October STOM: Holiday Magic

These two cards are my October STOM Swaps (S1110 Holiday Magic)

This 4 3/4 x 3 card is using "Center Accent" from Originals.  The technique on this card is the use of CTMH's Glitz Glitter Gel in Silver, Bronze, and Red.  I love how the Glitz Glitter makes my cards POP!

This 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card is using "Lucky Three" from Originals.  Again, I used the Glitz glitter Gel in Silver to add ornaments to my Christmas Tree.  I also love how the chunky Sweet Leaf Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon adds dimension to my card.

October 3-Card Workshop

 We will create 3 Halloween Themed cards for October's 3-Card Workshop.

This 3 x 6 card is using the Diamond stamped image pattern from All Hallows Eve.  This was a "free form" pattern and can be found on page 74 in the Fall / Winter 2011 CTMH Catalog.  The card used in the catty is what inspired this card.  The All Hallows Eve is a cricut-friendly stamp image.  The image is cut at 1 1/4 and the Barn Red matte is cut at 1 1/2.  I also used the Glitz Glitter: Silver to add a little sparked in between the Diamonds.

******************************

This 4 3/4 x 3 card is using "Noteworthy" in Wishes.  Again, I created a random stamped image using the Diamond stamp.

******************************

This 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card is using "Done Right" in Wishes.

Halloween Treat Boxes

Penny Pluss Hosted our September CTMH Unit Meeting.  She found a ghost treat box on the CTMH Bulletin Boards.  Everything was cut using the CTMH Exclusive Cricut Art Philosophy.  Of course, I had to add my own twist to the project.  Instead of the ghost having a round face, I wanted my ghost to look a little more ghostly.... so I used the cupcake Critut image to create my ghost.  I cut the cupcake at 5 inches and then cut 1 1/2 inches from the bottom so all that remained was a little bit to use to attach the top hat.  Each hat was decorated a little different.

September SOTM: Limited Edition

These cards are my September SOTM Swap (S1109 Limited Edition)

This little 3x3 card is using the "Stage Right" template from Originals.  I absolutely LOVE using CTMH's 2" Scallop Circle Punch to create layered flowers.  The edges are ink distressed and then crumple each flower before layering.

This 4 3/4 x 3 card is using "Right Spotlight" from Originals.  On this card I used the masking technique to stamp the "note paper" image inside of the tag.
