Fall Wreath Using Cricut Cartridges

I made this burlap wreath last year using burlap ribbon and a wire wreath form. I have made snowflakes, fourth of July rosettes and now fall leaves to decorate it. I cut all of these leaves out on my Cricut with the CTMH Art Philosophy and Artiste cartridges. I hot glued the leaves onto a cardboard form and then pinned the whole thing onto the wreath making  it interchangeable for the different seasons. Happy Stamping! Sandee

Home of the Brave!

Quick card I made using this month's special release stamp set "Home of the Brave" D1576  I stamped directly onto White Daisy cardstock using Cranberry, Grey Wool  and Outdoor Denim Ink. The paper strip on the bottom was a scrap I had left over from the retired Super Hero paper. I wrapped it with cranberry striped baker's twine.  Flag and lady Liberty were stamped, then cut out and popped up for more dimension! I added red glitzy glitter and some silver stars!

This set is $17.95 with $5 being donated to the LSO the leading service and support organization for the US military! Ask me how to get your special stamp too!

This stamp set is only available for the month of July.

CTMH Chantilly Spring Cards Using Cricut Art Philosophy

I made a couple cards using the new Chantilly papers! I used the CTMH exclusive Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut out the cards and the birds!  These cards have no stamping on them! The sentiments are from the border zip strips that come on the papers. A little bonus each paper has! Colors are better in person!

Chantilly Banner Birthday Card

 I made a couple of sweet cards using our new Chantilly paper packet! This paper features the bright  colors of Spring: Cotton Candy, Pear, Ruby, Buttercup, Sunset and Twilight. This card has a little bling, a little baker's Twine and some retired Pink Pom Pom Ribbon!

The second card is a standard A2 card. I used the card pattern found in the Chantilly Card Workshop on the Go! It includes a great stamp set with banners, the cake and other images for celebrating. I added a little bling and some more of that great Pom Pom Ribbon ! Happy Stamping! Sandee

Paper cutting tricks!

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!
