Christmas Card using Artfully Sent

Hello!  Sorry I haven't posted in a while.  I started a new job and am having trouble getting my days more productive again!  Close To My Heart has a new exclusive to us Cricut Cartridge!  It is ARTFULLY SENT and has all kinds of cuts to make different styles of cards.  This cartridge is awesome!  It comes with 3 stamp sets and a pack of 12x12 white cardstock.  Here are a couple of pop-up style cards I have made using this new cartridge.  The first one is a Halloween card.  Sorry the lighting isn't very good on the pic of the inside.

I used our Halloween paper SCAREDY CAT for the front and the EEK is from the coordinating SCAREDY CAT COMPLIMENTS and I cut the web from the Artfully Sent cartridge.

The next card is a Christmas Card.  I used heat embossing on the front with SILVER EMBOSSING POWDER and used a strip of SILVER SHIMMER TRIM.  

On the inside I used a scrap of GOLD GLITTER CARDSTOCK behind the star.  I used a stamp from the retired 'Glory To God' stamp set.

If you haven't looked at the ARTFULLY SENT Cricut Cartridge, you really should.  It is great for cardmakers and if you don't make cards it might show you how easy it can be to do!

Thanks for stopping by. 

Happy Crafting!

Starting on Christmas

Hello!  it's a chilly morning here, so grab a cup of hot tea and take a look at a couple things I have made lately!  First one is a card I did for a group of ladies I was ask to give a small lesson to last week.  Some were very experienced while others had never made a paper anything before!  They were fun though and each  made a card like this, adding their own touches to it. All their cards turned out real cute!

 We used a CTMH cards and envelopes for the bases.  The striped paper, washi tape, and stamp are from our new FROM THE HEART HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE which goes live tomorrow!  We also used Ruby and Juniper cardstock and Ruby Ink .   The Bakers Twine is from the Harvest Assortment  and we used some Opaques Licorice Adhesive Gems on top.  A quick and simple card to send to friends for Christmas! 
The next picture is a Christmas tree I made!  Everything on it (papers and embellishments) are from our Holiday Gift Guide.  Mine is a little lop-sided and I took the picture of the wrong side, but I am sure you can get the idea!

Be sure to check my web site beginning tomorrow (Oct. 15) for a look at our Holiday Gift Guide!  There is also a fantastic special that is going along with it...you can pick out one free 'star' item in the gift guide for every $100 you spend on a single order between now and the end of the year!! (must be current product from our Gift Guide and/or Autumn Winter 2013 Idea Book)
