Monkey Belly Box from MyScrapChick.com

Here's a cute Monkey Belly Box that I made with my Cricut Explore for Greta's Craft Fair.  The svg cutting file is from myscrapchick.com

I used CTMH cardstock and inked the edges in CTMH Chocolate & Desert Sand Inks.  I love how these turned out.

Strawberry Lollipop Holder made with CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge

Here are some Strawberries I cut with my Cricut Explore and the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge to make Lollipop Holders. 

I sponged around the edges of each berry and topper & used double sided tape to adhere the flap so they won't come undone when the lollipop is inside.

Once the lollipop was inside I just tightened the twine so the Strawberry closed around it. I tied a bow then slid the topper on.  The hole in the topper was smaller than the stick so I just made a few small cuts with my CTMH Micro-Tip Scissors so the paper wouldn't tear.

CTMH Camper Crazy with Timberline

I made this card with CTMH Camper Crazy Stamp Set & retired CTMH Timberline cardstock. 

I inked the edges of the cardstock with CTMH Desert Sand Ink and stamped the RV and the sentiment in CTMH Chocolate ink. The card base is CTMH Bamboo and I used CTMH Twilight (retired) under the wood-grain cardstock strip.  I embellished it with CTMH Durables Triangle Studs and some Twine that I had in my stash.

The card pattern is from CTMH Make It From Your Heart Volume 2 Pattern 23.

CTMH Artfully Sent Worlds Best Father

Here's another card I've been working on for Greta's Craft Fair.

I used the CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge with some CTMH Timberline cardstock that I received as samples in my Consultant Kit last year.

I used CTMH Bamboo for the card base and CTMH Chocolate cardstock for the moustaches.

Cards for Greta's Craft Fair

Just a week and a half until Greta's Craft Fair, a fundraiser to help out a little girl with a rare form of Cancer.

I've been busy working on cards to sell at the craft fair - I will be donating 50% of my sales from all handmade items that day along with 15% of all catalogue or internet orders with Close To My Heart

These cards were made with CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge & CTMH Skylark cardstock (retired).   I used CTMH Desert Sand Ink to stamp the sentiment and sponged around the edges of the tag. 

The Dream Big Sentiment is from CTMH Your Own Kind of Wonderful Stamp Set

This card is the other side of the Skylark cardstock,  with a layer of CTMH Kraft cardstock behind the bird cut-out.

I resized the Scottie card in Cricut Design Space Ipad app - the one on the left is slightly smaller than an A2 card.  The one on the right is sized at 5x7.  I used CTMH Ruby cardstock, CTMH Red Enamel Hearts, CTMH White Daisy Cardstock and backed the dog and word bubble with scraps of black and yellow.

On these cards I used the Slice feature in Cricut Design Space to cut off the card front so I could add coloured cardstock behind the cutouts.  I resized it a little smaller than the original card front so it would have a border show around it also.  The card front and the Aliens are all from the CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge.  I used CTMH Chalk It Up Cardstock for the card front, CTMH Pear and Sunset Cardstock for the card bases and CTMH Silver Shimmer Trim (cut in half to 1/4 inch) along the top and bottom edges.

Cricut Explore Make It Now Multi-lingual Thank You Card

Here's a Cricut Design Space Make It Now Card that I made using the Slice Feature to change how the words would cut out.

I have the words cut out from the front of the card and used scraps to make the rainbow on the backside of the front layer.  Then I used foam tape to pop it out from the A2 card base.

The original file in Design Space had each letter being cut out individually and then pieced together on the card front.  

This entire card was made from scraps in my craftroom, even the card base was leftover from another project.   It was fairly quick using the slice feature.   And I just trimmed the rainbow coloured scraps with a pair of scissors then used some Tombow permanent adhesive to stick it down.
