Dotty For You - Monogram Card

This is a monogram card that I created for my Cricut class last week.  This month, we focused on page 55 of the Cricut AP Cartridge booklet.  That page includes the <rectangle7> and <buttrfly2>.  The "B" is found on the font/shift keys.  I think monogrammed cards are really fun - I had planned to make them for our office staff at school but ran out of time.

I used the  Instant Memories stamp set (flourish).  I cut a

 2 1/2" "B" and tied our new Paradise Baker's Twine on it.  I used Mocha Pearls to create the butterfly's body.

The "Dotty for You" paper packet is only available for 4 more days.  Get yours for $5 with a $35 subtotal purchase.

You're Invited Card

Here is another card that I created for the Cricut class last week.  The card base is on the <shape1>.  I used a chipboard shape from the Cricut bundle and the coordinating stamp set to create this "Tea Party Invitation".  You could use this stamp for any type of party - it is very versatile!  I cut a flower on the Cricut and used sparkles to embellish the flower  and the chipboard shape.  Instant Memories was used to stamp the flourishes.

You're Sweet

This card was also inspired by my friend, Karen Pedersen.  This card features the December Stamp of the Month "Mad About You."  The flowers are made from 5 hearts for the lower layer and 5 hearts for the top layer - all of the hearts were cut on the Cricut and then stamped with the coordinating stamp.   Silver Glitz Glitter Gel adds that special sparkle to the border along with a bling button that I added to the center of the flower.  The flourish is from the Instant Memories stamp set.

Love To Love You Card

This 3 1/2" x 8" card was inspired by my friend, Karen Pedersen who lives in Utah.  We served on the CTMH Advisory Board together and she is a dear friend AND a brilliant artist!   Check out Karen's blog here!

I used the Roxie paper packet along with the Mad About You (stamp of the month) and Instant Memories stamp set.  I embellished the card with our Chocolate Striped Ribbon and Pearl Opaques.  The hearts were cut on the Cricut.

Love to Love You Card

Our December Stamp of the Month (Mad About You) is inspiring me to think about Valentine's Day.  I know, we haven't even celebrated Thanksgiving, but if you make cards for holidays, then you need to think ahead, right? 

I used Roxie Level 2 Paper, Childhood Portrait stamp set, Instant Memories stamp set, Mad About You stamp set, Pearl Opaques, and black ribbon. 

The card pattern is in the Originals book and is called "It's a Wrap."  The card is "wrapped" with a band which is very cute and different than just a standard card.  I heat embossed the kids with Versamark and Black Embossing Powder.  The Childhood Portrait stamp set takes me back to yesteryear because reminds me of the silhouette pictures that my Grandmother had in her bedroom when I was a little girl.  Every time I see something made with this stamp set it reminds me of her.

Roxie - 10 Things I Cherish Board Book

This darling book started out as a white chipboard book and ended up as a work of art!  In it are 10 Things that I Cherish - 1) Family; 2) Home; 3) Dean; 4) Stephanie; 5) Connor; 6) Brayden; 7) Holidays; 8) Summer Fun; 9) Birthday Celebrations; and 10) Vacations.  Yes, I know there are many more things that could be included but, I only had 10 pages! 

I used the 10 Things My Acrylix Stamp Set and Instant Memories Stamp Set as well as Roxie Level 2 Paper, Bling Assortment, Just Blooms Paper Shapes, 10 Things Pocket (tags), Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge, and sparkles.
