Birthday Card Set in a Box

 This is a little set of Birthday cards that I put together. I plan to wrap the set up in cellophane and give it to my upcoming hostess. I used the Art Philosophy Cartridge Card feature to cut the cards. It's my favorite shape of all time.

A set of Trailer cards

This little set of trailer cards were super simple to make. I used the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the cards and then add a few strips of pattern paper, a sentiment, a stamped image and twine. I signed up for a craft fair this December so these will probably go in the sale pile!
Have a great weekend!

Lots of Love quilt card

This shape from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge is my all time favorite- this time I used up some scrap pattern paper along with glitter paper for a quilted look!

I so love circle cards- one of the reasons is because when you give them to someone and they discover that you made it- "WOW, it's a circle" is always fun to hear! Cutting shape cards is really a snap with the CTMH Artiste Cartridge and the Art Philosophy Cartridge!

 Happy Friday to you all!!
This card was cut on the Artiste Cricut Cartridge-- and sow was that sweet little birdy!! This card came together in no time at all. I cut out the card and the bird (and then switched over to the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the branch.) I then added some pattern paper, rose trim and pink gems. Lastly I stamped my sentiment and attached the bird.

Wonderful Beautiful Day

Back to my favorite-the square shaped card. Check out Monday's post to see another one. For this card I used the stamp that comes in the Buzz and Bumble Workshop on the Go. The sentiment is so cheery for just about any occasion! I chose to stamp the Beautiful banner in a darker color, trim it out and attach it with foam tape- making it stand out!!

Goldfish treat holder Video

I had several request for a tutorial on how to make the Goldfish treat holder. I didn't do a lot of editing so I could get it up today and my shirt is covered in flour because I am baking today!

Flower Cards

2 more projects from July A size Stamp Club-the grey card is cut from the cricut as well as the flower shapes. If you don't have the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge I highly recommend it, you can do so many things with it.

I missed your Birthday....

I don't forget Birthdays very often, but every now and then one slips by me :(. It happened last week so I quickly made this belated birthday cards. I used the great flower stamp from the Lucy WOTG and some of the great shimmer brads. The best part is that I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut out the flowers and the stamps match PERFECT!!

Enjoy Sweet Ginger-Nut Treats

 All month long is Buy 2 get 1 FREE Stamps from Close to My Heart, so this month I am going to show you some projects using 2 stamps (maybe even 3). To start off I made some really yummy Ginger-Nut cookies and decide to package up a few to take to a friend. I had some CD envelopes in my stash and thought they would be so cute and would show off the yummy cookies. For the 2 stamps I used Enjoy and Sweet Moments. Both of these are C size stamps, so if you order both of these you could get a C,B or A stamp for FREE!

 Now I bet you are wondering about these cookies...they are the softest most mouth watering little treats ever-they go so well with a cup of tea or coffee. You can find the recipe for these Ginger-Nut Biscuits here. Please give them a try, you will love them!

{4 my friend}

This card was inspired by a card by Dawn McVey, when I saw the card I knew that I wanted to recreate it because of the layered butterflies.  One of the great images that the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge cuts out are butterflies. Nesting butterflies are great!

Many Thanks Oval Card

I have a goal to use more of the shaped cards from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge, and I mean the different shapes not my go to scalloped square that I love so very much! This is the oval card and I added the great flower from the Card Word Puzzle Stamp set. I can always use Thank you cards, so I added the many thanks from the same stamp set-check out the stamp here.

Note box

 

Look at this cute little note box! About a month ago I saw a video on Youtube(I can't seem to find the link, but will keep looking. A big thanks to the original poster) and the person covered a box just like this. I ran out to Micheal's right away a got one! The best part is that it only cost 55 cents from the clearance bin!!! What a deal!! 

I first painted the box with white paint and then covered it with pieces of vintage sewing pattern tissue paper. I added a few strips of boarder paper and some 3D Flowers. I cut the big yellow on the Cricut using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and then add the cute little resin flowers!!
