Hi everyone in blogland! I hope this post finds all of you well and having a great life. I am here today to bring you another fabulous challenge with DS4J. It is the midway point for the current challenge - Digi Stamps 4 Joy - Challenge 91 - Water Everywhere. This should be a fun challenge for all of you.
Don't forget to check out all the fabulous creations by the DS4J Design team. You will find the midway creations at Mid-Challenge - DS4J Challenge 91 - Water Everywhere. Click the link at the top of the DS4J page where it says current challenge here to link your challenges and to see the other half of the team's creations. Have fun. Remember - if you use a DS4J stamp; you have a chance to win $10 gift certificate with DS4J. If you don't want to color or don't have time; be sure to check out the colored versions of their stamps. I love them!
I used DS4J Digi Meirenyu Colored version for this card. I used the Cricut Art Philosophy to create the sentiment dies. I created this card using several different Cricut cartridges. The three CTMH cartridges have most of the things I need; but I didn't find any seashells. I think our Cricut Cartridges are the best on the market with 700 images on each cartridge; plus they come with 3 sheets of stamps and 3 pages of dimensional's. My favorite Cricut Cartridge is still Cricut Art Philosophy; since it has 100 card bases on it and most of the labels you need for sentiments. Watch my Cricut Art Philosophy You Tube Video and my other videos on my You Tube.
This is the first time I have used the cartridges that were part of the Cricut Design Space monthly plan. It was nice to have that option. Of course; the CTMH Cricut Cartridges are not part of the monthly Cricut Design Space. I love my new Cricut Explore. It cuts your sizes with smaller increments than the Cricut Expression or Cricut Expression 2.
