Card with Stella!!
I joined a challenge on the Cricut Circle message boards, where I have to use a specific cartridge each week. This was the first week and the cartridge was "Sophie" which was a circle exclusive cartridge. This is what I came up with:
The card base is CTMH Daisy White paper cut down to a 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 card. Then after thumbing though my paper, I chose the CTMH Stella paper for the background of the card, the oval and flowers. Don't you just love this paper?!?! The background was cut at 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 and the oval and flower oval were from the Sophie cart and cut at 3 inches. Then I grabbed the CTMH "Happy Birthday" stamp which came with the Art Philosophy bundle and there you have it!
When cutting out the images, I saw this little bird and decided I needed to use it, so I dressed up the inside of the card with my scraps and the little birdie!
Supplies used for this card:
CTMH Daisy White cardstock
CTMH Stella paper pack
CTMH Happy Birthday stamp (from Art Philosphy bundle)
CTMH inks - lagoon, olive, tulip
Cricut Cartridge - Sophie
Peals and Liquid Pearls

CTMH gathering project and Target mailboxes
Today I have two Valentine's Day Projects. The first is one of the gathering projects from CTMH. It uses the Art Philosophy cartridge, my favorite CTMH "Lucy" paper, as well as CTMH "Colonial White", and the CTMH "A Blossom" stamp set. It's perfect for Valentine's! The heart bag was cut out at 5 1/2" and would a perfect little treat bag for the kids! The flowers are stamped on the corresponding cuts outs from the Art Philosophy cartridge! It makes such a cute little gift!
Next up are the Target mailboxes. I've seen a lot of crafters really do these up and make works of art out of these $1.00 mailboxes and some paper! After making 100 or so paper flowers Saturday, combined with the fact that I was making them for my bosses 2 year old twins, I decided to keep my mailboxes SIMPLE! I pulled out my vinyl, cut the names from, what else, the Art Philosophy cartridge, cut out the hearts from the same cart, then decided to add the Hello Kitty silhouette from the Hello Kitty cartridge. I put a couple of dozen Hershey's kisses inside and viola! Very easy project!
I hope you enjoyed today's projects as much as I enjoyed making them! Here is a list of tools used for the projects:
Heart Bag:
Cricut
CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge
CTMH Lucy paper
CTMH Colonial White paper
CTMH A Blossom stamp set
CTMH inks, blush, creme brulee, grey wool
CTMH button - grey glitter
Target Mailboxes:
Cricut
CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge
Hello Kitty Cartridge Greetings Cartridge
Pink Cricut Vinyl
Mini Mailboxes - Target $1.00 bin

Kissing Ball
Paper Flowers! There are so many possibilities! Yesterday I spent all day making paper flowers, I lost count after 60! I went back and forth over what to do, then I decided on a Kissing Ball for Valentine's Day.
I cut the flowers using the Art Philosophy cartridge at 3.5 inches. The paper is "Lucy" from Close To My Heart. It's double sided paper, so when I was making the flowers, I reversed every other one. If you look closely you will see the difference; some flowers have the white "flower pattern" on the inside, some have the pink patern on the inside. I thought it gave it the project more interest.
Lucy is definitely one of my favorite of the new CTMH papers this year. Here's a better look at the paper:
Tools used for this project:
5 1/2" styrofoam ball
Hot glue gun
CTMH paper - Lucy
CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge
ribbon
Thanks for looking!
