Have Your Pie & Eat It Too...

Is this cute or what?? I agree, cute! I made this for my open house using the new Cricut Artiste cartridge.

Did you notice the bow? Yep, it's made with the same cartridge.

Can't you just see a whole "pie" of these for a bridal shower, a birthday party with little gifts inside.

I think the coolest thing about all the 3-D items on the cartridge is that the fold lines are scored and they go together soooo easy!

Enjoy the Day!

Is this stinkin' cute or what?! Yessiree, stickin' cute!
Made by Cindy Herman
Using the AP Cricut cartridge ( are you feeling like you "gotta" have it yet?) and Sonoma paper, this heart box can be made BIG or small, you chose. Here the Heart box is a darling size for a small treat or gift. The flowers are cut on the Cricut as is the tag used. Topped off with a Rhinestone bling (Z1360) and Sweet Moments (C1467) saying.

Little Gift Bag

In playing with my Cricut I'm figuring out sometimes things end up bigger or littler than I was anticipating. The bag is a good example. I set the dial at 3 1/2" and out popped this cute little bag. It is perfect for a Ghiradelli square, a gift card or cash, my son's favorite!!

Paper Rose Wreath

Who doesn't love a rose? How about a whole wreath of roses that will last forever? Me too!
I am so inspired by all the wonderful paper projects I saw at Convention. A wreath of all roses was made by Lisa Stenz & I loved it!! Now her's was bigger and in shades of purple but otherwise mine is the same.
I used the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge by Close To My Heart, Hollyhock/Blush/Daisy White cardstock, and straight pins. I think I made like about 75 roses and I didn't cover the back!! It actually went really fast and it was fun seeing all those roses come to life.

Open House Gift

I love to share little gifts at my Open House with the people who come. This little box holds a small incentive stamps that I was gifting to anyone who booked a workshop. Then once they held their workshop I also will gave them a FREE A/B/C size stamp set of their choice. The little box is just a tangible gift of thanks for continued support of my business.
Cut at 4 1/2" with the second button on the top row of the Cricut images using Crystal Blue cardstock and Moonstruck for the snowflake which is the same button but pushing the layer>shift buttons.
Finish with Glitz Glitter and some ribbon.
Enjoy the day!

Cricut Daisy Bouquet

My friend, Christine Adams, made a daisy bouquet at Convention that I needed to make too! I cut the daisy on the Cricut at 2", 2 1/4", 2 1/2" in Daisy White paper. I then cut in Olive the center flower and layered a Honey circle on top. I layered the petals together with mounting tape and glued on the center.
I then sponged the edges with Honey ink to give it alittle life.
The leaves are cut from Olive paper and crumbled & sponges with Olive Ink.
I glued them all together onto lollipop sticks I inked in Olive with a round sponge.
Poked it all into a black container filled with foam. Tied a ribbon and done!
Enjoy the day!

One Button, So Many Images

I was so impressed at Convention with a board that showed one button and all the images you can get by pushing the different function buttons.
This cupcake image is so stinkin' cute...and look at all the other images that you get when you push the function buttons.
I can't wait to show you the stamps that come in the Art Philosophy bundle and how they fit perfectly onto the images cut by the Cricut.
I've learned so much by playing with my Cricut. One biggie is that the images in the book, that come with the cartridge, shown in gray are achieved by pushing the "shift" key then the image! Whoohoo! The book is starting to make sense to my little brain.
Want to play? Come to my Open House on August 13th from 12-4pm. I will have a make-n-take station set up. You will be making a cute little box that will hold a Ghiradelli square candy.
Enjoy the day!

Cricut Art Philosophy Collection

Here a picture of what you will get with the new Cricut Bundle from CTMH. This bundle includes the exclusive cartridge, 3 stamp sets, 3- 9"x12" Dimensional Elements (3 sheets of different shapes).

Did you know that if you used all 700 images with the feature buttons you could have 32,000 images? Does that blow you away like it does me?
