Cricut club for April

 Cards from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge look hard to make, but they are really fast and easy.

 We made bird houses this month for Cricut club, everything was cut from the Artiste cricut cartridge

Above and below are cards made with slip off sleeves. These are all cut the same  size because they are linked and there is no guess work , if you want to recipe for these, just email me at Stampn4joy@aol.com

Spring Card Making day

If you were lucky enough to attend yesterday's Spring Fling you have these cards to be proud of.

We had 10  CTMH consultants to help prepare for this day. I praise them for all the hard work they did to make a fun day for all.  The food was great and the cards were showcasing all of new spring papers and accessories.

For Always
Crystal made this card which showed using white daisy ink,   June Stamp of the month, markers or colored pencils, black shimmer trim and a special black glitter button.

Chantilly
Liz brought this card for everyone to make using 12 squares and some other shapes using the Cricut. Stamp set is "Happy Thoughts C1536

Claire
Micki designed this card, using Cricut flower shapes from "Girl's Rock" C1538, and the new Happy Birthday set ''Joyful Birthday B1419

Tommy
Betty designed this card using White daisy pigment ink, "Joyful Birthday" B1419 and the chalk marker.  Pinwheels  are popular and easy to make using a square or cutting them out with the Cricut, see the May Stamp of the month.

Later Sk8R
Lori made this card using" A Journey" A1127 , this set also has some really neat pine tree, that would good on a Christmas card. Check this out on page 74 in the spring catalog.  

Buzz and Bumble
Nancy Brown brought this card to make "Country Born  D1443"  stamp set, the flower was from the Workshop on the go stamp set.
The workshop on the go have some great stamp sets, check them out.   

Tommy
Regina made this Tommy card giving everyone a choice, with different  elements and papers. The stamp set was from the Workshop on the go Tommy.

Stacy was not able to attend, but her creative artwork was there.   We got to see alot of her  artwork on the raffle table, she made this hot air balloon,  3-D lamps, picnic baskets and a turtle all with our new paper.  

DREAM POP
This is the card that I brought to make, I wanted to feature  the May Dream Pop  paper  special.  This paper pack comes with  bright colors and resist.  If you look at the flower, you will see shiny lines that can be sponged in all different colors to match any look that you want.  The paper on the left is another paper from Dream Pop and we highlighted it with black shimmer trim.  "Frame it Up"  D1524, was framed with my favorite Joyful Birthday B1419.  I love the new screen stamp D1544 with the black tulle.  

Class cards

Today we made cards that were clean and simple.

This is a sample of the stamp of the month, we loved that fact that the bird and the wing was cut with the Artiste Cricut cartridge, which make this card so easy.  Wait until you see the hot air balloon!

The gears card is a great masculine card and easy to make.  Using the Aritiste Cricut cartridge, the gears are plentiful and there are tons to pick from.

She also gave me 2 of my favorite candies, snickers and peanut M&M's that were shared with my daughter and new son-in-law.  Lindsey picked out my favorite paper pack from the new catalog.....Chantilly.  Go to my website to view the new Catalog or contact me to get one in your hands.  

Favors

Thanks to wonderful friends, Mickey, Sybilla, Judie and Debi, the favors got made in no time at all. We used new CTMH paper called "For always" and we used the Cricut "Artiste" to cut the box and lid and the banner and the rose.  I also ordered the personalized name stamp to stamp their name and date on the banner.  Liquid glass was used to hold the boxes together and the bottom of the box was dry embossed, black pearls were added as an accent.  

The finished product

These boxes were filled with Gertrude Hawk Chocolates in a matching teal bag with a charm hanging "To Love and Cherish"

Thank you my great friends!!!!
