December Blog Hop
My focus this month is Christmas gifts. Some of the other bloggers are going to share the NEW products from the Seasonal Expressions and I'm sure you will be inspired.
I made ornaments for the tree using our new Cricut Cartridges "Artfully Sent", "Artiste" and Art Philosophy.
'The nativity was from pg 46 Artfully Sent, the star from pg 23 in Art Philosophy. Merry Christmas was cut from pg 80 in Artiste.
I cut everything out in vinyl and placed it on the ornament. Remember when you use vinyl to set your pressure at 3 so you don't all the way through the paper.
Now hop over to Crystal's blog and see what she created I'm sure you'll like what you see.

Sherpherd's card

The words were stamped in black using 3 different sets. D1613 or B1468 for the Joy. C1598 for the "to the world" and D1614 Reason for the Season for the star. |

November Blog Hop
Welcome to our November Blog Hop.
This is a monthly hop to get you inspired with Close to My Heart products. Enjoy the hop, this is a continuous hop and when you get back to me you know you went all the way around.
Holiday Wreath
This is a great gift idea, by adding a picture in the center and a ribbon hanger you will want to add this to your tree. Make it bigger and it can be a table decoration with a pillar candle or make it bigger and it can be a door decoration. You will need 12 3x3" pcs of Snow Haven paper and one scrap piece of paper the same size. This will make a 3" wreath. I'm working on a video with the directions. Hopefully it will be ready in the next couple of days,
Now hop on over to Helen's blog and see what she has been creating.

foil embossing
I bumped into a technique that using heavy duty aluminum foil and our new embossing floral folder. Glue foil unto cardstock, wrap the edges around to the back. We used a brayer to smooth out the foil. Run the foil through your cuddlebug and with the alcohol ShinHan markers color the raised area with a light touch. Place the foil on cardstock card base that matches the markers used. I used Thistle.
This would look nice with a black sentinment. Wednesday, October 22, 2014

October Blog hop
Welcome to our October Blog hop, We have lots to share and you may even get a glimpse of samples featuring our NEW "Artfully Sent" Cricut cartridge.
This month I have been having lots of fun using the NEW Artfully Sent. One of my favorite cards I made is this nativity pop-up. It goes very well with the stamp set D1614 Reason for the Season.
I used Yuletide Carol paper packet x7187B
Glitter paper Z1830
Bling gems gold Z2023
Liquid glass z679
Can you believe that all those shapes were cut from the Cricut? The insert provides the pop out ledges to put your figures on. The star was cut out of the insert and I backed it with glitter paper. Love that stuff!!! I used Basic paper fundamentals Z1939 for the black paper, notice it has a glossy pattern to it. This paper comes in many different colors and designs on both sides.This paper cuts great on the cricut: I will be showing more ideas with this paper in my next posts.

Having some fun with the new "Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge. One of the Icon on the Cartridge is this bicycle, it's so cool to have a bike that you can make anysize, any color. Paper piece it by cutting it out again and you can change the fenders or seat a different color.

Artfully Sent one key
Pop up card
This was really on black paper and looks much better in person.
When I had Cricut club this month, I told them no homework and we made cards using Artfully Sent and just one key. I have more to show just using one key. So keep checking in or better yet follow my blog and you will get an email when I post and you won't miss a thing.
The inside was cut out of orange paper mounted on a black base, which is a key on the cartridge, so you don't even have to figure out the base size.
We were cutting the spider out of black sparkle paper. Nice accent!

September Blog hop
The pumpkin above, I made about 2 years ago with the Cricut Artiste CTMH Cartridge. I
cut it out and ran it through the Cuddlebug to give it that swirly texture. I was made to hold chap stick or any other goodies. This one is about 2 1/2 inches tall and the neat part about the Cricut is that you can make it any size you want.
