Shabby Chic

 

The base of my card is CTMH Champagne cardstock, which I embossed with one of the new CTMH Embossing Folders called Damask.   I added CTMH Hollyhock Zipper Lace to the one side.  I then used Hollyhock cardstock to make my square piece, which I distressed all the edges of.   I stamped on the heart which is from the CTMH Sweet & Lovely stamp set, which is one of the stamp sets that come with the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Bundle.  I first stamped it with Chocolate Ink...and then stamped it again using White Ink.   The "Many Thanks" is from the Chantilly Paper Pack...one of the borders on one of the designer papers.    I then added three different colored flowers to it (which are not CTMH.)

 

Love You Hearts

 

Made this valentine's card for my hubby.

I used up some of my scraps from the CTMH Sparkle & Shine Paper Pack.

I cut the hearts overlay from the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.  And the hearts along both sides of it are cut from the CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I then added four pearls, using two different size pearls.  I hand wrote the Love and You with a white marker and attached them with 3D foam dots to make them "pop" up a little.

In The Spotlight

I made this card using the "In The Spotlight" technique.

I used the CTMH "Sweet & Lovely" stamp set...which is one of the stamp sets included with the CTMH Artbooking Cartridge.   I stamped the flower heart stamp around the card in black ink, except for the center flower heart.  I stamped that in cranberry ink...then colored it in.   The frame around the the colored heart is cut out using the Artbooking Cartridge.    I also added a little black flower to it that is from the CTMH Fabric Necklace Kit.

Double Fold Pocket Card

 All products used are Close To My Heart.

I have made a double fold pocket card.

I used the Huntington Paper Pack, the rose is from the Flirty Complements Dimensional Elements, and the flower heart stamp is from the Sweet & Love stamp set (which is one of the 3 stamp sets that come with the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge package.)

For the first pocket I stamped on the flower heart and then attached the rose element to the top left hand corner.   For the second pocket I hand wrote a personal message.

Here is a picture of the card and both pocket inserts:

New Baby

I used the Babycakes Paper Pack & Babycakes Stickease Assortments.
The whale stamp and the Whale, what do you know? A New Baby is CTMH Exclusive Stamps set called New Baby...stamped with CTMH Exclusive Inkpad Chocolate.
