La Belle Vie CTMH Birthday Card

Just because I could not resist this beautiful new paper from Close To My Heart! A simple little birthday card ! La Belle Vie is a french inspired paper using smoky plum, black, bamboo and  exclusive colors la Belle Vie pink and mauve! I used a card pattern from the new book Make It From the Heart and the Artiste CTMH Cricut cartridge! I also used our color ready ribbon! This card came together very quickly!

August SOTM Wedding Card with Artiste Rosette

I had the pleasure of attending a good friend's wedding last night! It was a beautiful wedding in traditional red, white and black! I made this card for them using papers from our Pear and Partridge collection, the August Stamp of the Month and the stamp set 4 My Friend (D1510). I added some of the new black tulle and a rosette I made from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge. This is the same card pattern I used for the last card I posted! As a bonus, I made another card using the same materials turned sideways for my sister's Birthday! Happy Stamping! Sandee

Rosette with new Artiste CTMH Cricut Cartridge

I made this lovely rosette with the new CTMH Cricut Cartridge "Artiste". It is so easy... you cut two borders 1 1/2", score at each scallop and glue together to form the rosette! Easy peasy, thanks to Artiste! I made this card with the Florentine paper packet. Still one of my very favorite, versatile colors! The new Artiste cartridge is available to order now! You will not be disappointed! There are over 700 images! Boxes, cards, rolled flowers, rosettes, party themes like card night, movie night, baby, wedding, love, Boy birthday, Girl birthday, Halloween, Christmas and more, cupcake holders and picks. Too much to list! Order online at www.sandeestamps.ctmh.com , click on the link to the right or email me directly at sandeestamps@gmail.com

This is the same card with reversed colors! Happy Stamping! Sandee!

New CTMH papers Scholastic Birthday Card

I made this quick and easy Birthday card for a guy friend of mine! I used the new Scholastic papers, cupcake stamp from the Artiste Cricut Bundle, black jute and brads. I love to distress my papers with a chocolate ink pad. I also pop dot most of my images. The design came from our new Make It From The Heart layout book. This is such a bargain at only $7.95. The card designs are so easy and versatile. All are standard A2 cards. There  are also several double page layouts with full color pictures, cutting diagrams too!

 Happy Stamping! Sandee

New Flirty Paper CTMH Blessings Card

I just had to make a card with our new Flirty papers! The colors are so bright and fun! This card has no stamping on it! I used the papers for the backgrounds, cut out the rose and pop dotted it on and added the bow! I did edge distress all the papers with chocolate ink. The sayings are from the zip strips! These are bonus elements on each patterned paper. One side has a list of coordinating colors and the other side has little sayings or designs elements to add to your cards and layouts!

I have to say I did not even like this paper in the idea book, but in person it is gorgeous! You must see it!

 I have been busy crafting the last couple nights and have lots more pictures to post of new papers! Details on my Open House coming soon! Happy Stamping! Sandee
