Paper Goodies To Start The School Year Right!

On the first day of school, my teacher friends will find one of these hanging from their classroom door. I just wanted to welcome the brand new school year with something special. A little card with a special thought, a piece of chocolate (to help survive the first days),and maybe a little bottle of hand sanitizer..LOL....whatever treats they will find, I hope, will make their first days warm and cheerful.

"Mischief" Card Fun

Yesterday I posted a "sneak peak" of this card I created. The design idea is a combination of "All Stacked Up" from CTMH's "Wishes" book and the mix of papers is from an idea posted by Aaron Brown as she demonstrated how to use the new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge exclusive to CTMH.

The card is one that was made using this cartridge when selecting the "ticket" shaped image and selecting the "card" function. I set the machine at 5 3/4" when cutting this card out.

The patterned paper was from the new "Mischief" paper pack that is in the Autumn/Winter 2011 catalog. (Contact me if you would like your very own copy)
I cut this piece at 2 1/2" using the same "ticket" shaped image but this time without the card feature activated. Using the same image and sized cut, cut a piece of colonial white cardstock to put inside the card.

The 3 squares are colonial white cardstock cut at 1 1/2" and sponged with sunset ink.

The cupcake image was cut out of sunset cardstock at 2 1/2" and wrapped with black & white ribbon finished with some dabs of silver glitter glitz gel. The stars were also cut from our "bug" friend at 1".

Lots of fun making this card and super easy to do.

Pillow Boxes Are A Hit

So here is one more design of these great pillow boxes I am having a blast making.  The new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge that is exclusive to CTMH can make so many wonderful projects super easy. 

 

These paper flowers are the most fun to make and can be finished in just a few minutes.

Another NEW product from CTMH that I am absolutely in love with is the Glitz Glitter Gel….adds just enough “sparkle” to your project.  Let me know if I can help you design your next paper project or if you would like to get your own NEW product from CTMH!  valentino.danielle@yahoo.com
