Pemberley Boxed Cards

This heat has me crafting.  These cards were all made from CTMH paper pack, Pemberley and an assortment of stamps.  Most of the cuts were made using the Art Philosophy Cartridge.  The flowers on the box take less than a minute to make.  I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this about a million times, but I LOVE the Art Philosophy cartridge. The sunflowers and leaves are from May's stamp of the month - Friendship Bouquet.  I didn't think I'd ever use that stamp so I didn't buy it.  My sister did and I've borrowed it from her about a dozen times.

 Love this butterfly!  I cut it using the Art philosophy cartridge.  I also used the cartridge for the circles, scalloped circles and the scallop on the corner.

 The flowers are CTMH - Card Word Puzzle.  Isn't the frame fun?  Another Art Philosophy cut.

The frames, flowers, leaves are all Art Philosophy cuts.

Dreams Paperbag Album

gg

Who can resist the wonderful, crunchy feel of a paper bag album?  For this one I used the black paper bags from Micheal's.   They're a tad sturdier than the usual, making them well worth the price. 

The paper pack and Stickease are CTMH Wings - retired, because I ALWAYS discover a wonderful paper right after it's retired.  I also used the CTMH "Find Your Style" stamp set throughout.  The tags were cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge.

Happy Crafting!

Typeset Mini Album "School Days"

Yet another mini-album inspired the really cool mini albums created by the Fabulously Artsy, Tresa Black.  I've never used all the elements she teachers in her mini-album tutorials.   It takes me forever to finish a project, so I just work at it until it isn't fun anymore and then I quit.

I LOVE this Typeset paper from Close To My Heart.  The "Stickers" that go with the set are canvas - makes the album rich with texture.  I've already made about twenty cards with this paper and I'm still not tired of it.

Baby Mini-Album

Here's my most recent baby girl album.  Pretty similar to the last one I did, which follows Tresa Black's tutorial on Fabulously Artsy.  Another opportunity to use up bits of leftover materials and make a gift for a new parent.

I tried to include tags and pockets for journaling and stuffing little mementos.

 

I used the CTMH My Creations 3-Ring binder album.  It is retired, however, I bought about 20 of them from the CTMH clearance sale.  Twenty.  What was I thinking?

Bliss Wedding Album

 Of course,  once the CTMH 3-ring binder mini-album  retired and the last album sold, my love for it grew into obsession.  Tresa Black is to blame. Had I never seen her tutorials transforming ordinary albums into the EXTRAORDINARY, I wouldn't have rescued mine from the cupboard where they got stashed right after purchase.  Why did I only buy two???

This project was quick - less than 3 hours total time.  Using all of her amazing ideas would have taken longer, but my attention span only stretched to three hours. So I applied a couple of her Fabulously Artsy suggestions, liberally plopped stickers throughout, and sprinkled in lots of love, and best wishes for a long and happy marriage.

I used the new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge,
Bliss Paper pack and Stickease
and lots of ribbon, glitter, glue and stuff.  If you want more details, email me and I'll be specific.

I'm off to beg fellow CTMH consultants to sell me their unused binders.

Here are the 4 pages available to make for the August 26th workshop:

 

There are so many changes in the new Close To My Heart idea book.  First there is the weight of the card stock.  It's heavy - perfect for all the three-projects  on the new CTMH Cricut cartridge.  Second - it's two-sided.  Each side has it's own beautiful and unique design.  And third - it's cheaper - only $9.95 per packet.  The packet sizes are perfect for making some layouts and a few projects without a bunch left over.  I think the new size and price is going to be perfect for most crafters and scrapbookers.


 Here are the optional projects for August's project:

 

Note: optional projects  require additional products.  To make projects identical to the ones above, you can add:

1 – Dark Neutral Cardstock Shade Pack (X5912)

1 – Wooden Designer Buttons (Z1387)

If you're in the Spokane area, send me an email to sign up for the workshop or join a hostess club.  Or go to my website and order your products when they go live on Aug. 1st.
