Hello. It has finally cooled off in Southern California. I hope everyone reading this post is having a fantastic day!! It was 101 on Wednesday and now it is in the 60's. I am so excited to have cooler weather.
I created a couple Thank You cards I wanted to share with you. I decided to get my Cuttlebug out of the closet and do some embossing. I bought a few new 5 x 7 embossing folders and was excited to try them out. It had been a while since I had used my Cuttlebug when I started these two cards. Before I was finished making these two; I used it on several other cards I was working on. I forgot how pretty the cards look when using the embossing folders. I used CTMH Florentine Paper Packet for both cards. This is one of my favorite paper packets. I love how you can use the same paper packets and create very different cards.

Click on the tabs at the top of the page to see the specials, the clubs and the two fabulous Cricut Cartridges. I am giving you $20 off of the Cricut Cartridge collections for the month of Oct. My goal is to help everyone to be able to purchase these two awesome cartridges. They are like no other on the market. They are my favorites and the ones I use the most.
My cards are better now that I have the Cricut Art Philosophy and the Cricut Artiste cartridges to use for the layering. Card making is so much more fun using these two cartridges. I love the 100 cards you can create using the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and there are 50 cards on the Cricut Artiste Cartridge. They work so well for scrapbooking backgrounds too. I especially like the many doilies found on both cartridges.
