This matching stamp set has the sizing and page number where you will find the cut on the Artbooking cartridge. I cut the elegant shape using the real dial size at 3" and 3-1/4" from page 47 in the Artbooking handbook.
To see how I made this card AND how I tie my bows so precisely (there's a secret...),
check out the video below (click HERE if you can't see the video):
Here is the CTMH Laughing Lola paper pack I used:
Two questions I got yesterday:
1) What else can you use instead of transfer tape with the vinyl? Do you have to use it?
Yes, you do need it. I've heard of people using the clear contact paper from the Dollar Store (needs to be the cheap kind) and then pressing their hands on it so it isn't too sticky. I have not tried this so I'm not sure that works.
2) Can the charger plate with vinyl be washed?
Probably. I have plastic tumblers that I vinyled a long time ago (2+ years) and they are still going strong and I wash those in the top rack of the dishwasher.
But, I also did get an email from a concerned reader who said the charger material could leach onto the food. So, maybe wrap in Saran Wrap or put a clear plastic plate on top so you can still see the design but it doesn't touch the food.

ReplyDeleteI have a Cricut Expression 2 and cannot use it enough, it seems!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the gardening theme! I'm trying to become a better gardener. LOL. But I live in Texas where it just refuses to rain. So I think I'd have better luck making my flowers from paper.
ReplyDeleteI have the Expression 2 (when they were first released), the Personal, Expression and Imagine. I prefer the Expression. I love the Lola paper. I watched the video and thanks for the bow tip.
ReplyDeleteSharon

ReplyDeleteI have the original Cricut plus the Cricut Expression. I would love to get the CTMH Cricut cartridges someday. Depends on the budget.

I do not have a Cricut Expression 11... Maybe when I wear out my Cricut Expression...Love the CTMH crafts!
ReplyDeleteI just have the Expression machine, but I have to say I just LOVE it! It has brought so much joy to my life by the smiles I can bring others with my creations :)
ReplyDeleteI only have the Imagine which unfortunately, having problems with CCR. I was able to make it work before but now, they must have changed their minds because I am unable to cut at all. I am not into changing machines yet.
ReplyDeleteRE: the Lola collection, can you buy the patterned papers individually? I am looking for a purple colored patterned paper for a purple themed party. Thanks for the tutorial!
I only have the Cricut Mini- but I love it!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with CTMH making stamps to go with cartridges, very clever. This new set of paper is so pretty, Would love to win a prize too.
ReplyDeleteI will need a second job at this rate, LOL! But then I wouldn't have time to craft. Keep up the great work!

Love the card, especially the colorful paper. I only have the original expression. It is on the blink however. Sometimes it doesn't want to work right for me. I guess it's getting arthritis like me.
ReplyDeleteDutchie100

Stunning card! I love it. I have both a Cricut Expression 2 at my summer home and a Cricut at my winter place! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletePretty card. Great video, I'm going to look for that Bow Easy.
ReplyDeleteI have the original expressions, works fine so I can't see spending money on the 2 even if it is nicer, rather spend it on things like the artbooking cart, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your perfect bow making secret! I do have an E2 and usually use my gypsy with it as I find that easier than using the Cricut screen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card. TFS.
ReplyDeleteI have a Baby Bug and an Expression. No E2.

I started with the Create and have upgraded to the Expression, but not to the Expression 2. I really like the idea of it being wireless, but I have to admit, I use my gypsy more than CCR, so it isn't worth the extra $$$ for me. Love, love, love all your creations! Keep them coming...
ReplyDeleteyes I am ready for some Christmas cards!!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for all you do and share with us all...have a great day
I AM ready for Christmas card videos - I've been thinking about the design I want to use this year! Love the colors for your Baby Girl layout. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
ReplyDeletePretty awesome stuff. Grandma from chi-town ready for Christmas. Teaching my grandbabies all about scrapbooking!
ReplyDeleteI so appreciate your tutorials with video. Thank you for sharing. I do not have the Expression 2;one still does a great job.

Hi, Joy. I really like this cute card. The colors you used in this card is amazing. Thank you for doing a video on this beautiful card. I really like this cartridge that you are giveaway!!! This cartridge has some adorable little people on it and it remind me of a kid show but right now I can't remember the name.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great day :-)

Beautiful card! I do have an E2! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteI have the original cricut. Will this cartridge work with it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous purple card. Instead of the central sentiment, I'd love to put a Halloween icon like a hissing black cat or jolly jack-o-lantern for a most unique card with the Halloween-friendly purples! Thanks for the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI do not own the E2 machine. But my Expression 1 is still going strong!
