Day 6: Artiste Let's try this again!

OK.  My computer is fixed, I did not lose any pictures (whew!) and I am hopefully back on track!  The question is, do I start at 1 or at 6 haha?  I think I'll keep going and see how far I get!

This next example was made for Breast Cancer Awareness night as gift bags for my daughters "sisters".  It does use mostly CTMH products, however, I purchased a stamp set last year specifically for Breast Cancer and I love it.

 Each sister received a "bag/box" and card with gift card.  I will show that one to you tomorrow ;-)

The box was cut from baby pink CS (retired) at "fit to page" option of the "Be Mine" button 

<3D object> of the Artiste cartridge.  Very little adhesive is used on this box (just along the sides).  I then cut a strip of B/T paper (retired) and edged it with a fiskars border punch.  There is a shape to coordinate with the top on the cartridge, but I couldn't stamp on it and use that shape.

After I cut out the box, I stamped it using My Favorite Things "Choose Hope" Stamp sets. I then cut out the front shape and stamped using CTMH "Always Remember" (retired, sorry).  Then finished the top with some pink ribbon.

Although this project uses a lot of retired and non-CTMH products, it shows off how easy it is to adapt and create using Artiste! (Inside the box we put 3 homemade chocolate chip cookies!)

Products used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):

Artiste Cricut Cartridge, Paper: Baby Pink CS (retired), B/T paper (retired); Stamps: Always Remember (A1095) (retired), Choose Hope (My Favorite Things); Ink: Hollyhock (Z2128); ribbon (unknown)
