CTMH Cricut Artiste Birthday Card

I finally got the chance to use my CTMH Artiste Stamp set: Birthday!  I love the colors here.  I also cut with my cricut.

Easter Bunny Milk Carton

Okay, I'm a little early on Easter.  I didn't even look at the calender until a week ago to see when it was.  So I made these about a month ago thinking it would be much sooner than April 20th.  Oh well.  Now all I have to do is fill them with snacks and they will go into the Easter Baskets!

This is the milk carton from Close To My Heart Artiste cricut cartridge.  The bunny I just kind of pieced together using the basic shapes in the CCR (cricut craft room).  As opposed to the Cricut Design Studio.  Which is  whole different tangent I'm going to go into.  I bought the new Cricut Explore because I heard it would cut svg's and true type fonts and be so wonderful.....NOT!  I returned it and I'm still angry.  The Design Studio can't even do the basics like shadow feature the Silhouette Cameo and SCAL can do.  Very disappointing!

Well, back to happy Easter thoughts!

CAbi Gift box

My step-mom sells CAbi and she gets these great little gift boxes once in a while and she was going to just throw them out! Can you believe that?!?   Well I wasn't having any of that!  I took those boxes and transformed them into a great gift box that she can give to her special hostesses. I used the Artiste Cartridge from Cricut.  I LOVE this cartridge.  There is so many great cuts on it.  And I added some bling to it, so now I can enter it in the Fabulous Cricut contest this week!  The best part is that I filled the little pouch inside with a perfume sample that I ordered on ebay.  I got ten little Lacoste Pink perfume samples for $4.99!  You can't beat that and it smells fabulous.  I've been sniffing myself all night!

Mother's Day Card

Well, I'm entering a card in the Fantabulous Cricut challenge for the first time in a long time.  Mother's Day is Sunday and I am barely getting my cards done in time.  But, HEY, they are done!  No judgement.  I used the butterfly from the Artiste cricut cartridge.   So pretty.

CWC #112 and SSSC172

This card I made for two challenges.  One is the Sweet Sunday Sketch #172, or SSSC172.  I love the sketch challenges!  The other is for Cooking with Cricut Challenge #112.  CWC's challenge is "I feel the LOVE" project card outreach and these cards go to children that are hospitalized during the holiday season in California.  Is that awesome or what?

I made this card using the Winter Frolic cart for the Snowman and Artiste for the tag.  I think any child would LOVE a snowman, right?

OCCC - Our creative corner challenge - Ice Skater

I saw this challenge over at Our Creative Corner and flipped out because I had just got finished with this card and it fit their challenge to a tee!  I guess great minds think alike after all.  Anyhow, I have had this image in my mind all day and wanted to work in this beautiful paper I found from Authentique collection:  Peaceful.  It is so gorgeous and is the inspiration for the theme of this years christmas decorating for me.

I found the silhouette on the Winter Wonderland cricut cartridge and the rest of the shapes on the card are from the new Artiste CTMH cart.  Hope you enjoy!
