Video ~ Cricut® Artistry Collection ~ If You're Wondering What's On The New CTMH Cricut Cartridge...Here's A Peek!

I thought today I would share a video that Close To My Heart put on youtube called "Cricut® Artistry Collection". I thought I would share this video because they show us a peek into what this cartridge has to offer us. I love the stamp sets and the new colors (the cardstock) that's included too. So, take a few minutes and check out the video!

A Fast And Simple Wedding Card Idea ~ Love My CTMH Cricut Cartridges!

I thought today I'd share a wedding card I made. I used my Cricut machine and CTMH "Artfully Sent" cartridge (Z3168) for the front piece. The paper is retired and so are the embellishments. I thought it would be good to use up some of my stash...making some space for brand new products! 

It was a card I made pretty fast...which is why I love having all of my CTMH cartridges...there are so many images to choose from. Who doesn't want fast and simple projects?! It gives me more time to make more projects!  

Looking For Sport Stamp Sets? Football? Baseball? Hockey? Check These Out!

I thought with all the kids starting up with sport activities you might want a stamp set (or 2) to use for projects. What you might not know is we have a bunch of them but they aren't all in the catalogs. So check out the photo and then you'll need to go to my website to order them. Each set has the number under it (see photo) to be able to find it on the website fast and easy.  

 

Sharing The Cute Halloween Note Pad Covers I Made!

Over the weekend I had some time to get crafty and made a few notepad covers. I love making these...it's like making a card but more useful. With a card...the person you send the card to reads it, and maybe they keep it for a few days...but then they end up throwing the card out. With these cute notepads they use them and enjoy them for a little while. At least I hope they do. Anyway, with Halloween coming up I thought I would make a few for gifts...I love giving gifts and/or sending happy mail. I used "Nevermore" paper pack, my Cricut to cut the shapes, some shimmer trim to add a bit of bling, and I bought the cute little orange notepads from the Dollar Tree store (which you can't really see in the photo). I think they came out adorable!

So, take a few minutes and check out the video!

Cute Halloween Mini Album...Just Needs Photos!

I thought today I'd share a cute Halloween mini album that I made for a gift for someone I know. I used the Cricut "Artbooking" collection (Z3169) to cut out the designs. (Incase you're wondering why the pages aren't together...I took the photos of the pages before I strung the album together.) I used the paper pack "Nevermore" (X7198B) and added a little extra black cardstock (1386). I also added black glitter paper (Z1829) behind the letters on the front page (and a bit near the word "Boo"). Now all she'll have to do is add a few photos and she'll have something cute to show off.

Need A Cute Gift Card Box Idea?

I thought today I'd share 2 projects that I made. The card I used the paper pack "Zoe". The box was cut from the Cricut using retired paper (it's a Fundamental paper pack, we have new designs you can check out). I filled the box with a little bag of nuts and a gift card to Starbucks. I wanted to give someone a little gift and this was perfect.
