Birthday Card

Another card for a friend of mine - The little flower is from the Close To My Heart Cricut Artiste Exclusive Cartridge Z1790, the bling is CTMH Sparkles Clear Flourishes - Small Z1812, Sparkles Clear Assortment Z1752, Gypsy Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad Z2190, Lagoon Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad Z2195, Perfect Fit Birthday Stamp Set.  You can purchase these products & more from my website.  I used the Rock'n'Roll method to stamp on the frame.  If you want to learn this technique

register for one of my workshops or give me a call.

Birthday Card

I created this birthday card for a friend of mine who turned 60 recently.  I used my Big Shot & a Spellbinders Die I had.   I built it up with 3d foam to make several layers.....the leaves were cut on the Cricut machine using the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Exclusive Cartridge & the flowers were already made, I just sprinkled them with a fine glitter & finished off with a ribbon & pearls.

Artbooking Made Easy: Sweet Smiles

Today’s Artbooking Made Easy features one of the most darling mini albums I’ve seen! Anything that has a baby theme is cute enough to begin with, but this one is just plain adorable, and it features the cutouts from pages 50–51 of the Artbooking booklet. So let’s take a look!

Watch the video to see how using the Cricut® Artbooking shapes, icons, and borders to scrapbook memories of your sweet baby will have you grinning from ear to ear! Contact me.....your Close To My Heart Independent Consultant to learn more.
