4th card for Virtual Card Club - Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello everyone!! I have been very busy this week creating cards and getting things ready for my card club.  This card base was created using the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.  I love this card base from the AP cart!!  It is so cute!  I liked creating the inside of the card from the outside.  I matched the border on the front with the shape on the inside and then framed it with another great Pemberley paper to match the butterflies.

I used the paper from Workshops On The Go - Pemberley to create this card. All the shapes including the card base were created with the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge. The stamp set is from CTMH "A Tree" as were all the others in this months Virtual Card Club. 

A Closer View of the Inside

All four of my cards for the first month of my Virtual Card Club are completed now.  I am pleased with the way they turned out.  Two were created using the Lucy Paper Packet and two were created using the Pemberley paper from Workshops On The Go - Pemberley.  This kit contains a great stamp set; which is one of my favorites.  July is the last month this Workshop On The Go will be available; so buy it while you can.  We were told the Pemberley Paper Packet will still be available in August; but not the Workshops On The Go - Pemberley.

Card #3 for Virtual Card Club

Hello readers, bloggers and creators!!! I hope you are having a wonderful day!!  I am excited because I finished my last two cards for my card club.  I can't wait to share them with you.  I have been watching DVDs for techniques and for different types of cards; so I decided to make a tri-fold card.  I got the idea for the layers of this tri-fold from another consultant friend of mine, Dawn Montagano.  She used a butterfly on the front of her card; so I decided it should work for a male card using the tree.  I love this tree and the butterflies. 

I used the beautiful Pemberley Paper from the "Workshops On The Go - Pemberley"; which features one of my favorite stamp sets.  (I used the stamp set on my Mother's Day card - check older posts.) This paper can be used for both male and female.  There is also a floral paper in this packet.  I found out it is harder to create cards for males than for females. I only used one butterfly so this could be used as a card for a male.  The inside could be stamped with butterflies, parts of the tree, hearts, or anything else with a message. I left it empty so it could be used for male or female.  This is double-sided paper and is heavy like card stock.  Cuts very nicely with my Cricut.  I used my Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the different shapes used on this card.

The 4th card will be coming soon and then I will provide a picture for all 4 cards together; so you can get a better idea of what is included with the Virtual Card Club for the first month.  The 4th card is one of the cards from the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge; which has 100 cards featured on it.  I will be using at least one a month in the Virtual Card Club.

Don't forget June is buy 2 get 1 free stamp sets.  Take advantage of this sale!! It only happens once in a while.  I was told it was 2 years ago since the last one.  CTMH stamp sets are high quality stamps and stamp very clear and easy to read.  I love them; which is one of the reasons I joined this wonderful company.  I purchased the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and fell in love with it, the stamp sets and the company.
