Stamping up Cards

Both of these cards were made using Stamping Up cardstock and retired decorative paper. The tree stamp is from Stamping Up Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. I love these colors together with the cocoa ink pad.

Cricut Valentines

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Been busy with the holidays and all. Really had withdrawal symptoms because I didn't make a card or anything for over a month. But now I am back into the swing of things, whatever that means.

Got a bargain the other day at Hobby Lobby. Got a Cricut cartridge called Graphically Speaking on clearance. Was originally marked 49.97 and I got it for 10.97. Had to play with it and make some valentines. Hope you enjoy.

 

This one says "You drive me crazy, Valentine" inside.

This one says" Bunches of Love" inside.

Quilted Card

I had this Close to My Heart set for a while and haven't used it, so I thought I would today. I love the look of quilts. This set is really great and has all sorts of faux stitching with it too.

Here is a picture of the set. It is called Stitch Wonder. You can purchase this and other sets and tools and embellishments from my Close to My Heart website www.meemee.ctmh.com. You can also view the current fall catalog and the Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide and any current sales or promotions while you're there.


                         

Birthday Card for a Hunter

I have been real busy lately and haven't posted much. Had a garage sale and made $680. I am also painting my bedroom and will lay down tile when I get through. Also I have been playing with my new Close To My Heart Cricut Cartridge called Artiste. It has 700 images on it!! I have got around to making everything yet but am trying.

This is a card my next door neighbor asked me to make for her husband's birthday. He is a hunter.
Used Stamping Up Lovely as a Tree. The deer image is from Stampabilities.

CTMH Cricut Artiste Cartridge

I have been playing with my new CTMH Cricut Artiste Cartridge and I am having a ball. I don't even own a Cricut, but a friend of my keeps hers here because she doesn't have room for it. So I decided to buy the Artiste cartridge from Close to My Heart. It has 700 images on it. You can make all sorts of cards, boxes, envelopes, sacks, etc. The list seems endless and it is so easy to use.

Also when you buy the cartridge for $99, you get three CTMH acrylic stamps sets that coordinate with the Artiste cartridge and you also get coordinating chip boards sets that match the cartridge and the stamp sets. Not only do you get a booklet that shows you how to cut, you also get a booklet that shows you how to assemble everything. There are also how to videos on the CTMH website and You tube.

I am a newbie and have never used a Cricut before and this has been so fun. Here's a couple of the things I made this week. I made a whole lot more and am not thru yet.

You can order the Cricut Artiste cartridge from my Close to My Heart website www.meemee.ctmh.com

You will not regret it. I was only going to buy 1 cartridge. They have 2 others. Art Philosphy and Artbooking, but if they are as good as the Artiste, I will have to have all 3.

Top Note Critters

About a month ago, I went to a garage sale and got a Big Shot with a bunch of Sizzix dies for $35. Can't beat bargains like that! One of the dies was a Stamping Up Top Note Die. I have been having fun ever since. Ha!

I got the ideas for these projects from Pinterest and You Tube.

Two New Close To My Heart Cards

Got new goodies from Close To My Heart today. Had to Play!

The first one is using the CTMH Acrylic Stamp Set Remarkable Wreath. The sentiment is from CTMH Always Grateful.

 

 

The Next card was made using the new Laughing Lola Paper Pack. Love the colors. I also used the CTMH Acrylic Stamp Set Hooray Boquet.
