Smile Card using Artistry - CTMH

Hi to each one of you!! 

I hope you are still excited to see cards I’ve created using our FABULOUS Paper Fundamentals collection!  I know I’ve created a lot with this product line….but I just LOVE the versatility of them!  

 

I “HAD” to make one more card using this FABULOUS paper line – especially since these pattern designs will be retiring on August 31st. (not the fundamentals product line, just these patterns) 

Take a look….

So as I was brainstorming on what to include on this card, I decided to use the Paper Fundamentals AND the NEW Artistry Cricut collection!! 

If you haven’t heard the NEWS of Close To My Heart’s 5th Cricut cartridge – you’ll want to CLICK HERE to see just EXACTLY what this EXCLUSIVE Cricut collection can do!

Another thought I had in my creative process, was that I wanted to use one of the STAMP images that came along in the Artistry Cricut Bundle…and I was able to achieve that!! 

The frame, and word smile – came from the “Perfect Picture” stamp set that is available only in this particular Cricut Bundle!  You can see a picture of the 3 stamp sets above. 

I learned something NEW as I created this card….I was able to heat emboss an image on top of the pre-embossed Paper Fundamentals paper– WAHOO!!!! 

I was SO EXCITED to learn this!!  I thought the pre-embossed design would “reject” any other embossing type powder…but that’s NOT the case!  

So – let’s take a look at these flowers close up. 

I used white embossing powder and heat embossed the frame on top of the Paper Fundamentals.  You can see the shiny “glow” of the glossy paper fundamentals in the top right of the photo above. 

NEXT – I wanted to cut some flower images from the NEW Artistry CRICUT collection, and decided to also use the paper fundamentals for this part of the project.

I was REALLY excited how they turned out, AND I again was AMAZED at how detailed my new Explore machine cut these delicate flowers!

For my embellishments…I cut the NEW Coral Shimmer Trim in half…and then I took some of our CLEAR sparkles and colored them with our orange alcohol markers!!! 

I LOVE that I can change the color of anything (sequins, sparkles, ribbon, shimmer trim, etc), just by coloring with these GREAT markers!!

Make sure to check your stash & see if you need any of these items that are still available in August!  The Paper Fundamentals paper will be retiring by August 31st OR While Supplies Last!!
