Close to My Heart Artiste Cartridge with LARGE stamp set photos- Available August 1

Close to My Heart and Provo Craft have teamed up again to create another fabulous, "gotta have it" cartridge!  This one is called "Artiste" and will be available for purchase starting August 1, 2012 on Melanie's CTMH site HERE.

Check it out below:

Below is a sample handbook page.  What is neat is that each page/key has all matching elements.  So, as below, it's all about clocks.  The next image down shows one of the handbook pages for Halloween.

To see the whole handbook, click HERE, where you can also download it.  What's nice also is that when you get the cartridge, it comes with two handbooks - the regular one AND one that shows how to assemble the 3-D objects (very handy!).

In the package from Close to My Heart, there are also three coordinating stamp sets (see below):

What's great about these stamps is that they tell you exactly what page the matching Cricut cut is on and exactly what size to cut it at to make it match perfectly.  So easy to use the stamps!

There are also coordinating pieces of chipboard that match the stamp shapes in the package.

So, the Artiste cartridge, three stamp sets and chipboard retails for $99 plus tax and shipping and will be available for purchase starting on August 1, 2012 on Melanie's site HERE.

I've made quite a few projects with this cartridge, which I will be showing here and on Everyday Cricut as the ordering date gets closer.  You are going to love it - I do!  I actually like it better than last year's Close to My Heart cartridge, which although also fabulous, didn't have the holidays spelled out like this one does.  I always love the holidays! Plus I love all the 3-D objects on this one!

Do you like it?  Are you planning to get it?  I'd love to know your thoughts!
