Mojo Monday with Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi all you wonderful bloggers and readers!  It is another beautiful day in Southern CA.  I created a card for Mojo Monday Sketch 246; using CTMH Sonoma paper packet.  I love these colors in this packet. I have been wanting to use this for a while; but it was hard for me to cut them as they are so beautiful!!  Ha!! 

I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the circles and the layers to create the flowers.  I love this cartridge.  There are 700 images which includes 100 card bases and it is so versatile.  It was a great investment and I am so happy each time I use it. 

Check out my card club - where I will be featuring at least one new card base each month using this cartridge.  You can see my first month cards under the Card Club tab at the top of the page.  Email me to join at purpleglocreations@socal.rr.com.  I look forward to sharing my creations each month with you.  I would appreciate it if you would tell your friends and co-workers about my card club so they can join in all the fun and learn to create cards of their own or add to their collections.

Virtual Card Club - 2nd Card - A Tree using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi everyone!! Here is the 2nd card using CTMH A tree stamp set for my July card club.  I love the CTMH Lucy paper packet; so I decided to use it again.  I cut all the shapes using my Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.  I love this cartridge and use it for most of the cards that I create.  It is so versatile.

Check out my new Virtual Card Club.  Each month you will receive all the pieces including die cuts and embellishments to create your own greeting cards using a specific CTMH stamp set.  You  may choose a different stamp set of equal value or choose a higher price stamp set and pay the difference.  All you have to do is follow the simple directions without having to create the design.  I will create one card each month using the card feature of over 100 cards on the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.

Supplies I used for this card:

Card - 6 1/2 x 5

Shapes - Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Card stock - CTMH Daisy White for the sentiment and the tree stamp

Paper - CTMH Lucy Paper Packet

Strip at bottom - CTMH Lucy Paper Packet

Stamp set - CTMH A Tree

Tree Ink - CTMH Chocolate ink for tree trunk and Topiary ink for tree leaves 

Sentiment and Butterfly ink -  CTMH Cotton Candy

Glitter - for the butterflies

Adhesive - Tombow Mono Adhesive

Foam - CTMH 3-D Foam tape

I apologize in advance if I didn't follow the number of challenge limitations on the blogs I have entered.  I find it difficult to find the rules at times and it is very time consuming trying to read the rules for all the challenges before you enter them.  This is supposed to be fun for all of us and it doesn't make sense to have limitations on how many challenges you can enter in order to post your project to that challenge.  It is free publicity for the blogs!! How can that be a bad thing?  I appreciate all of the challenges and am grateful for all of them.

Mojo Monday Hello Card with Lucy paper and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello to all my fellow bloggers, readers and creators.  I just got home from vacation and was so ready to create something for all of you.  I created a card for Mojo Monday 244;  Try Stampin On Tuesday; Feeling Sketchy  and Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I love these sketches and they are so easy to follow.  I love taking the elements of a sketch and mixing them up.   

I am starting a card club in July; and this is my first card for the card club.  Check out my card club and email me to join as soon as possible.  I need a head count so I can start cutting all the pieces for your cards.  It should be so much fun!!  You will enjoy a new stamp set each month as well as 4 new cards to create and send to friends and family.  See Card Club tab for more information.  If you own that months stamp set I am using; you may choose another stamp set of equal value or choose a higher priced one and pay the difference.  CTMH consultants are also welcome to join my card club.  Email me at purpleglocreations@socal.rr.com for details.

I chose Lucy Paper Packet for this card using CTMH A Tree stamp set.  I love CTMH stamps sets.  They are so reasonably priced and stamp clear and precise.  I still make mistakes sometimes but that is my fault, not the stamps fault.  This is a close up view of the tree stamp with the butterfly and the sentiment.  These are all part of this stamp set.
