Cartridge Showcase: Damask Decor

Hello, and welcome to this week's cartridge showcase, Damask Decor. And what a great cartridge it is.  Along with the regular cuts, there are two different layer cuts,  silhouette cuts, tag cuts and a card and envelope cut.  

Charlotte's Blog

This card was such a simple one to make.  I used the card cut for the base of the card and then the card overlay cut.  I then added a strip of  brown to the card and topped it with a pink ribbon.  And then to complete the card I added a bow and gems.  How easy wss that!!  

I had this wonderful trim that I had been eager to use and when I saw these papers of the same colors I knew I had a project ready to be made.  I began with a white card base topped with a turquoise damask printed mat.  I then added the green and purple matstopped with the tri-colored trim.  The pretty damask design was added and adorned with some little gems.  The little bird was cut from the Give A Hoot cartridge.  And the sentiment is from a K Andrew stampset.  And then I finished the card with a pretty crinckle ribbon bow.   This card has always been one of my favorites because it is so unusual.   

This little damask shaped card was cut made by welding two shapes together with my Gypsy.  The little heart is a favorite shape of mine and one I have used often.  This card was embellished with an eposy sticker that says Live, Laugh, Love, some little pink gems and three tiny pink roses.

This little teapot card was so easy to make using the card cuts on the cartridge.  A small blue bow was added.  I just love this teapot cut.  

I have also used Damask Decor to make a couple of banners.  

This first banner is has a shabby chic look to it with the pretty pale colors.  It says "Bliss" and hangs from an antique French armoie in a guest bedroom.  It is embellished with pretty roses, silk ribbons and sweet gems.  

I made this Christmas banner to use on a bulletin board in my classroom.  The banner base shapes began with the Damask Decor cartridge.  I really like these shapes to create a banner.  The ginerbread and candy shapes were cut from various Christmas cartridges.  The banner hangs from a sheer red ribbon.

This shaped card was made with the pumpkin from Damask Decor.  I added several eposy fall leaves, a tri-colored crinkle ribbon bow and a sentiment stamp.  

Here is another card made with the pumpkin cut.  It is a shaker card.  And oh what a fun card it is.

I hope to see you visiting again here and by blog, A Little Bit Of Detail.

Here are my Damask Decor Projects.

I made this card for the Craft With Cutters Challenge this past Wednesday.
There is still time to join us HERE. 

Last March my youngest brother got married. We made these center pieces very economically by decorating some plain white boxes with some cuts from the Damask Decor cartridge. I used some Bazzill Bling for the Teal color paper so there was a very soft shimmer to them (not captured in photo).

Here is another shot of the center pieces featuring the Damask Decor Cuts. The wine bottles were bottles that my sister in law picked up from a local bar. They were kind enough to save her the empties. We just scraped the label off them and created our own. Each table had a different looking bottle (color-style) and that added some charm. The idea was that it was supposed to represent a "message in a bottle" theme. You can't see the top of the bottle but we rolled a "thank you note" and stuffed it into the bottle top. Sorry I don't have anymore pictures, but I was the pseudo wedding coordinator and was running like a chicken with her head cut off and these were the only pics I could secure for today.

And Last, but not least....

what would playing with my cartridges be if I didn't at least try to create a cute animal paper piecing out of it? So here is what I came up with. This super adorable bunny is made with all cuts from this great cartridge. So who says that Damask Decor can't be both elegant and CUTE?!!!  LOL.

I haven't finished the layout this little Critter will be on, but when I do, I will definitely share :-)

Thank you so much for stopping by. Be sure to visit Charlotte and leave her some love for all the delightful Damask Decor projects and inspiration she has shared and don't forget to come back tomorrow and check out what our lovely SVG gals have been up to!!!!
Have a wonderfully crafty day!

Watch Me Grow Layout details

Hello crafty friends,

Here is the details post for the Watch Me Grow Layout I created for this week’s Cartridge Showcase: HERE

Watch Me Grow Layout

Here is a view of the entire layout.  The Grow letters were stamps but the square scalloped cuts were from the cartridge. The Watch Me… is from a Close To My Heart Stamp set too.

Close up of the right page border. All of the cuts were from the Sugar and Spice cartridge. The flowers were decorated with Close To My Heart Stamps. I did change the eyes for some of the animals as I am not a fan of the “cricut” eyes. ALTHOUGH all the “CUTS” for the eyes are on this cartridge. I just substituted some and made some bigger than the size prescribed.

The centers of the flowers were actually cut out of the Nana’s Kids paper that I used. The stars already have glitter on them so I thought….waste not want not. The flowers all started out as plain white die cuts. I stamped them with my Close To My Heart Stamps.

Products Used:

Close To My Heart Products

Crème Brulee Ink Pad

Sweet Leaf Ink Pad

Pear Ink Pad

White Cardstock

Urban Alphabet Stamp Set (Grow letters)

In The Background Stamp Set (Flowers)

Lucy Workshop On The Go Stamp Set ((Retired) Watch Me in Title))

Brown Bag Ink Pad (Discontinued Color)

Other Products

Cricut Sugar & Spice Cartridge

Recollections Patterned Paper

Nana’s Kids (Multi-Colored Glittered Paper)

Martha Stewart Border Punch

Black Fine Tip Pen'

White Gel Pen

Dry Decorator Chalks (Pebbles Inc.)

I think this layout turned out really cute. The pictures just don't do it justice. I am once again entering this layout into the Heart 2 Heart March madness Spring and Go Green Challenges. Spring as the flowers and a new baby theme represent spring to me. The Go green is for "re-using" my retired stamps and discontinued ink pad as well as "upcycling" the stars from the paper. Thank you once again for sharing your crafty time with me :-)

Love Layout Details Post

Hello crafty friends,

Here is the details post for the Love layout I created on Monday’s Cartridge Showcase: HERE

LOVE LAYOUT

This is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a close up of the cute cluster of flowers and butterflies. All of the flowers and butterflies were created with the Sugar & Spice Cartridge.  The Scalloped circle frame as well as the love and square scallop were also created with cuts from this cartridge.

This shot shows the stamp I used to stamp the flowers. All the flowers started out as plain white. Even though the flower isn’t the same style as the die cut, just trying to center it and stamping it came out really nice. I was able to create the flowers in the different colors by simply using the different inks. I love how they are all coordinating colors so “matching” is a cinch!

This shot show the stamp I used for the butterfly wings. I then covered them with the Stardust Glitter gel. As you can see they are not perfectly mirrored wings but I think they still look great. I used the Sweet Leaf to stamp the wings as well as to sponge some on the center of the bodies. The butterflies started out as plain white die cuts as well

Here is a list of the products I used to create this project:

 Close To My Heart Products

Honey Ink Pad

Blush Ink Pad

Sky Ink Pad

Sweet Leaf Ink Pad

White Cardstock

Stardust Glitter Gel

Pemberly Workshop On The Go Stamp Set (Retired)

Other Products Used

Sugar & Spice Cricut Cartridge 

Saguaro Bazzill Cardstock (Olive-Green Cardstock)

DCWV Fresh Floral Stack for all the Patterned Paper

EK Success Border Punch

I think this layout is so springy and such a wonderfully cheerful page. I am entering this into the Heart 2 Heart March Madness Challenge as it fits in with their Spring and Go Green challenges. The Go green is for using my retired stamps and the Spring is for well… the entire layout sings spring. Be sure to check out the other projects I made for the cartridge showcase HERE.

Thank you once again for sharing your crafty time with me!
