CTMH Pemberley Card | Mojo Monday 224

I made this card for the Mojo Monday #224 challenge using the new Pemberley Paper Pack from the Close To My Heart 2012 Spring/Summer Idea Book. I decided to keep a sentiment off and just show off the pretty new papers, that way when something comes up I can just add a quick sentiment inside and be ready for any occasion.

For the banners, circles and the scalloped circle I used the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (of course). I honestly have not changed out this cartridge since July when I got it. It really has every shape imaginable for all you card makers, scrapbookers, stampers, and paper crafters. I would have previously brought out my bulky punches and only had 2 choices of circles sizes and just one scalloped circle (which cost me $45 for just THREE punches in only THREE sizes) or I could have brought out my cuttlebug and dies and tried to get the right size for the card. Now with the Art Philosophy Cartridge from Close To My Heart I don't have to bother with any of that...I just load some paper in my cricut, push any shape and cut in ANY size I want. I would have to spend a gazillion dollars on punches to have just a few shapes in ALL the sizes I can cut on my cricut.

CRICUT TIP: If you want to line up your paper or stamped imagine and have the cricut cut perfectly around it all you need to do is move your blade so it is right above the center of where your paper/image. On your cricut machine there is a "Center Point" button... push that and then push "cut" (with the shape/size you want). That is what I did when I cut the circle so the hexon shape was perfectly in the center. Easy Peasy!

Have I mentioned lately how this cartridge is a MUST HAVE... it will save you a bundle. So if you don't have it yet, what are you waiting for? ORDER TODAY! If you want to check out all the images on the cartridge be sure to check out my YouTube video, here!
