Gift Box

This cute little bag is cut on the Artiste cricut cartridge. It's a good size box, it would nicely fit a small gift or candy! For this project I choose to pull out my re-inkers and spray pens. I cut down some burlap ribbon and tied on a cute tag.

You're the Best

I like to send cards just because. I think people enjoy getting a card for no reason, just to say hi or to tell them they are great!!  This is one of those cards. I used the great stamps from the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge to make the focal image. I added some burlap ribbon and little bit of twine to finish it off.

From the Library

I am such a big reader, so when I came across this "from the Libray" stamp in the Scholastic Workshop on the Go I fell in love. When my Lucy trailer is all done (and I promise to update you soon on that we are just about done with the inside) one of the 1st parties I plan to have is a book exchange party! This stamp will come in handy for that.

Highlight the Date

Remember the Advent Calendar from last month? The kit came with some extra chipboard pieces that I saved for.... well I just saved them. I had no real plan for them, but couldn't trash them. Take a look at what I used them for- to create a special birthday card highlighting the date-December 9th! I think this is a great way to personalize a card for a very special person.

12 month Mini Album

My little princess pug, Dixie makes a great mini album subject. For this tiny little mini album I chose to add a picture for each month of the year listed on the November Stamp of the Month. It folds up neatly and is held together with a band. The band has the cupcake from the Artiste cricut cartridge on the front with multicolored sprinkles from the November stamp of the Month stamp set.

Get creative with numbers

Number sprinkles!! I cut this card using the CTMH cricut Artiste cartridge- isn't it cute? Take a look at my sprinkles I used the tiny numbers from the November Stamp of the Month to create them. I created this card with no one in particular in mind, but what if it was for a 5 year old and you used the #5 as the sprinkles, that would make it personalized! The cherry is also cut on the Artiste cartridge and I added some red glitz glue to make it shine.

Get creative with stamps for borders

Today I want to show you how to get creative with the November Stamp of the Month. See the fun multicolored boarder on this card? I used the top half of the #2 to create it. Look at the picture below. I used the back side of the pattern paper to create a mask and I stamped the 2 all the way across. It's simple but it adds just the right detail. The cute little cupcake was cut with the Artiste Cartridge.
