Thankful Cards



Hello everyone and welcome to the 2nd Thursday of September! It's time for my monthly turn to share with everyone here and over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY and CRICUT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART!

Today I chose to make a great pocket and tags combo that is on the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. If you don't already have a CTMH consultant that you purchase from, you are welcome to click HERE to visit my site and place an order for this amazing cartridge as well as many other goodies!

Here is my finished project:



You can find this pocket and tags on page 25 of the cartridge booklet.

To make this project the size that will work with the coordinating stamp sets, you need to size the pocket at 7.5"H.  Adhere a wide strip of ribbon around the pocket after it is assembled, leaving the seam in the front. It gets covered up with a label.

Cut the tags at 3.5"H and if you have the coordinating stamp set - stamp the borders on them. This stamp set is S1109 which was the September 2011 SOTM called Limited Edition.

The sentiment stamps are from ABOVE RUBIES STUDIO.  I added some ribbon to make the tags pop! :-)



Next, make the label for the front. The label and layer is found on page 55 of the cartridge booklet. it is cut at 1.25"H.  I stamped it with a stamp from the Limited Edition set.

Adhere the label with pop dots on top of the ribbon on the front.


Time to put it all together!

 I'm thinking this will make a great gift for someone who needs an encouraging word or two or three!

Thanks for stopping by today!

The valentine cuts for the front of the ca

My Pink Stamper Challenge

My Pink Stamper has posted a challenge today to any and all who would like a shot at being on her design team! My project needed to use a favorite Cricut cartridge and the colors: pink, green and brown and another color of my choice. I used my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge and my Imagine with the Mr. Frosty pattern cartridge and Snapshot Everyday cartridges. I am going to frame this project so I can always look at my sweet little, brand-new grandson!! The mat behind this adorable picture was printed and cut on my Imagine from the standard shapes on the Imagine and the Mr. Frosty cartridge. I really like this snowflake pattern! This is a close-up of the tree and layers from page 60 of my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons Cricut cartridge and was cut at 3.5"H. I used Star Dust Stickles to make the "snow" on the tree look like it was glistening! Notice the "wood" paper for the tree trunk - this is a texture pattern on the Snapshot Everyday Imagine
