Hi All!
Welcome to my first ever blog hop with the Rose Blossoms! I'm so excited to be participating!
You've probably just hopped over from Sara's
Kreative Korner. (Is she loaded with talent or what?!) I'm so glad you've hopped by. I have a couple of projects to share with you, along with a little give-away goodness. All the projects I'm featuring were made with the new
CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge. Folks, this cartridge is AWESOME! So much creative material here! Let me show you just a fraction of what this little cartridge can do.
First up is a birthday card and box combo that I made for my niece who turned 18 this month.
The card and envelope are found on page 52 of the Artiste handbook. I cut both at 5 1/2-inches. The motif on this particular card is found on page 33.
(By the way, this is just 1 of 9 s-fold cards on this cartridge!) I used
cocoa card stock for the base layer of the card and covered that with B&T paper from
Stella. The flower accent is from the
Bohemian assortment, the button is from the
pink assortment, and the twine is from the
neutral assortment. The envelope and accent pieces are cut from
colonial white card stock. (I lined the envelope with
Stella B&T paper to match the card.) The sentiment and accent flower are from the
Card Word Puzzle stamp set, and stamped in
smoothie pigment ink and
bamboo exclusive ink. I inked around the edges of everything in either
chocolate exclusive ink or the
smoothie pigment ink. Finally, the "18" on the inside is made with our new
irresistibles houndstooth alphabet inked with smoothie pigment.
The box is found on page 74. It is cut at 1-inch, which is the height of the sides, from cocoa card stock and Stella papers. The flower embellishment and leaves are found on page 54. The flower is cut from Stella B&T and the leaves are cut from
olive card stock. The flower button is from the
basic assortment. I used tan pearls from the
opaques mocha adhesive gems in the center of the button and then in graduating sizes on each side. The button on the front of the box is from the pink assortment, and the bakers twine is from
the paradise assortment.
The next project will go to a lucky follower. I'll be doing a random drawing on Monday morning and will announce the winner on Tuesday. (I'm kinda excited because I've never done a give away before!)
This is a cute little note set that I made using the magazine box on page 47 and the card and envelope on page 73. (This idea was inspired by fellow CTMH Independent Consultant
Mandy Leahy.) I cut the box at 4 1/2-inches from
kraft card stock, and the cards were cut at 4 inches from the
saddle and
cashmere card stocks in the
Clementine paper pack. The envelopes were cut at 4 inches from kraft card stock.
Here are the cards that are included:

The lucky winner will also receive the new Autumn/Winter Idea Book packed with creative inspiration!
I hope you enjoyed my little smidgen of what the
Artiste cartridge can do. Don't forget to post a comment and become a follower. Now hop on over to see what the über-creative
