Silver and Gold


Was inspired by the Silver and Gold Heart 2 Heart Challenge this week.  Used the Dreamin' Big-Cardmaking Thin Cuts bundle to create the butterflies and dragonfly which are embossed with gold and silver embossing powder.  The background of the card is a piece of gold stripe from the All About the Gold Fundamentals packet.  There is a bit of a glare on it because it is actually a clear vinyl with the stripes, it adds such a nice texture and dimension.  The design of the card is based off Pattern #20 in Make It From Your Heart, Volume 1.  And the shaped label for the sentiment was cut using the Artistry Cricut cartridge.  To add even more sparkle and shine, some Metallic Foil tape was used and also some Glitter Paper.  



All papers and stamps are from Close To My Heart (CTMH).

Georgie ~ Stampers With An Attitude (Blog Hop)

This month, our Stampers With An Attitude team is sharing Father's Day projects or a project created using the Georgie paper kit.     

If you have come here from Roxybonds, you are on the right path!  Blog Hopping is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one, or visit each blog from the list at the end of this post.    


Even though one of the papers in the Georgie kit is themed for babies, the other papers are great for any other use.  For this "quick to create" card, two of the Georgie papers are used along with a birthday image from the Stamps of Approval set.  Using the Artistry Cricut cartridge, it is easy to get the perfect shape for the sentiment.  Only other items needed are Slate cardstock, some Aqua Shimmer Trim and some white Enamel Gems to create this Winning Combination design from the Originals Card Confidence Program.       


Now "Hop" on over to Scrap Stamp Share for more artwork using Georgie papers, or Father's Day projects.

Artistry ~ NEW Cricut Cartridge!

Artistry is the name of the newest exclusive Cricut cartridge released by Close To My Heart.  This cartridge has 700 fabulous images, including a font, multiple icons, basic shapes, layers, banners, and backgrounds.  You can see all of the images at the bottom of this post.     

If you arrived here from Jeanie's Clearly Cards blog, you are hopping through our circle of Close To My Heart consultants sharing their projects using the new Artistry cartridge.  

There are several cute animals included with the Icons on the Artistry cartridge.  For this card, the ladybug was cut in two different sizes in Black and Poppy cardstock.  For this "clean & simple" card, a strip of Black Shimmer Trim was placed for their ground, and then the two ladybugs are simply walking along.  Poppy is one of the brand-new colors being introduced by CTMH.  Beginning in September, you will be able to purchase both cardstock and an ink pad in Poppy. However, when you purchase the Artistry cartridge, it includes a package of Enchantment cardstock which contains all seven new colors being introduced for Fall.   Three stamp sets are also included with the Artistry Collection, and the 'smile' is from the Picture Perfect set.
