Cupcake Card–created with Artiste cartridge!

I thought I’d share my newest CUPCAKE card with you today! J
 Flirty Cupcake card using Artiste
A couple of FUN things about this card…

1. I LOVE the new Artiste cartridge, and how QUICK & EASY it makes card creating!  

The cupcake & the top of the cupcake came from the BIRTHDAY GIRL key…  Birthday Girl key - Artiste
The decorative, elegant FRAME on this card came from the FAMILY key…
Family key - Artiste

Take a peek at the images that are included on the Artiste Cricut Collection cartridge.

2. Another FUN item with this card…
I used the Fall Favorite FLIRTY paper pack…but WAIT…did you notice? 
Hmmm, are ALL of those papers from the Flirty paper pack?
No!!! I used THREE different paper packs to complete this card!!! It has been SUCH a CHALLENGE to me to mix and use different paper packs on the same project…WELL I conquered that challenge for the first time!!!

3. Do you know where the cupcake & banner stamp images came from? They are included in the Cricut Artiste BUNDLE!!!

The AMAZING stamp set used in this card, is just ONE of the 3 EXCLUSIVE stamp sets included in the Artiste Bundle packet!!!

Here is a picture of the stamp set I used…Artiste_birthday stamp setIsn’t this stamp set WONDERFUL???  And you will receive TWO more EXCLUSIVE stamp sets (different from this one) when you purchase the Artiste Cricut BUNDLE!!!

As you can see in the picture, all of our stamp sets that coordinate with our Cricut Cartridges have a PAGE NUMBER and SIZE printed on the stamp carrier sheet!!!  This makes finding the image & cutting it out EASY, PEASY!!!!



Well, OK…so let’s take a look at this cupcake card I created for my Convention class a couple months ago.  Yes, it’s the SAME card design, but by using a NEW paper pack…isn’t it amazing the different “feel” it can bring to the card?

I LOVE the La Belle Vie paper pack and the trendy, but elegant colors in this paper pack!

I’d love to chat with you about ANY questions you may have regarding today’s post!!

I often wonder “How did I create quickly & efficiently without our Cricut cartridges that coordinate with our stamp sets?”  I know that sounds silly, but as an AVID stamper…I ALWAYS seemed to be cutting out any image I was stamping!  Now, it’s only about 20% of the time that I will cut anything out by hand.  Close To My Heart’s Cricut Cartridges have saved me so much time! 

I LOVE Close To My Heart and how they STRIVE and ACCOMPLISH the Faster.Simpler. Easier. way to create!!!

Happy Creating!!!

  1. LOVE your cards!! Especially the La Belle Vie card! Both are beautiful. I like how you used the little banner and ribbon. And how you framed your cupcakes! Now you've inspired me to pull out that stamp set!
