[Video]I Donut What I'd do Without You Card

I love this donut and coffee stamp set from Close to My Heart and decided to use it with the donut on the Artistry Cricut cartridge.

Check out how cute this Treats of Friendship stamp set is:

The donut from the Artistry Cricut Cartridge was cut at 2-3/4" with some layers hidden (below is the Cricut Design Space file for this card).

[Video]Quick Elegant Sympathy Card

Today's card is a quick, yet elegant sympathy card. Sadly, I find myself in need of these for some very special people who have recently lost some loved ones.

I wanted to make a card design that I could replicate somewhat easily but that still looked like a thoughtful card - know what I mean?

So, I grabbed the Phrases and Artfully Sent Cricut cartridges and went to work.

 

What I loved about the butterfly card design on the Close to My Heart Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge was that you could use the butterflies that you cut out again on the inside of the card (see above).

And the Phrases Cricut cartridge has some beautiful designs that make a statement all on their own.

These are the cuts I used:

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:

Cricut Christmas Stocking Winter Frolics QUICK Card

It's Throwback Thursday!

I cut this super cute stocking at 5" from the Cricut Winter Frolics Cartridge.  My card was sized at 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and opens at the bottom, although you could have it open to the side.

I used various glittery papers from Reminisce and DCWV.  My background was run through the Cuttlebug with the Sparkle embossing folder.

I used the Close to My Heart December 25th Stamp Set (coordinates with the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge):

Card Recipe:
1) Fold red cardstock 4-1/4" x 11" paper in half to form 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card.
2) Adhere piece of 4" x 5-1/4" white cardstock to inside.
3) Run piece of 4" x 5-1/4" white cardstock through Cuttlebug with embossing folder.  Adhere to front of card.
4) Cut stocking from Cricut Winter Frolics Cartridge at 5", all layers using glittery papers and adhere to front of card.
5) Stamp "Do Not Open" onto white cardstock.  Trim and mount onto green paper.  Adhere to front.
6) Attach red bow to stocking.

In December, when you spend $50+, you can pick up any sized "C" or "D" sized stamp set from the Annual Inspirations large catalog for just $10. 

SHOP Close to My Heart!

I've had a lot of questions about how exactly to get the $10 stamp sets so I made a quick video for you to watch (click HERE if you can't see the video):
