December Projects Artfully Sent Sale and Freebie Link

Hello crafty friends,
Can you believe it is already December 1st?  I still can’t believe how FAST this year went. Just about everyone I talk to feels the same way. Time is just speeding by!
I have had SO MANY changes this year and my crafting has had to take a back seat, but as I look to 2016, I hope that I will be able to get back to some crafting and doing and sharing more.
Every year for the last four years, I have had a “form” of a 25 days of Christmas event. Some years were much bigger than others. While I wasn’t able to plan anything for this year, I still wanted to share some of the season with everyone. So I will be sharing projects that show case the holidays. I will also be sharing what the PCW designers share too. So be sure to sign up for my newsletter as well as head over to the PCW blog and follow there too! 

Close To My Heart is having a wonderful Cyber Week Sale! For the next few days, get 25% off select items…including the Cricut Artfully Sent Cartridge bundle!!!!  To kick off things, I wanted to start by sharing a card I created last year using this wonderful cartridge.

Last year I created this pretty card using the Artfully Sent cartridge for my card base. I also shared a how-to video for coloring with some of the wonderful Shin Han markers sold by CTMH too.

Christmas Hop with Artfully Sent Card and Free File Link

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a project I created for the 12 Days of Christmas Hop.  Today is day 7 and I am a guest designer today. If you want to take a look at all of the amazing projects created each day, just be sure to head over to Lisa’s blog and you will find links to each day. There are some amazing projects and some great prizes to win!!! If you are following along with the hop, then you should have come from Kim of Katydid Cards. So here is what I came up with for my project.

I used my Cricut Explore along with the Artfully Sent Cartridge to create this pretty card.

I started by using the Cricut Explore Design Space program and selected this card. I changed the size to 5.5 x 5.5 finished size. I used some kraft cardstock for the base.

I then used some White Daisy ink and sponged it onto the tree trunks. I then cut a piece of blue cardstock for the background.

I used my Pacifica ink and sponged some ink randomly on the mat.

After that, I turned back to my White Daisy Ink and sponged some ink onto the mat.

Here is what the background looks like after I finished sponging the inks.

I then added some frosted lace stickles to the snow drifts die cut. I also used some foam tape to add some depth to the snow drift and the deer silhouettes.

I then used the coordinating stamp sets that come in the Artfully sent bundle and my slate ink and stamped the outline and the sentiments. I then added the flowers and the leaves on the top of the label. I finished off the flowers by adding pearls to the centers.

Here is a closer, angled view. I used some foam tape again to give the label some lift.

Here is one last look at the final card.  Close To My Heart is having a Cyber Week sale this week and the Artfully Sent cartridge is on sale for 25% off.

Every day this week I will be sharing some fun projects using the Artfully sent cartridge bundle and other great CTMH products, so be sure to come back by each day. I will also be sharing some free files and more!

And now for my blog candy.

I will be giving away a 20 gift download to PaperCraftingWorld.com. To qualify, you must be a follower of my blog (just click the button and add yourself) and then leave a comment on this post. That’s it! The hop runs through the 5th and I will be picking a winner on the 7th.

I am also sharing the Design Space file I created for this card. To use this file and recreate this project, you will need to have the Cricut Explore, using the Design Space software and the Artfully Sent cartridge.

Just click the Add to cart button and you will be able to
download the zip folder with the file link.
