Take a peek at this FUN, exclusive Stamp set only available in August!!!J


AND....drum roll please...notice the RED outline around the shapes.  

This means it is CRICUT compatible....and with Close To My Heart's NEWEST Cartridge that was just released TODAY!!  It's called Artistry!! 
(come back here in 6 days, and join us for our Artistry Blog Hop!) 
  


I'm SO EXCITED to share the FUN card I created today!!  
I used BRAND NEW products, that just debuted at CTMH today, August 1st!! 

Here is my set of cards....  


I used was INSPIRED by the NEW Artistry Cricut Cartridge, and all of my Cricut cut shapes came from Key #5 of the Artistry cartridge.

So - was this a card design on this new Cricut cartridge? 
No, it's not - but with a quick click of a few buttons in the new Design Space for the Explore machine, I have a very fun CARD!!!

To create the card, I brought in 2 of the coffee cups, and a rectangle.  I layered them together like in the picture - and then WELDED them all together to create the card!! 


(***Some of you asked for the Design Space file...and I'm happy to share!  I've never shared files before...since I'm still learning Explore....but here is the link that should work because my file is public.
 https://us.cricut.com/design/#/canvas/29513236  Enjoy!) 

Then I used our WONDERFUL score board....and created the score lines so it would fold perfectly to make it a card! J


I used our NEW Zoe paper collection for these fun card.  Take a look at the inside, and you can see I used the SAME paper for both cards, but just used the opposite side - I LOVE the double sided paper we carry at Close To My Heart!!J



I did use our 5x7 striped dry embossing folder to add some lines to the holder...so easy to do and it adds so much! J 




Take notice of 2 new products on this card!!!  The Coral colored Shimmer Trim is a NEW color we now carry.... 

.....and the beautiful Enamel & Glitter Duos- green triangles are now orderable from your CTMH consultant! J


Here is the list of products I used on this card in case you'd like to create one of your own!  Happy Crafting! J
