"Happy Birthday" CTMH Build-a-Cake

Hi friends! Today I am  this birthday card over at The Crafty Pickle Blog. I used the Close to My Heart "Build-a-Cake" stamp set to create it!

I started off my stamping my cake image using CTMH Inks in colors Black, Honey and Cotton Candy! I did want to point out that the top layer image of my cake is part of the stamp set (the original image has some flowers, but after I stamped my image I took a blending pen and some of the Cotton Candy ink and filled those flowers in to give me a polka dotted cake layer). I then took a black gel pen to outline my cake and add some small details to my flower on top and simply layered my top panel to some pattern paper.

I completed my card by stamping my sentiment onto some vellum and adhered both my sentiment and some AWESOME TCP Relish Mix to my card. I know in the first picture my top left sequins look a bit purple but it's actually pink, I think my light was hitting it a bit too much, but you can see the pink in the second photo a lot better.

Well that is all for today, thank you so much for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!

Here is a look at the stamp set I used!

"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!!

Happy Saturday friends! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Today I am sharing a card that I made for Pretty Cute Stamps "Thank You" Challenge. Click HERE to get all of the details on how to enter your project and a chance to win a $15 Gift Certificate!

Here is my card...

I'm in love with "The Write Stuff" stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps. There are so many adorable images and the sentiments are fabulous too! I used my Cricut to cut my globe out from The Write Stuff SVG Cut file from some watercolor paper and used my watercolors to color it in.

I took some TCP Heart washi tape placed it on my top card panel and stamped my sentiment from the same stamp set and placed it slightly above my washi. I placed some foam adhesive behind the globe and tied a little silver thread to the bottom to add a bit more interest. 

I finished off my card by placing my top panel to a grey card base to match the stand of my globe and scattered some TCP Relish Mix.

"Oh Happy Day" CTMH Cricut Artiste Collection

Hi friends, thank you so much for stopping by!

Today I am sharing this card over at The Crafty Pickle blog and I would love if you could stop by their blog to check out other projects from the other Design Team Members.

As you may know, I own 4 out of 5 of the Cricut Collections that Close to My Heart offers. I absolutely love them. So with that being said I took one of the stamp sets from the Cricut Artiste Collection to create my card!

I started out with stamping and masking some balloons onto my front panel using CTMH Inks in colors Lagoon, Cotton Candy, and Honey and stamped the balloon strings using the same stamp set with some CTMH Black Ink.

Using the same stamp set from the Cricut Artiste Collection, I took one of the sentiments and stamped it with some Honey Ink and used my scissors to cut it out, there is an image on this cartridge that will cut this banner.

Before gluing my top panel to the base of my card, I took an older CTMH stamp set One Way Border and stamped one of the images multiple times with Black Ink to create a background. I finished it off by gluing my top panel down and gluing some TCP Relish Mix to my card.

Hope you enjoyed and thank you so much for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!

"Make It Merry" CTMH Stamp Set

Hi crafty friends! Today I am sharing two Christmas cards that I made for The Crafty Pickle Blog using Close to My Heart "Make It Merry" stamp set.

Here is my first card...

I used CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge to cut my tag, which coordinates with this stamp set. I took CTMH Pear and Topiary Inks to stamp my image onto my tag (I tried to create an ombre effect, it's acutally a bit more noticeable in person). I cut a piece of vellum a bit smaller than my colored card stock and then tied some ribbon to my top panel before gluing it down to my card base.

I finished it off by adding a bell to a bow I tied, scattered a few TCP Relish Mix and popped my label on some foam adhesive to add a bit more dimension to my card. That is all for this card!

Now my next card is mimicking a card that I posted on my blog a few days ago. I loved how it turned out, I did make a few changes to make it a little different.

Here it is...

I took some stitched circle dies I have to cut my circles out of some pattern paper. I stamped my sentiment, also from "Make It Merry", onto some vellum with VersaMark and heat embossed it with some black embossing powder.

I drew some white lines and then glued my circles down, adding some dimension to 2 of them.  I scattered some tone on tone TCP Relish Mix to match with the pattern paper. Super easy and simple!

Well that is all for today! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Mini Note Card Teacher Gift Set

Happy Thursday friends!

Stopping by to share a fun little gift set that I made for my son's teacher! 

I started off with a piece of 3x8 card stock and scored at 4 to give me a 3x4 card. I stamped the border onto the base of my card from the Celebrate Today stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps.  I took the SVG cutting file to cut my images from some card stock and then stamped the adorable coordinating images using The Write Stuff stamp set, also from Pretty Cute Stamps. I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color my images...aren't these images ADORABLE?!?!?!

To finish off these mini note cards, I placed some foam adhesive behind my images stamped the coordinating sentiments (from The Write Stuff stamp set) and added some TCP Jolly Holiday Relish Mix. I love this mix, especially because as you can see you get a variety of sizes and colors (red, green, yellow, light green, and white). You definitely need to stop by the TCP shop, there are some great new Relish Mixes that you need to check out!

I also used my envelope punch board to make some envelopes to go along with my cards. I placed all of my cards and envelopes in a cello bag, closed it with some washi and wrapped some twine to the top.

That's all for today! Make sure to stop by The Pretty Cute Stamps shop to check out the new stamp sets and make sure to follow so that you can stay updated on new releases, sneak peeks and design team member post! 

Hope you enjoyed today's mini project and I hope you have a FABULOUS day!
