So this weekend I was showing a friend how to make some cards and I chose to do 5 x 7 size. I showed her how to cut the 5 x 7 card and then use the remainder 5 x 5 piece for a little tent style card. (See previous post For Always!)
I then showed her how to cut (4) 5 x 7 pieces of background and texture paper from one 12 x 12 with no waste. I sometimes forget that not everyone knows these tricks! LOL! I found a great tutorial from the Cafe Crop site with a PDF file too! I hope they don't mind me posting it!
Too great to not share!

Later Sk8r! Fun Valentine using new papers!
Sneak peek of our fun new masculine papers called Later Sk8r (X7167B $9.95)! Super cool! I also used a new spinner stamp set called Wheel of Life (D1545 $17.95) You + Me is from Whoos Your Valentine set! I cut the gear behind the UR with the CTMH Cricut cartridge Artiste, added a little sponged distressing! Colors are Lagoon, Pear and White.

Sneek peak today of For Always (X7165B $9.95)! This is so pretty and versatile! Six different patterns using black and white! I also used a new stamp from the set Frame Flair (D1546 $17.95) Notice the little decorative strip in the middle? That is the bonus zip strip from on top of the paper! Happy Stamping! Sandee

Mustache Valentine's using CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge
Not the best picture, but my DD Morgan and I made these mustache candy sticks for all the boys in her class for Valentine's Day! We used the CTMH Cricut cartridge Artiste! The candy is Valentine Sixlets from the Dollar store (MHO they don't taste that great!) On the back we made little labels that say Happy Valentine's Day Your Friend, Morgan. She would like to cut out lips for the girls. I need to find a cut for that next!
Happy Stamping! Sandee

Sneak Peek from New Catalog! Girls Rock
The new catalog goes live on February 1st and I have them now! I was able to order a few preview items! The cover of the catalog showcases the new paper packet Chantilly. It is a girly mix of paisley flowers and petite backgrounds. Love the springy colors!
I just had to make a couple cards with these bright colors using the new Girls Rock stamps! I cut all of the flowers using the Art Philosphy Cricut Cartridge!
Happy Stamping! Sandee!
