Butterfly Shadow Box Wall Art using CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut CartridgeCategory: My Crafty Projects | Permalink Published: Sunday, February 05, 2012 I wanted to share the Butterfly Shadow Box I created using various different sizes of butterflies cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge from Close To My Heart.
Can you see the cute itty bitty ones? They were cut at 1/4" ... I just love those little butterflies. =) I cut the rest of them in sizes 1/2", 3/4", 1" all the way up to the big one which I believe is 2 1/2". I left the centers of the butterflies flat and then bent up the wings to add a 3D effect. The cardstock colors used were CTMH Smoothie, CTMH Creme Brulee and CTMH White Daisy over the damask patterned paper from the CTMH Stella Paper Pack. Each butterfly was adhered down using Liquid Glass from Close To My Heart. Once all the butterflies were in place I topped them off with some sparkles using a few little dots of CTMH Glitz down the center of each one. Here is another look at it before putting it into the 10" x 14" shadow bow frame... TO ORDER THE ART PHILOSOPHY CRICUT COLLECTION, CLICK HERE!

Post a CommentPaper Flower Topiary using CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut CartridgeCategory: My Crafty Projects | Permalink Published: Friday, February 03, 2012 After browsing Pinterest and seeing all the gorgeous topiaries I decided to come up with one of my own. Of course, I had to make it unique and different from all the ones I had seen and this is what I came up with. =)
This is one of the 3 projects I created after being asked by Cricut to design some projects for a bigger campaign they will be doing with summer projects. Very exciting!!!
And if you prefer to see pictures of the process, don't worry I've got you covered too...
Hope you enjoyed my topiary and will want to make one too. Please feel free to share your finished project on my facebook page or send me a link to your blog post. I'd love to see it. =) TO ORDER THE ART PHILOSOPHY CRICUT COLLECTION, CLICK HERE! TO ORDER CLOSE TO MY HEART PRODUCTS, CLICK HERE!

Post a CommentMojo Monday 225 Card using CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut CartridgeCategory: My Crafty Projects | Permalink Published: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 I just wanted to share what I came up with after seeing the Mojo Monday sketch this week. I had fun making this "Love" card using pennant banners from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. I have to admit that it took me a little bit to come up with an idea for the sketch since it's pretty much just 4 squares and a long rectangle in the center. =) Have you attempted the sketch? Details on how I made it: I used the new Stella paper pack (avail. Feb 1st) for the squares and rectangles, inked them up with CTMH black ink, cut the pennant banners using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge with CTMH black cardstock, popped them up with foam squares, made cute little bows with hemp to go between the banners, added L-O-V-E with the CTMH cork alphabet, made an accordion circle with CTMH black cardstock, adhered that to the card and stuck a CTMH Rhinestone Designer Brad through a CTMH Foundry Pin Clip and cut out a 1" heart using the Art Philosophy Cartridge to place on top of the pin, added a CTMH wooden button with a hemp bow and lastly I added 3 CTMH sparkles. Phew... that was information overload. Haha! I didn't want to leave any info out but this preggo mama is off to bed!!! I've been really sick and super tired this 1st trimester. Looking forward to feeling better in the next few weeks and get some energy back so I can craft more often. =) I've got so many ideas for upcoming projects and videos I want to create and share with you all.

Posted by: Melissa Cano Thursday, January 26, 2012 @ 8:49:15 AM Beautiful card, I love the fanned circle. I need to learn how to do that lol. Awesome job! Posted by: Ruth G Thursday, January 26, 2012 @ 8:19:36 AM Mandy, this is so much fun! It'd be absolutely perfect for a guy and we all know we need more cards that are good for them!
