Hi everyone! I am so excited to show you all the amazing things our Close to my Heart Cricut Artiste Cartridge has to offer. This first project is a little more involved that I will usually be showing just because it is a home decor item. It features our Moonlight Paper collection with lots of fun little extras! To get you in the mood this month, I've made a banner with the "My Creations banner". With 8 chipboard pieces and rings to attach them together, this was so easy to decorate. That hardest part was deciding which word to use on it.
Now, those of you familiar with our paper packs will know that there is this fun little strip of paper at the top that tells the name of the My Reflections collection and the colors used. On the other side is a printed design that you can use in your paper crafting. That is where the words strip if from on the first piece. I used the Artiste Cartridge (Accent 2 of the Halloween/Boo button. Cut 2 @1.5") to cut out the round accent. The cricut cuts little score marks so you know exactly where to accordian fold it! Glue together and sponge with black along the outer edge. I also use the Moonlight Complements Dimensional Elements as an accent. To enhance that just a little, I used the Stardust Glitz Gel and Bronze Glitz Gel. The "S" banner features a tombstone from the cartridge (Eek/Spooky button, accent 1 @2.5"). I also stamped the mummy from the Workshop on the Go stamp set. Buying the WOTG gives you the paper, some embellishments and a cute stamp set that all coordinate to make it easier to put together pages and projects. It also includes a brochure to tell you exactly how to make the featured pages from the kit! Finally I stamped the "happy hauntings" with Versamark and heat embossed it with Black.
The next 2 letters include the "Boo" from the Cartridge @ 2.25"(I just cut the bottom part of the B off to make it a P). The P is stamped with a retired stamp set (because I love the bats) and the bat was cute from Artiste (Eek/Spooky button Card @1.5"). I needed something to make the P stand out so I also cut that shape from the Halloween/Boo button, Accent 2 (shift) at 2.75"). The "O" I cut from grey and gold rush with the same accent behind. The Cat is from the Eek/Spooky button at 2.5"). Cute little zip strip at the top, and black embossing powder at the bottom (retired stamp set, sorry) finish it off.
The next "O" is still from Boo, with the tombstone and front from the same accent button as above. I added a zip strip through the middle with some paper behind. The skeleton is from Creepy Creatures. I accented him with some ink and my water brush. "Who's afraid" is from the WOTG stamp set again and heat embossed.
The "K" is from Eek, the web from Eek/Spooky button on Artiste (accent 4 @ 3"). The spider is embossed from the WOTG stamp set and you can't tell from the picture, but there is glitter glitz get on the web. I stapled the top strip with some Black Tulle behind.
Finally, the last 2. The Y uses stamps from the WOTG (fence with owl and "bugs and hisses". Embossing powder and the owl is stamped again on another sheet of paper with gypsy ink and colored with watercolor pencils. Again I used the zip strip and stamped the web underneath. The final banner piece is similar to the first just using a different Dimensional element.
Whew! That's it for today, lots of work on that one, but lots of fun shapes and accents from the Artiste Cartridge! I hope you enjoyed todays take...
