As I finished updating the information for May on this website, I knew I had not posted any blogs for a while. I did not know I had not posted for a whole month! Oops.
Unforeseen circumstances aside, I will do better this month.
For today, I will share this video CTMH put together showing how to make a beautiful wall hanging using their Flower Market Cartridge.
I wouldn’t have thought of doing this, but I can see endless possibilities.
Happy Crafting!
Hi,
After much consideration and planning, I jumped in with both feet and have started Facebook Live Video Workshop. Currently I am doing them once a week on Friday Mornings and I hope I’m making improvements each week. This video has both the scrapbook & Card workshop cuts at the beginning of the video, then assembly is after. If you just want cards, skip to about minute 30 and that’s where I start the card set cuts walk through. Here are the links to the Cutting Guides:
Here is some of the artwork created with this video.
In the above cards, I tried both the slate & the pacifica inks for the car/watch, and I prefer the pacifica blue. Which do you like?
I also made some cards with scraps from the layout. I will post those soon!
Happy Crafting!

Filling in Negative Space speaks to my inner frugal child. I know that I have enough craft supplies, paper and embellishments, but there is just something so satisfying in using a scrap of paper that I cut another image out of and use it and create something cool!
Speaking of frugal, what is more frugal than using all the ink on a stamp while creating some depth in your project? My head tells me that I save not only ink, but the cleaner too. Yes, I think these things!

Now you can make them yourself! So much fun and a big WOW moment
I would love to see you version!
Happy Crafting.
Yes, I have joined the pop and twist card fan club. We did this at our Fall Craft Weekend and everyone loved it! Here are the instructions I gave out at the retreat.

And now, here are my samples! The first one I am going to show you is the very first pop up & twist card that I ever did. I was using older papers from a bag under my craft table as I didn’t think it was going to see the light of day. (Typically I learn something when I do fancy folding cards and end up scraping the first one or two.) Not this one, and I LOVE how it turned out. I just put it in the mail today for a friend. After I had successfully mastered the card, and I was finding (creating) things to decorate it, I knew who it would be going to as soon as I had used it as a sample for people to look at!
The flowers are all done with the new Flower Market Cartridge. (Loving it!) Hint, I needed to add an extra 23 cents when I mailed it.
This next sample is more a result of me playing with the new cricut explore and the cool layers in our images on our cartridges. I have a feeling this will be going to a 2nd grade teacher soon!
The papers are fundamental papers and everything else is cricut cuts!
Happy Crafting!
