Make a Coffee Break Card!

Make a fun, quick coffee themed card using the Artbooking Cricut cartridge and the Love you A Latte Cricut cartridge!

I made this on the Cricut Explore machine because a) it's awesome and b) that "cafe" was never going to cut out ok on the regular machines. See how small it is in the video below...

The Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge bundle includes all shown above (3 large sized matching stamp sets, cartridge and handbook) PLUS a pack of cardstock.

Artbooking Cricut Noel Cards - You pick which you like!

Today's Christmas cards use the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge for the background overlays pieces, as well as the font. 

I started off planning to just make the teal and pink card but quickly decided it would be fun to do both kinds (traditional and modern/funky) and see what you guys thought!

Using the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge, I cut the images above.  The font was used in the red/green card.  What's nice about this size of card (4" x 8") is that they fit into a business sized envelope.

For the teal/pink card, I used the font from the Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge (click HERE to buy).  I liked its blocky, modern feel (sizing above).  You probably don't need to use real dial size with the Artiste cartridge but for consistency, I did.  No harm, no foul.

Using the geometic rings Cuttlebug folder, I embossed the background circles on the red/green card.

I have a glittering technique shown in the video below so be sure to check it out!

Close to My Heart Artbooking Seaside Beach Layout

In keeping with the beach theme this week, I made a quick layout using the Close to My Heart Seaside Workshop on the Go kit and the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.

The title is stamped from the stamp set in the Close to My Heart Seaside Workshop on the Go kit. I also stamped the little cameras so you would know that's where your photos go. The metal shell and starfish accents are also in this kit.

The paper is also in this kit.

The journaling box is stamped from the Hello Summer Stamp Set.

Here is the cut I made from the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge:

Artbooking Cricut Cartridge Love You Valentine

I love you guys so this seemed like the perfect card to make!

I am very, very fond of the scalloped circle frame from the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge.  It makes a great focal point to the card.

Also, I love to show that the Artbooking cartridge isn't just for scrapbook layouts - you can use it for cards also.

Here are the cuts for this 5" x 5" card:

And I used the Holiday Tags stamp set for the inside sentiment:
