Today's Christmas card is all about the glitter! I love glitter paper and Christmas cards just lend themselves to glitter, don't they? LOL!
This 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card was created entirely using the Close to My Heart Artiste Cartridge and cut out in a snap. Another easily replicated card!
Here are the cuts I used:
The cut above was welded to make the card using the Cricut Craft Room (Don't know how to weld in the Cricut Craft Room? Check out this video).
If you didn't want to do that, you could use a scallop punch along the edges OR just cut this piece and mount it on the card front.
And of course, I used the Close to My Heart Artiste Cartridge (click HERE for more info):
Check out the video below on how to make this card (click HERE if you can't see the video):

Super cute and easy card!
ReplyDeleteYour card is simply gorgeous. I love all the awesome cuts you found on the Artiste cartridge they are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you re: Christmas cards just lend themselves to need glitter, glitter, glitter!!! I love your cards so much you always create with passion and your commentary is always so sweet and fun I love spending time with you. Have a marvelous Monday!!
Your card is very pretty and does look like it would be easy enough to mass produce. Of course all the glitter makes the difference. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI love glitter paper, too. It's so festive! Your card is really pretty, Joy.
ReplyDeleteI love sparkle! That card does look easy to duplicate. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty....I love glitter!! I could always use more help with vinyl, but I just look forward to see what you bring us every day! :)
ReplyDeleteThat card is beautiful & looks so difficult with such simple cuts! Thank you for your great ideas! I could make a multiple of these easily & be done...thank you thank you! I have lots of Halloween cartridges, but I keep looking at Monster Bash...would love to win it since I have the rest of the Cricut Halloween cartridges. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI think tutorial on envelope making might be nice.

Super simple, my kind of caard. Love the sparkle and glitter.
ReplyDeleteI love all your tutorials - and can't think of what I need help on- every thing you show has tips on how to do it better and easier! I do like some of your fancy fold cards... always fun to learn - and maybe some 3D kind of objects - how to get them together! There has to be an easier way than what I have done! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL CARD Joy!
Lovely card - I appreciate that you are going back to other carts, and not just artbooking, although I like those also. I often forget what is on the older carts.
ReplyDeleteLove all the sparkle! I just can't wait every day to see what you do next! Love your tutorials!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I don't have any specific tutorial requests; I'm sure I'll be inspired by whatever you choose!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I agree, maybe sometime a little more intricate with vinyl. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove the card. Always appreciate your videos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! Your videos are so helpful. Can't wait for the next one.
ReplyDeleteI would love a tutorial on emboss resist. I'm afraid of it only because I don't know how to do it.
ReplyDeleteI love glitter paper and bought lots of it but never use it for some reason. Now that I see your card I am going to give it a try. Thanks for all you inspiration. Have a fun day!
ReplyDeleteI think I need a refresher course on choosing the correct settings for cutting out various items with the cricut. Especially with the Monster Bash having so many intricate cuts.
ReplyDeleteHow about a video on different ways to use the cardboard cutouts that come with the CTMH cartridges? Thanks for sharing your techniques!
ReplyDeleteLike the glitter paper. I like the idea that snowbear mentioned on a refesher course in settings for cutting various materials on Cricut as well as how to do layers.

Card is beautiful. Need a video on the cutting settings - real? or not? To me that seem to cut the same.
ReplyDeleteI too like lots of glitter.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see how to make the perfect bow.
Love love love this card! I would like a video on how to keep from welding things in CCR. I keep on accidentally doing it, and it won't unweld. Arrrgh!
ReplyDeleteyea for tutorials. Put out Halloween décor with Gkids yesterday. Hope I win to do new pages.

Lovely card - but I own a bunch of old carts that I haven't had a chance to try yet, so appreciate seeing things made with them. I love videos on any techniques!

Love your card!
ReplyDeleteI recently tried stamping a large stamp and had trouble getting it to come out even. I know I had the color put on right. I just couldn't get the pressure correct. Any tips on that would be appreciated. Thank you so much.
Lovely card.

Joy, where do you find your inspiration? Everything looks "just so". I would love a demo on using negative space or cutting chipboard w the cricut. I can never get the chipboard and the paper to match, even if cut at the same setting. Can you glue the paper to the chipboard and cut?
ReplyDeleteLovely card!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Veronica
Another beautiful card! I would love a tutorial on cutting chipboard and ways to use the chipboard shapes that came with Artiste and Artbooking. Your videos are always informative and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your tips!
ReplyDeletepretty card!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love glitter paper!!!! I love to incorporate it in projects, I think it draws better attention!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do more home decor projects! Maybe some shadow boxes and definately some ornaments to hang on my Christmas tree this year!!
Thanks for sharing Joy, I'd like to see more videos with the CTMH Cricut cartridges. Thanks for all the great ideas.

ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to Columbus Day weekend this year as I am going away on a Scrapbooking weekend. 15 friends have reserved a summer camp for the weekend...and we will be setting up on Friday for 3 days of non stop scrapping....stopping only to eat and sleep! We do it 2x a year. We take our Cricut machines, scrapping supplies...they have the tables and chairs...and we enjoy sharing and scrapping together. Linda Talso
