Make a Fast Holiday Card with Cricut Artfully Sent - Close to My Heart

Today's fast graphic Christmas card comes from the new Close to My Heart Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge and was such fun to make!
Here are the cuts I used - notice I have sizing for the different machines.
I saw this bow on the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge and had so much fun with it. You'll see it in some other cards I've made - I got a little addicted to it...
Here's a peek at the inside:
I also used this Merriest Christmas stamp set (a favorite from the new catalog):
Here's some more info about the new Close to My Heart Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge Bundle:
- There is a full font which is very cute
- 50 pop up cards with coordinating icons
- icons, shapes and phrases to coordinate
- 50 cards that create a scene or are swing cards (!)
- 100 quick and easy layered sentiment cards
- 100 sleeve and overlay cards (see video)
- 100 card fronts that could be used as Picture My Life (or Project Life) cards

That's 400 total cards PLUS a font! 
Plus it also comes with 3 stamp sets and a package of white cardstock.

Today I am having surgery on my nose to breathe better (no, not a nose job - I'm happy with my big nose thankyouverymuch...LOL!). So, no video was made since I was trying to get ready/trying not to freak out.
