Congratulations!

Today's card is for someone who had a baby!! I made it for a baby boy but it could easily be changed for a baby girl by changing the blue to pink! This was super easy to make. I used the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge collection and a few other stamp sets from CTMH. 

Here's my card!

I cut the card base on pg 53 at 4.5 inches, one square at 2.5 inches and the other at 2 inches.

I used the Perfect Fit-Frames Flair stamp set for the 2.5 inch square and the stamp set with the Art Philosophy collection for the 2 inch square.

On the base of the card I stamped an image using the Pirouette Flair stamp set and added a few gems. Followed by some brown ribbon on the corner to finish my card.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about today's card!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Designer Challenge with MCT

Good afternoon, I decided to join the MCT team challenge. The challenge was to incorporate fabric and stitches to your project. I previously made a small gift for my mom and thought about maybe adding a card to match.  I decided to use a die set and stamp from MCT. Both die sets have beautiful stitches so all I really needed to add was the fabric!  It was very easy and fast to put together, absolutley love the dies and stamp sets!

Here is my card along with the envelope!

I cut my envelope with the MCT-3x3 Fancy Envelope Die using Close to My Heart Flirty Paper. The stamp set used was MCT-So Grateful For You. Finally just added some ribbon on the front and a rose on the back to finish the envelope.

 I kept my card pretty simple. It's also from MCT-Card Sentiments with 3x3 Fancy Tri-fold Card (the coordinating card for the envelope die). All I did was add a wooden tree from Close to My Heart. Really super simply, but super cute!

Hope you enjoyed!

Simple Christmas Card

Good afternoon, today I have a very simple Christmas card! I like the idea of a simple card making because they are fast and easy and you can make tons of them! I used the Close to My Heart Pear & Partridge Cardmaking Kit along with some Cashmere cardstock.

I actually made my card to measure 4x11 so that I could get 3 base cards out of one 12x12 cashmere cardstock. The pattern paper measures at 4x2, Cocoa measures at 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and Colonial White measures at 2 1/2 x 2 1/2. I also used 4 small red glitter gems and the stamp from the kit (the ribbon is from my scraps). I used the Cashmere Ink Pad for my inked image.

You could always add more to the card. Maybe create a background on the base of the card or simply make the words "A Merry Little" a different color. I just wanted to keep it simple in case someone needed an idea for a mass produce card using this fabulous paper!

So Thankful for...

Hi, today I have a little project that I made for my beautiful mom! Just wanted to let her know how much I  love her and how much I'm thankful to have her in my life!

I used the Close to My Heart- Artiste Cartridge for the box, paper fan, banners and the flowers and A Friend Like you stamp set. All of the paper with the exception of the darker shade of pink and the green is from the Flirty Paper Packet, Close to My Heart.

For this project I purchased a 4x6 acrylic frame and glued a  post-it pad. Cut a 4x6 paper using the same designer paper, added some ribbon, roses and a matching pen to finish the project. If you have any questions regarding the projects, please feel to ask!

Hope you enjoyed!

Designer Challenge with MCT

While trying to get caught up with reading some of my favorite blogs, I came across MCT Designer Challenge. The challenge was to create a large decorative tag, anything goes as long as it's 4x6 or larger and it includes My Creative Time stamp set and or dies in any way.

I am going to a baby shower this weekend and the theme is Texas Ranger Baseball. With that being said I knew exactly the stamp set that I was going to use, The Grand Slam Stamp Set. I used several cartridges for this project, the initials on the tag are the baby's. So here it is!

Tag cut at 7 inches with the Close to My Heart Artiste Cartridge

Glove cut at 3.75 inches with the Sports Mania Cartridge

Baseball cut at 2 inches with the Sports Mania Cartridge

Letters cut at 2 inches with the A Child's Year Cartridge

Banner (red) cut at 1 inch, (white) at 3/4 of an inch with the Close to My Heart Artiste Cartridge

Tags!

Hi, today I am showing a few more things that you can make using the Close to my Heart Artiste Cricut Cartridge along with the coordinating Very Merry Christmas (October Stamp set). Now keep in mind that if you spend $50.00 you can get this stamp set for just $5.00m (only until October 31). It truly is a must have stamp set!

I decided to make a few tags. I did the same cuts a few times and tried showing you a few ways that you could change the look just by adding layers, or if you like the simple look, you could just leave some layers out. You can use them ANY way you want. If you like to bake during the holidays you could wrap them around your baked good, stick them on top of jars (like I did...lol), embellishments or simply just use them as tags. Use your imagination!

Using the Artiste Cartridge, (pg 50) I cut the brown out at 1 1/4, the green (pg 79) at 2 and the stamped piece at 1 3/4. Real super easy and then embellished it a little! Could be used as a tag or wrapped around a jar.

 All I did here was to add another bow to add more dimension. Really love this look! I cut this out from pg.55 at 7 1/2. It looks super cute on top of the jar!

 If you are looking for less, this look is really nice too, all I did was remove the brown fan. Still super cute!

This is a whole different tag (pg. 35) I cut the designer paper at 3 1/2 and the green at 3. I placed the tag with some non permanent tape so it could easily be removed and be used as a Christmas gift tag, if the persons receiving this gift would like to use it.

Hope you enjoyed it!

It coordinates with the Cricut Artiste Cartridge (which is super awesome). If you haven't seen it check it out HERE.
