Thank You Cards Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi to all my fellow crafters and welcome to my blog.  I hope you will take time to read and enjoy the ideas;  plus check out the many videos on my video page.  I try to add them as I find them to give you a variety of videos and tutorials to help in your crafting.  I love watching videos; and always get at least one idea when viewing them.  Try it.  You might actually enjoy them too.  I always take notes; so I can refer back to them if needed.  I also tag my video tutorials for future reference.  I have created several videos you can find on my YouTube Channel as well.

I hope you enjoy my Thank you cards that I created.  I am always trying to come up with new ideas to help you with your creations.  I think any card with a butterfly is a fabulous card.  LOL!

Swing Cards Using Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy plus August Winner of FREE $25 of CTMH Products

Hi Fellow Crafters!  I was on vacation and have been having a challenge trying to get caught up.  I just finished unpacking last night.  LOL.  I suffer from jet lag and migraines from traveling with all the smells; so I haven't felt up to normal yet.  It usually takes me a few weeks to get back to normal.
 

I have a drawing each month for $25 FREE in CTMH products for everyone who orders $50 or more.  Congratulation to Mercedes H.  - the winner for my August drawing.  I don't always remember to post them here.  I have been notifying the winner.  I love giving free products to my loyal customers.   I am also having several drawings for my followers on my blog.  I am trying to reach 500 followers; so I have several free prizes to give away coming soon.  Please take time to link to the linky if you have a blog.  If you don't have a blog; just leave me a comment on the followers post by clicking here.  If you are already a follower; I appreciate you following my blog.  If not; I would love to have you as a follower.  Please leave me your link for your post as well; so I can follow you too.  I would love more "likes" on my Facebook page as well.

I created these cards before going on vacation and created a video on YouTube; so I wanted to share them here as well.  These cards are using the new "You Are My Happy" September National Stamping month trio stamps that you can pay only $10 for with any $50 purchase.  What a deal.  Retail value is $47.90.  See pictures below of all three stamps.  This special ends Sept. 30th; so don't wait; place your order today.  All the images and sentiments are from this set of trio stamps; except the outside sentiment for the first card and it is cut with Cricut Artbooking Cartridge, pg. 47.
 

These are both Swing cards; which you can create easily with the Cricut Artiste; page 52.  I love these cards and they work great with the double sided CTMH paper packets.  This first one is "For Always" paper pack; which I am so in love with this one.  I have bought several packs and use it for everything.

Thank You Cards Using CTMH Chantilly and Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Hi to all you wonderful crafters in blog land.  I hope everyone is doing well.  The weather has been hot and humid here. I always wonder what the weather is like in other countries.  I know there are winters when we are warm and summers when we are cold; but I would love to hear from some of you living anywhere - US or overseas.  I am interested in the kind of weather you are having and what season you prefer.

 

I created these Thank You cards several months ago; but hadn't had time to post them.  I used my favorite CTMH paper for these.  There are so many colors in the Chantilly paper pack that I am amazed at what you can create with it.  Here are the last 3 cards I created with the Chantilly paper packet.  The other 2 that I created were on February 28th.  These five cards demonstrate several of the papers in the Chantilly packet; but not all of the pages have been used.

Birthday Card Using CTMH Chantilly Paper With Cricut Art Philosophy and Cricut Artiste Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #70 - Animals

Hello to all my fellow crafters, friends, family and followers.  I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July.  We went to the movies and out to eat.  It was a relaxing day.  The weather has been super hot and very humid here in Southern CA; so I don't do much outside.  I like the cooler weather. 

 

It is that time again for Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #70 - Animals.  This one should be easy for all of you.  Create anything you want with any kind of animal on it.  Our sponsor this week is Just Some Lines.  Check out their website for some adorable Digi stamps.  Our GDT this week is Bunny Hoyle.  Check out her blog for more of her fabulous creations and leave her some loving comments.

 

I decided to use Just Some Lines Emo Amber and Pup on my card this week.  I made my favorite Side Step Card.  You can find the tutorial here.  I cut mine a little different again.  I used 1  1/2 inches on the left and 4 1/2 inches on the right.  I like to use variations of this.  One I haven't tried is Splitcoasters side step tutorial; which is another variation of this card.
