I had a very busy weekend, like all of them it seems. <div>
I have a video to share with you all today. It is the first in a series of 22 instructional videos to help us all learn how to get the most out of the Close To My Heart Artbooking cartridge. I am learning to love this versatile cart. I have made cards, a mini album and a couple of scrapbook pages with it. I hope we all are able to find some useful information as I post the videos once a week.</div>

Happy Labor Day! It's a bittersweet day for me. It's the unofficial end of summer and school starts on Thursday, but I LOVE fall!! It is by far my favorite season.The air gets crisp, the colors will be changing and it will be time for all things pumpkin !</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Very soon, I will be sharing some of my fall themed stuff, but for today I have a quick thank you card :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I have never used the smaller cards for anything, not even gift tags. But when I found myself wanting to add a thank you card to a small package. I decided to give it a try. I will be making more of these to have in my card box. It was quick, easy and so cute !<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used Close To My Heart S1205 - which was a Stamp of the Month from May of 2012. with Honey Ink and Buttercup paper. The ribbon and glitter glue are from my 'collection'</div>

I have had a wonderful summer. I got much more done than I usually do and we moved my craft room to the lower level, into a much more open space. It is brighter and more organized than my spare bedroom space and I am finding it much easier to keep 'less messy'. Heehee :) My hope is that I will be able to keep up with all the projects that I have found that I want to do for the coming months. No promises to you or to myself, but a solemn - I'll try !!<br />
I found this idea on Pinterest, of coarse! - <a href="http://sparklensprinkle.com/g/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album53&id=aha" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I really liked the colors that she put together, but of coarse when I was ready to try it out, I had nothing even close. So I went through my umm rather large selection of pattern paper and found this. But then I couldn't make up my mind on the card base... as you will see... for me to only use 2 different colors is a pretty good thing !<br />

The one sheet of patterned paper I used was a 6" x 6" sheet. I backed all the pieces in black. The stamps are SU and the butterflies are a SU dielet.</div>

I don't really do much in the way of 'Manly' cards but I'm okay with this one.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used two strips of scrap paper and used my distressing tool on the edges. I stamped the distressed background from <b>Close To My Heart - D1544 </b> on the top part of the card base then used a leave stamp from SU. The sentiment is also from SU. The metal button is from my button jar.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used the Imagine Nursery Tails cartridge and cut the background at 6 inches and the giraffe tag at 4 inches. I cut out the giraffe and the tiny butterflies and used pop dots to attach them to the background.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The name is cut from Birthday Bash at 1 inch using both the font and font shadow.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It took me less than 30 minutes to put this bag together. All i have to do now is add some tissue and the gift and it's all ready for mom and baby!</div>

I found my inspiration on Pinterest <a href="http://stampin-n-stuff.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/beautiful-butterflies-with-you-are.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<div>

<div>
<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All the cuts are from the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge. I used a Stampin Up stamp for the background on the card base and the colored butterflies. For the butterflies I used Versa Mark ink and Iridescent Embossing powder. I used a twine that has a silver thread (from Paper Wishes) for the body and antennae. The birthday sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I absolutely love how great this card is in all the different colors.</div>

Don't forget the August special from Close To My Heart...</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It seems like there is a baby explosion going on all around me. New grandkids, nieces, nephews and friends... there are going to be babies busting out all over in the next few months. So I decided I had better get ahead of the game and start making a few little somethings. I am starting with this very versatile gift Bag in a Box that I found a few years ago on <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/boxinabag/" target="_blank">Splitcoaststampers</a>. If you have a hard time following my directions just click on over there and see the original.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Okay, here goes...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The bottom is a 4.5" x 4.5" piece of cardstock that is scored at 1" on all sides.</div>
<div>
Clip up to the score line on each corner as shown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Put sticky strip on each tab and fold in to form the box.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remove the tape from the bottom, lay the box along the edge, I started in the middle of the box </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so the seam would be centered in the back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
continue to line up the bottom of the paper with the bottom edge</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you get to the end, remove the tape from the side of the designer paper and attach to the opposite side.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c6d9MGrrag8/UgJdcK_nYQI/AAAAAAAABVY/3UTVkiNqn38/s1600/2013-08-05+15.41.29-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c6d9MGrrag8/UgJdcK_nYQI/AAAAAAAABVY/3UTVkiNqn38/s400/2013-08-05+15.41.29-1.jpg" width="352" /></a></div>

Here is what a completed one looks like looking in from the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the scalloped edge border, I used the Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge cut at 1"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sponged the edges first...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then added two rows of sticky strip to the back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I attached to the bottom edge the same way as the designer paper.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the tabs on the top, I used Artiste and put two small circles in the middle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Important... DO NOT weld them together, just group them together.</div>

Happy Friday!<br />
<br />
I actually dusted off my Imagine...and it WAS dusty! to make this not so quick baby card.<br />
<br />
It was pretty easy to get the cute giraffe and trees printed and cut, but it had to calibrate the cut and ink and that took some time. It still isn't right so I used my scissors to get the unwanted white border cut off. Then I inked the edges to cover up any of the places that weren't quite right. I used lots of pop dots to attach the layers and give it lots of dimension. The stamp is from Stampin Up as are the punches I used.<br />
<br />
I really wanted to do this card using the Cricut Craft Room. I even got my cartridge linked and put all the images on the mat. I hooked up the Imagine to my computer and hit cut. It prepared to print, sent them to the Imagine and said to follow the instructions on the Imagines screen. That's when I got a little peeved... the Imagine lost the connection to my computer. I tried three times before I gave up and did it the old fashioned way, and wasted a third of a sheet of paper. So I guess tomorrow I will be searching message boards for a solution, if one exists.<br />

<br />
I have to say , I have never been a scrapbooker... I am a cardmaker/papercrafter. But this new cartridge - Close To My Heart Artbooking - Z1906 may change that! It makes the whole process so easy I can do it!<br />
<br />
Here is my very first Mini Album, found on pages 52 - 53 of the handbook. All of the various embellishments are from this cartridge and the stamp sets that come with the bundle. I cut everything out at the size shown in the book and it went together great!<br />

I wanted to use this pretty flourish stamp from Close To My Heart but didn't have an acrylic block big enough. I had seen, somewhere in my web land travels, a suggestion to use a Cuttlebug embossing plate... well, it worked!<br />

Here are a few of my trial and errors:<br />

The one on the left, that is similar to my final project, shows how I stamped the sentiment on the wrong end...<br />

<br />
Today I am sharing the first scrapbook layouts I have done using the new Close To My Heart Cricut Artbooking cartridge, that will be available to purchase on August 1st!! Now, I am a card maker not a scrapbooker, but this cartridge makes it so easy to put a layout together that even I found it fun.<br />
<br />
It took me about 3 hours from start to finish to pull this layout together and that included picking the papers, which is always my BIGGEST hurdle.<br />
<br />

Good Morning,<br />
<br />
Today I have a fun, easy summer wreath that I made using my Cricut Expression, Art Philosophy, Artiste and Flower Shoppe.<br />
<br />
Over the coarse of a few weeks, it shouldn't have taken that long, I made about 50 flowers from the 3 Cricut cartridges above from lots of different papers in my stash. I inked the edges of most of them, assembled using hot glue.<br />
<br />
I purchased a green wreath form from Walmart and again using my hot glue gun, attached the flowers to the form.I only put them on the front half of the form so it would lay flat against the door. The ribbon I used to hang it was from a roll of chiffon type that I got from The Christmas Tree Shop. After I attached the flowers I decided it need something else so I cut out leaves using Artiste and stamping them with the Close To My Heart June Stamp of the Month - S1306. I put them in randomly between the flowers to hide any gaps.<br />
<br />

This last card is a happy coincidence :). After I cut the frames for the ovals, I turned the paper over and just loved the negative space left over. I trimmed it down to fit the A2 card base, used a Sakura Souffle Gray pen to do the stitching, Stamped the sentiment CTMH Card Chatter - Birthday - D1475 in slate, added the flower, button and twine from my stash and was done. A simple card, but I love it ! I will be watching for more of this negative space stuff !</div>

<br />
The Card Holder is made from the CTMH Cricut Artiste cartridge, cut at 6 inches. The papers are from the Dream Pop promotion pack that unfortunately is no longer available.<br />

I made another mistake while figuring the dimensions for the base. I wanted it to be 1.5 inches tall, but instead of adding 3 inches to the lenght and width I only added 1.5 inches so when I scored at 1.5 inches on each side I realized I had done THAT wrong ( you can see the extra score lines ) But I fixed it and scored again at 3/4" on all sides, clipped up to the score line as shown and glued the flaps on the inside.</div>

The three folders fit very nicely inside the base and the measuring mistake turned out to be for the beast as the circle labels wouldn't have worked if the base was any taller.<br />
<br />
The labels are cut from Art Philosophy at 1 1/4 inch and stamped in Slate - Z2173, and Lagoon - Z2195 using the Perfect Fit - Birthday B1417 and a set that I think came in my new consultant kit.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I will start showing the cards that go in this cheerful card holder. Please let me know if you have any questions on how this was put together,<br />
<br />

The mistake of using the wrong type of adhesive on a project. After I cut this very cute <b>Card Holder</b> from the <b>Cricut Artiste</b> cartridge, found on page 47, I used a white glue to put it together instead of my ATG dispenser or any other type of two sided tape. As you can see from the photos, the white glue caused my very cute folder to warp dreadfully. The paper is Close To My Heart Chantilly - X7163B ( it will be available in the new Autumn/Winter Idea book also! ) the stamp set is Crafted with Love - B1399 and the tag is cut from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.<br />
