Birthday Card using CTMH Products

Hi friends so happy that you have stopped by!

Today I am sharing a fun and simple birthday card. I used the CTMH Artistry Cartridge and CTMH Birthday Sparkles stamp set!!

Here is my card...

I took some white embossing paste and some Cashmere CTMH ink to add some color to my paste. Using a dotted stencil I applied the paste to the base of my card to add a little texture.

I cut the ice cream cone image on pg.17 in the Artistry handbook out of some watercolor paper and used some watercolors to paint my cone and ice cream.  Once that dried, I used foam adhesive to add my cone to the card to help add more dimension.

I finished it off by stamping my sentiment using the CTMH Birthday Sparkles stamp set onto some vellum with some black embossing powder and that's it, nothing else to it!! I really had lots of fun creating this card, great for anyone celebrating a birthday!!

I appreciate you stopping by, thanks so much! Have a fabulous day!!

I decided to make a tag/gift card holder for a gift bag that would be fabulous for Mother's Day!

I used an image from the Close to My Heart Artistry cartridge to cut out my floral image from some watercolor paper and simply used some watercolors to paint my images.

I used Pretty Cute Stamps Many Thanks stamp set for my sentiment and Pretty Cute Stamps Spring Flowers for my stamped flower images that I stamped on the inside of my gift card!

This was so super easy to create and it's a fun way to decorate a gift bag for any occasion.  Well that is all that I have for you today.

Thank you so much for stopping by!! Have a fabulous weekend!

Candy Bar Treat Boxes

Hi friends, today I am sharing this fun post over at The Crafty Pickle blog!

I'm currently working on a few items for an upcoming craft fair that I will be participating in. I shared this project last year in December, a step-by-step on how to make the box treat, but this time around I used my Cricut and a couple of the CTMH Cricut Cartridges to decorate my boxes.

Here are a couple that I've made so far...

I used the CTMH Artistry Cartridge to cut out my snowflakes out of some glitter card stock and added some foam dimensional to add a bit of dimension to them.

 I took the Treats of Friendship stamp set, also from Close to My Heart, to stamp the cute image on my tag.

The deer and the design behind the deer came from the CTMH Artistry Cartridge and the ornament was cut using the CTMH Artiste Cartridge. For the sentiment on the deer box, I used the CTMH Holiday Tags stamp set to add my sentiment.

I still have a few to finish, but I wanted to share the ones that were done and in case you were interested in the tutorial click HERE to read that post.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you have a fabulous day!

"Grateful for You" CTMH Cricut Artistry Cartridge

Happy Tuesday, friends! Today I am sharing this card over at The Crafty Pickle blog. I used Close to My Heart Cricut Artistry Cartridge to create it.

Here is my simple card for today...

This cartridge seriously has some fabulous cut designs! I used the image on page 45 in the handbook to create my card with my Cricut. I started out by placing a 4 x 5 1/4 rectangle on my screen and placed the solid image (pg. 45 ) right in the center. I then hit the slice button to cut the image out, I used some CTMH Cardstock (this exact pattern is the retired one, but you could definitely pick up the new patterns HERE) to use as my top panel. I also cut the coordinating "Grateful For You" image from the same page out of some brown card stock.

I then took my card base and placed my top panel on top and traced my image to it to cut it out with a craft knife, I did this because I wanted to add some acetate to see through the card. So when I was done with that I glued my acetate piece to my card base then layered my top panel and finally glued my "Grateful For You" image right in the center.

I finished my card by gluing some TCP Relish Mix and added some Wink of Stella glitter to my image. Super simple card but I really like the way it turned out! It's also a great card to make multiples of if you need several because of the simplicity of it.

Well thanks so much for stopping by, have a FABULOUS day!!

"Merry Christmas" using the CTMH Artistry Cartridge

Happy Friday friends! Thank you, thank you so much for stopping by!

Today I am showcasing the new and WONDERFUL cartridge from Close To My Heart Artistry! OMG, this cartridge is truly AMAZING! I love everything about it!

Here is the first of many cards that I made using this AMAZING cartridge!

I started off by cutting the image from pg. 1 from some black and white card stock and used the MFT Swiss Dots BG to stamp a background on the white piece.  I also found a little poinsettia and stamped it with some VersaMark Ink and embossed it with some red embossing powder and added a little green gem to the center to add a little something.

I then took the image from pg.45 and cut that out with some gold glittered card stock. I finished the card by added some foam adhesive to the back of my deer and label, stamped my sentiment using the CTMH Holiday Tags stamp set and glued some sequins down.

I hope you enjoyed this card! Have a FABULOUS day!
