanted the pattern to show differently. I ended up using the red pattern which I originally wanted on the outside to be on the inside! Then I added scraps to the outside to make the red pattern go the way I wanted. I'll probably spruce up the inside too!

 Here's the card folded up.

 And a side view...

 ...and all of my tries from Lilliputian to somewhat normal sized. The little ones are cute though. I'll probably use them for something!

Treasures of the Heart

The little envelope which says, "Treasures from the Heart," is from the My Crush™ Besties Assortment, a collection of journaling cards, stickers, and mini envelopes that go well with the My Crush books but, as you see here, can go on any paper crafted product you like! I used one on my card that I posted yesterday. I used the Artiste Cricut cartridge to cut out the card and the hearts from the Heartstrings papers and the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the roses. I also included a little puffy heart sticker from the Chalk It Up Assortment.

 Here's the card opened. I added the teal paper to the square side. I think I will add a light colored piece of cardstock or other journaling card to write a message on.

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!
