This card could be used for a holiday greeting or a winter birthday card.

The mittens and snowflakes were cut using the CTMH Artiste cartidge.

Today I am posting the Holiday Gift Card Holder I created using CTMH Pear and Partidge papers and the Artiste Cricut cartidge. I also taught this same project to fellow consultant friends at our annual Stamp Camp a couple of weeks ago!

It's a little hard to tell in the second photo, but there is a slot where you can slide in a gift card.

World Card-Making Day event

4:49 PM

Last Saturday, Oct. 6th, was World Card-Making Day and I had a successful event at my home.

Registered guests made 6 different cards:

2 holiday designs

1 masculine birthday card

1 feminine birthday card

1 thank you card

1 sympathy card

They used a variety of techniques and a few of the designs featured the newest

CTMH Cricut cartridge - Artiste!

I will be posting the different cards this week!

First is the masculine card:

It features the CTMH stamp set - Perfect Day.

This is the inside of the card. The lighthouse and boat images were stamped in black and then colored in using various inks with the Waterbrush. Some of the gals had forgotten all about using the Waterbrush! It makes everyone an artist:)

Cruisin' Thanks!

7:36 PM

We just got back from KOOL Deadwood Nights. It's a full weekend of classic car events and concerts. We stayed with my sister-in-law's family and had a great time! I was working on a gift card holder today to send them and thought the Cruisin' papers were perfect!

Now I just have to choose which one to send them!

Dakota Cards

3:33 PM

Here are 2 cards using CTMH Dakota papers I created for a unit swap:

The card on the left features the Artiste Cricut cartridge. I used it to cut the Barn Red scalloped edge and the banner for Oh Happy Day. The card on the right features the new burlap...very fun accent! I also curved the sentiment stamp to fit the circle.

August Open House

6:47 AM

This last week I had an Open House to introduce the new Close To My Heart Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book. I had a nice turn-out and it was great to visit with old friends and meet new gals interested in papercrafting!

This was my Cricut station! I had some fun samples made with both Art Philosophy and Artiste, including the favor box, which I had made 200 of for our daughter's wedding in June!
