Another Card using Happy to Be Friends and Hopscotch Paper

I did tell you that this is a super versatile stamp set.  Look at this quick and I do mean quick and simple card made using it and the Hopscotch B&T (remember Hopscotch retires on March 31st so don't miss out on it).

I really like how colorful and whimsical this card is.  Here is a list of all the supplies used and the cutting instructions (this one goes together in minutes).

Cricut® Artfully Sent: Sentiment Function

This is just another example of some really adorable cards that can be made with this cartridge.  Like the Saint Patrick's Day shaker card I made in my previous post these are all quick and easy because the cartridge does all the work for you.  Don't forget it also comes with a package of Daisy White Cardstock and three beautiful stamp sets so you can get started creating your cards immediately.  If you are interested in the cartridge it is available on my website at www.craftwithronnie.ctmh.com or by clicking the shopping cart at the top of this blog.  Happy Crafting!!!!

Re-purpose a kit

I loved the look of the Heartstrings card making kit but I really didn't need 15 Valentine's Day cards so I bought it and re-purposed it.  Here is what I came up with...

I took it from a Valentine's Card and made it something I could use everyday.  I plan to re-purpose the whole kit.  (Best part, I cut out everything for the 15 cards and still had enough materials left for at least 10 more if I just added a few things from my stash).  So here are the cuts for this one (remember if you order the Workshop on the Go Heartstrings Cardmaking Kit it includes all the cutting diagrams, papers, card bases, stamps (except the sentiment I used on this one) envelopes, pixie twine and more to make this card and lots more for just $24.95 it is item # G1090).  If you like this one don't wait it will only be available until March 31st.

Here are the supplies and cutting instructions if you want to buy items individually or use some you already have....

Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge St. Patty's Day Shaker Card

Shake, shake, shake, everyone loves a shaker card and this one was so easy I couldn't believe it.

I cut the card base was cut using the Close to My Heart Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge (page 8) sleeve feature at 5 x 7”

I then cut Topiary (X5635) cardstock to 4 11/16 x 6 5/8”

I cut a sheet of Acetate to 4 5/8 x 6 5/8” (I ordered mine from Cricut.com)

Glitter and sequins (from my stash)

Ribbon (from my stash)

3-D Foam Tape (Z2060) the CTMH 1/4" works best

Liquid Glass (Z769)

Use liquid glass tape to attach acetate to the back of the front of the card covering the clovers and let it dry well (just a few minutes).  Then I placed the 3-D foam tape (1/4”) completely around the edges of the back of the front of the card (be sure not to leave gaps or your glitter and sequins will fall out).  Pour in glitter and sequins add the topiary cardstock.  Attach ribbon and shake away!!!

Everyone in my workshop loved this card, it is just fun to play with.  Supplies can be purchased at www.craftwithronnie.ctmh.com  or by clicking the shopping cart at the top of this blog.  Happy Crafting!!!

Cute card using the February Stamp of the Month

When I first got my SOTM set I thought, now how am I going to use that.  We I found tons of inspiration including some cute cards designed by Kathy Burrows using the stamp set and I was hooked.  Here is the one I made...

I also made one using two of the pink tones, Hollyhock and Pixie papers and inks and the Joyfull Birthday stamp set (B1419) which I love and use all the time.  Here is a picture of it....

So here goes, super easy to make I promise (although hubby didn't realize I stamped the paper, nor did one of the ladies in the workshop, they both thought I was using patterned paper).

These are the supplies I used to make the blue card but you can just switch out the cardstock and ink for whatever colors you want.

February SOTM – A Happy Hello (S1502)

Pacifica cardstock 5 ½ x 8 ½” folded to 5 ½ x 4 ¼” (X5759)

Crystal Blue cardstock 5 ¼ x 4” (1292)

Daisy White cardstock 5 x 3 ¾” (1385)

Pacifica Ink (Z2192)

Crystal Blue Ink (Z2117)

Bitty Sparkles (Z1263)
