Cool Cruisin' Card

This is another card that I showed at the Cricut Class in April.  I used the Cruisin' Paper Pack and the April Stamp of the Month, "You Are..."  I cut the stars (both layers) with the Cricut AP Cartridge and popped them with foam tape.  I used our Durables Studs and black seam binding as the embellishments.  I think this would make a fabulous masculine card for birthdays, father's day, graduation, etc. 

You only have a few more days to order the April Stamp of the Month!  Don't miss out on this fabulous stamp set!

Incredibly Fun Cricut Card

I made this card for the Cricut Class last week. Each month we focus on one page in the Cricut AP booklet. This month we used page 40 which is <tag2> and <star5>. The card was cut as a 4 1/2" card. I cut the ribbon slide/tag from the tag key on page 40 as well. I used the April Stamp of the Month, "You Are...," to add the sentiment and seam binding ribbon and Durables Studs to embellish this card. This card would be really cute tied to a coordinating sack.

Cricut French Fry Box - Cricut Class Project

Wow, it has been a busy time of year in my world. I have missed not blogging the past few weeks and I am hoping to have a little more time to post inspiring projects for you!

Here is a cute little French Fry Box made with the Cricut AP Cartridge (font layer; shift; <shape6>) .  The french fry box is made from the Cruisin' paper packet and I cut the box 7".  The red and black stars and the banner were cut with the AP cartridge as well. 

I used a small star out of our Dimensional Elements Stars package and I colored over the star with the brush tip of a Twilight Marker.  The word "Amazing" is from the April Stamp of the Month called "You Are...".    A bling button adds dazzle to this project.

This little box could be used for lots of purposes.  I think this is perfect for a gift card holder like the above picture shows (stuff with gift shred and put a gift card in).  A few ideas are:  graduation, a new baby, birthday, etc.  The class participants said they thought it would be fun stuff with candy, or other small treats too.

Above is the April Stamp of the Month, "You Are..."   It is $17.95 or $5 with your purchase of $50 or more.  I would be happy to order it for you, or you can shop on my website http://ctmh.com/stampingaudrey from the comfort of your home.

 

Florentine Star Card

This card is another sample that I made for the Cricut Class on Saturday.  I used the card button on page 25 and cut it out as a 4 1/2" card.  For the star I cut four sizes of <star2> (3"; 2 1/2"; 2"; 1 1/2").  I used a scoring stylus and our fabulous new ruler to emboss the lines on the back of each star - going point to point (use your versamat or a mouse pad under your star).  I creased the embossed lines and rubbed a Cocoa stamp pad across them.  3D foam tape between each layer makes the star look dimensional.

Don't you just love our Mini Medley's!  I used the Pewter Mini Medley corner and a button.  I tied a piece of Color Ready Seam Binding through the button.

Florentine Ticket Card

I have a monthly Cricut Class and my goal is to teach participants how to use their Cricut.  We focus on one page in the Cricut AP Cartridge Booklet each month.  This month our focus was on page 25 in the booklet which is <rectangle4> and <star2>. 

This card is one of the pieces of artwork that I created to show at our Cricut Class this past week.  The card base is on the "Card" button - which you will find on the <rectangle4> button.  The size of the card is 5 1/2" tall.  I also cut the <rectangle4> shapes and used them across the front of the card.

I used the Enjoy stamp set to stamp the bottom layer of the flower (it was cut on the Cricut too).  The top flower is the <flower6> shape.  I sponged the edges of both flowers and curled the petals upward on the top flower. I used an Antique Copper Designer Brad in the center of the flower. 

I also used the Family Love stamp set to stamp the focal point.  I stamped it by using the rock n roll technique with  Creme' Brulee ink and Twilight ink,  Seam binding ribbon finishes this card off.

If you have a Cricut and need to learn how to use it, you should join me for the next class which is scheduled for April 9 (pre-registration is required).  The project is $2 or FREE when you place an order at the class.
