"Whooo Loves You" Halloween Party Invitation Card

This stamp set is Adorable!!! From the owl to the mushrooms, it has to be one of my favorite sets! Here is a little card I made using the larger owl and the tree branch. I also used the stamp set "Happy Haunting" for the  words and web/spider inside the card. This would made a great invitation to a Halloween Party!

"Blue Ribbon" BBQ invitation Card

Isn't this the cutest summertime paper! Its called Blue Ribbon! And so perfect for the Classic American BBQ! Stamp set used: Grill It Up 

Here I made an invitation. I used one of the Stickease from the collection, Waxy Flax in Cranberry,  brad in Cranberry and inked the edges also in Cranberry.

"Fairy Tale" Thinking of You Card

The paper & Stickease I used for this card is from the "Fairy Tale" Collection. Retired from 2004-2005 Idea Book. I LOVED this Collection! The fairies and mushrooms, butterflies, and the colors are gorgeous! I also used a Taffy brad from my old stash. Such a whimsical card!

"Lucky" Scrapbook Layout

After having so much fun completing the Lucky Workshop I came up with these two layouts using the rest of my supplies, actually I still ended up with a whole lot more left! Don't you just love how much CTMH gives you in each packet!!! So here are my pages. Along with Lucky Paper, Lucky My Stickease, Lucky Level 2 Assortments, Mini-Medley Accents Sunset Collection (that's the Sunset Brads), I also got Canvas Badge Buttons. I LOVE these buttons! You can use your stamps & ink right on them!!! On one of mine I stamped a bike wheel. Very cool! Enjoy and I hope this inspires you!

"Life Is Tweet" Anniversary Card

Here's a Happy Anniversary card I made using the June Stamp of the Month set "Life Is Tweet".

The card is cut from the Cricut Machine using CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. 

Colors are in: Grey Wool, Grey Flannel, Wild Flower, PepperWood. (All retired colors-but still loved!) And White Daisy. I distressed the edges using my scissors, you can also use the Edge Distresser tool. I used organdy ribbon in Vineyard Berry (close to Wild Flower) for the little bow tie. 

The card turned out simply adorable!

"Find Your Style" Girly Card

I would like to show you a card I made using the "Find Your Style" Stamp set from Close to my Heart. I LOVE this stamp set! All the images have the word-print pattern, giving your stamped image a very unique look! Here I used the dress-form stamp, added some ribbon for a tutu & sparkles around the neck to give it just the right amount of bling! Add a drop or two, along with some water to one of CTMH's Spray pens, and spritz a piece of White Daisy cardstock and that's how I got my background for this card! I love how it turned out! The word "Beautiful" is also apart of this stamp set.

Just for you Gift Box -Pillow Box

Had to whip up one more project before heading off the bed... I'm just so super excited about my new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge from CTMH.

I had to try out the pillow box. I put it at 4" so its a tiny box, perfect for a few pieces of candy, or a small trinket such as Jewelry. Again this project was super easy to create... and quite fun!

Items used:

(all products are CTMH)

Cricut cartridge- Art Philosophy

Felicity paper

Brown Bag & Bamboo Cardstock

mini paper flowers (in Chocolate)

Brads (in Bronze)

Stamped image using "Crafted with Love" stamp set

Inked with Brown Bag & Cocoa

Delight in everything Card

I'm so excited about my new Cricut Cartridge! It's from Close to my Heart called Art Philosophy.

I tried out the Project they have listed inside the book. (Rosette Birthday Card). 
Instead of a Birthday Card I changed it up a bit... I also used Vineyard Berry instead of Hollyhock for the rosettes. I can't wait to see what more I can make using the cartridge!

I thought the Rosettes looked real hard to create... 

but they're not, they are actually quite simple!

I had so much fun creating this little card... hope these pics inspire you to bring out your Cricut machine and get started on a project of your own! And if you'd like to show us what you make, just leave a comment below. 

Hope everyone has a Wonderful Thanksgiving!

:)
