SOTM Birthday Butterfly Card

Happy Monday crafty friends,
I am sharing my latest card with you today. It is another card featuring the Stamp of the Month set from Close To My Heart. Here is what I came up with.

Here’s a look at the completed card. The finished size is 5  x 6.5. I started with a black cardstock base. I then used some white cardstock and some hot pink cardstock for mats. I then used some more black cardstock and white cardstock. For the smaller white cardstock base I sponged some of my Lagoon ink pad, gypsy ink pad and cotton candy ink pad. This gives the soft colored look to the mat.

Here’s a closer look at the pretty butterfly die cuts. I designed them with my Pazzles software and cut them in black cardstock. I used some of the pink glitter gems to accent the middle of each butterfly.

I used my lagoon ink pad  to stamp the outline of the label and my gypsy ink pad to stamp the sentiment. Both are from the August Stamp of the month. I then cut out a black cardstock mat to double mat the sentiment. I used some foam tape to give them it a little lift.

I finished off the look by adding a touch of purple shimmer trim and some teal shimmer trim.


Here is one last look at the finished card.  I will be giving the butterfly SVG file along with some other files away for any sized purchase you make on my Close To My Heart link.


Here is the Cherry Tag SVG card set and the Cricut Artistry Design Space Butterfly Birthday Card. These will be given along with the butterfly file from today.

CTMH Happy Birthday August Stamp of the Month Cricut Design Space Card

Happy Wednesday crafty friends,

Today I am sharing another fun card featuring the August, Stamp of the Month stamp set. Here is what I came up with.

Here is the completed card. I started by creating the card base in the Cricut Design Space software. I used cut files from the new Cricut Artistry cartridge. I created the card base and used a cut from design space to create the overlays.

Here’s a closer look at the pretty flowers and leaves. I used cuts again from the Cricut Artistry and cut the flowers and leaves out of white cardstock.

Once I cut the flowers out, I used my Glacier ink pad and my buttons, bits and bobs stamp set.

I then used my Flaxen ink pad and another stamp from the same button, bits and bobs stamp to stamp onto the leaves.

Lastly, for my inking, I used my whisper ink pad  and sponged the solid butterfly. A soft yet subtle color.

 

I then curled the petals to the flower and grouped them onto the frame I chose. I added some pearls to the centers of the flowers and then curled the butterfly  wings.

Here is what the card looks like slightly opened. I love the soft, pretty colors against the kraft cardstock base.

Here is what the card base looks like. I am giving this away for free to those who make any sized purchase through my CTMH link.

I am also giving away the Cherry Base SVG card. Be sure to head over and do a little shopping. The end of this month brings the end of the catalog and that means many, many fantastic products will be discontinued.

CTMH August Stamp of the Month For You

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing my first of several cards showcasing this month’s Stamp of the Month set.

This set is only $5 with a purchase of $50 or more. Of course to sweeten the pot, I will be sharing several free cutting files with you if you purchase the stamp set through my link.

Here’s a look at the complete project. I started by cutting out the base in some kraft cardstock. I then turned to my hopscotch papers from Close To My Heart. I used some red, white, green and brown cardstock to cut out the other elements.

Here’s a closer look at the cute little cherry die cuts I created.  I cut the top layer in some hopscotch patterned paper and then used some red cardstock for the bottom layers.  For the accents, I used a touch of my green stickles for the leaves and for the cherries I used some pink glitter gems from Close To My Heart. I did add some foam tape underneath the leaves and under the scalloped circle die cut to give them just a bit of lift.

Next I turned to my August Stamp of The Month set and stamped the frame with my Juniper Ink Pad and then followed up by stamping the sentiment with my Cranberry ink pad. For the top of the tag, I added some Pixie thick twine.


Here is one last look at my completed card. Super cute and perfect for the intended recipient.

Here's the Stamp of the Month set. It has a wonderful assortment of sentiments and the three labels have matching cuts with the new Cricut Artistry set.

Here is the cutting file set I used from PaperCraftingWorld.com. You can snag this cutting file set for only .99 this week! And if you spend 5 (actual) bucks you can get 50% off your total purchase. That would make this file set a whopping 50 cents!!!!

Easel Flourished Friend Card

Hello crafty friends,
Hope your day is going well. I wanted to share a card I recently created for the Pazzles Craft Room.

Here’s a look at the finished card. The beautiful intricate overlay cut like butter with my Pazzles. The cuts were so tiny and intricate! The finished size is approximately 5.5 x 5.5. The paper I used is from the

I cut the base from some Craft Smith Blackberry Lemon paper pad. I then used some pink and burgundy cardstock to cut out the twirled flowers and added them to the base and the top of the card. The stamped sentiment is from the Close To My Heart For A Friend Stamp Set. I used my Hollyhock Ink pad for the ink color. Lastly I added a white satin ribbon bow to finish it off. Just enough room left inside to write a small note.

Here’s a side view of the card. I used the dimension of the flowers to keep the easel part up.


And this photo is because I have to brag on my beloved Pazzles….Look at those cuts!!! Yep, tiny, intricate and spot on!

Enjoy Bear with Ice Cream Cricut Artistry Card

Happy Wednesday crafty friends,
Hope your day is going well. Today I am sharing yet another fun project I created with the new Cricut Artistry cartridge bundle and my Design Space software.

Here is a look at my completed card. All of the cuts including the adorable bear are from the Cricut Artistry cartridge. I just used different cuts from the cartridge and created the little bear from them. The base of the cartridge is a 5.5 x 5.5 kraft cardstock base. I then cut a mat from white cardstock and the cute patterned papers are from the brushed paper set. 

Here’s a closer look at the stamped sentiment. It is from one of the three stamp sets you get in the Cricut Artistry Bundle. I used my Gypsy Ink pad to stamp them. I added a little puffy sticker to the top.

Here’s a closer look at the bear paper piecing. I cut him out of kraft cardstock and some cream cardstock. I inked the edges of his pieces with my barn red ink pad  I inked the cream pieces with my crème brulee ink pad

Here’s just a side view to show that I used some foam tape on the little ice cream cones and the bear to give them a little dimension.


Here’s what the Cricut Design Space cutting file looks like. I will be sharing this file with those that purchase the cartridge bundle from me along with several other files! In fact, here is my complete special:
