I was not a Cricut fan. I have a Silhouette and I LOVE it! But, Close to My Heart came out with a Cricut cartridge that will be available August 1st to everyone - so, I HAD to get one. I still LOVE my Silhouette!! You can cut any font!! - you cannot do that with the Cricut AND I have 11,000+ or - a few different patterns for my Silhouette... so, it will take A LOT for this new machine to take that away.... but, this is fun and SOOOOO easy. I just got my new Expression machine (off E-bay - where I did not pay full retail price! Yeah!) and I have the new Art Philosophy Cartridge from CTMH so I am playing today... so far I have figured out how to cut out a card... it is on the pic with the cartridge box and the new machine. I do like the ability to cut 12" X 24" that is nice, but not sure I will use it all that often - can see a few times - like for neat borders and edges, but... </span><br />

To make this I cut a large and two small 6-leafed flowers with my Silhouette - you could hand cut these - then I inked around the outside with the Smokey Plum ink. To make the centers I cut a 1" X 10" strip and 2 - 3/4" by 9" strips. I ran a small line of the Towbow adhesive down the inside of one of the 10" or 9" sides and then looped the other side over to adhere it - note I did not bone fold it, but just attached them together which made it a small loop. The holding the glued side I cut 1/8" strips in it being careful not to cut it through. Beginning at one end I rolled it together (like quilling) using the Bonding Memories Glue Pen to adhere it... leaving the loopy, cut end at the top... glue at the bottom. After I had rolled each of these I used Liquid Glass to adhere it to the 6-leafed flower. When this dried I spread the looped ends out. I then cut the leaves with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch out of the Ponderosa Pine Card Stock... to do this I punched the circle first then reinserted 1/2 of the circle into the punch 2 times which leaves an hourglass looking piece left over.... and 2 leaves from each 1/2 of the original circle. I cut out a piece of the Smokey Plum Card Stock 1/4 inch smaller than the base card (4 X 5 1/4) and adhered it to the basecard for the Birthday card and cut out a 4 X 4 piece for the Sympathy card. I then ran a piece of white card stock through the texturizer and cut it out 3 3/4" X 5 for the Birthday card and 3 3/4" X 3 3/4" for the Sympathy Card and attached them to the Smokey Plum. I stamped the images on the bottom of the cards using the Smokey Plum Ink and stamped a sentiment in the inside of each. Using the Liquid Glass I attached the flowers and the leaves. I am sure these directions are as clear as mud... if you have questions </span><a href="mailto:iteachkinder@charter.net"><span style="font-size: large;">e-mail me</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />

To make this card I cut out a 2" X 3 1/4" piece of the Magnifique striped paper and a 3 1/4" X 3 3/4"piece of the Pacificia Card Stock paper and attached it to the colonial white base so the card opens from the bottom. I then attached the Kraft Color Ready Border as is - no new color added. I cut out 1 large 2 1/2" 8-leafed flower, 3- 1 3/4" medium 8-leafed flowers, 2 - 1" small 8 leafed flowers, 1- 3/4" 5 leafed flower and 2- 1/2" 5 -leafed flowers with my Silhouette from each of the Lagoon colored pattern paper and the brown colored pattern paper... you could cut these by hand. I then cut 1/8" strips in all of the 8 leafed flowers petals. I attached the flowers together alternating patterns ( 3 flowers per flower - 2 of the 8 leafed and 1 of the five leafed) with the 5 leafed flower going beneath the brad on each flower. I used the Lagoon card stock to make the leaves. I attached the flowers using the Liquid Glass. Once again this is as clear as mud... so, </span><a href="mailto:iteachkinder@charter.net"><span style="font-size: large;">e-mail me</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> for further instructions as you need them.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNdgHV-YvM9F3os20TpEqj6wJrElzYwKjn_w3rRurP7s2Zh4rzcntkd4rStvtxS2aVE3Q_0SoCepty9vUvW3sDR5TmCaNGkw-nyHE2rso0RJImEpnZa3yoF6ChI5zEMsH9rYWiVi7c0fU/s1600/black.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNdgHV-YvM9F3os20TpEqj6wJrElzYwKjn_w3rRurP7s2Zh4rzcntkd4rStvtxS2aVE3Q_0SoCepty9vUvW3sDR5TmCaNGkw-nyHE2rso0RJImEpnZa3yoF6ChI5zEMsH9rYWiVi7c0fU/s320/black.JPG" width="259" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The good news is this is made exactly the same as the blue ones except I used different colors... and used the </span><a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=103"><span style="font-size: large;">Card Chatters Sympathy</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> stamp set.

We took a tour of a few places at Hilo, Hawaii - the big island - volcano side... these were from a garden... Lili'uokalani Gardens which were dedicated in 1917 to the memory of Queen Lili'uokalani... it was/is breath-taking...even in the rain! For this I used CTMH paper - Unfortgetable and the flowers are stamps made with <a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=4404&CatalogID=116">C1340Aspiration Stamp</a> set and Exclusive Inks - <a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=36">Blush and Sorbet</a> - then I knew it needed a little bling so today I ran to Archivers and got the glitzy square stickers- Crystal Stickers Mosaic.<br />
<br />
Okay more to come when I get them completed!!! Have some pictures already printed just not scrapped yet!!<br />

the one on the left is from November and Jessica's 24th birthday. The one on the right is pictures from my Daylillies... I just love these bright sunny flowers!<br />
I am going to try and get pictures taken of all of my Hawaii layouts I have completed so far AND a couple I did right before we left - one that uses <a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=5303&CatalogID=35">flip flaps</a> - I am telling you - these are a cool way to add a large number of pictures to one layout page!!

This month I did not participate in the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop, because of time constraints... packing and repacking and repacking again (still packed WAY too much!!) and traveling to Hawaii took a toll on my free time this month!

I will be using many products, not just Close to My Heart products to complete my Hawaii album!!)

I am enjoying scrapping that way but like traditional better.... but, that is just me. So this month's stamps are totally awesome for Valentines day - they are great!!! But, I had the chance to use them early and a few of you might recognize them as Wedding cards I made - which they were great for as well!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">For all of the cards I used a 4.25 X 6.25" </span><a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=73"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Daisy White cardstock</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> base card. (When I cut these out, I cut out many, so I have them available to make a quick card any time.) I cut 1" off of one of the 4.25 sides using my </span><a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=169"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Euro Personal Paper Trimmer </span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">to make it 3.25".

(For the black I used the </span><a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=165"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Watercolor Pencils</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> so my black would be a bit softer.) For the Santa and the Tree I used my Micro-Tip Scissors to trim around the edges of the stamped image</span>.</span><br />

Card 1 - Snowman - (This is my personal favorite!)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make this I cut the wave lined paper 3" X 5.78" and attached it to the short part of the front with my </span><a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=166"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TomBow Adhesive</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. I then cut the red dotted piece 2" X 5.78" and attached it to the long part of the front. After coloring in the snowman image I cut the surrounding paper 2" X 2 1/2"and attached it to a piece of Juniper Cardstock which I had stamped randomly with the star/snowflake stamp using</span><a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=36"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Daisy White Ink</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and a </span><a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=95"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1" X 1" Acrylix Bock</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.

I used the juniper cardstock, cut to 3" X 5.78", and randomly stamped the star/snowflake image in </span><a href="https://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=36"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Daisy White Ink</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.

I cut a piece of the ornament paper 2.5" X 4.5" and trimmed the bottom of the ornaments out. I attached this to a piece of 2.75" X 3.75" Tulip cardstock matching the top edges and allowing the bottoms of the ornaments to hang over the end of the Tulip paper. I cut a piece of the stripe paper 1.6" X 7.5" and attached it to a piece of 2" X 7.5" Tulip cardstock. I cut this in two with one piece being 3.1" long and the other the remainer and trimmed both to match the two card fronts. (I hope you are understanding this - if not e-mail me and I will try to explain it better :)) I attached the already prepared Santa to the front of the ornament piece and then attached this piece over the stripe paper and Juniper cardstock leaving 1/2" overhang.

I cut out packages from the package paper making it approximately 4.5" X 4" and attaching it to the juniper star/snowfake paper front.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">How To: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card of Smokey Plum with a fold at the side as my base. Using Smokey Plum ink and a wedge from the sponge I distressed the edges of the card base. (Okay, I got a great idea ... thanks Tresa Black.... use a paper binder clip to hold your sponge and you will not get ink all over your hands :) - gotta love it!! Questions contact me and I will send a picture of all of mine.) I cut out and randomly stamped the heart from "Thriller" with Holiday Read and Smokey Plum on the Desert Sand Card Stock and distressed the edges with Smokey Plum. I used the Versa Mark and 2 of the stamps from "Thriller" stamp set to stamp the black background piece, I covered it with the black embossing powder over the craft tray - tapped the excess embossing powder off. I then used the craft heater to emboss the background. Then I stamped the same skull stamp from the "Thriller" set on Smokey Plum paper, used the black embossing powder over the craft tray, tapped off the excess and returned the leftover embossing powder to the jar. I then embossed the skull and cut it out of the plum paper. I used the Holiday Red and stamped the skull on Desert Sand paper cutting out only the heart. I placed the Bitty Brads on the corners of the Desert Sand paper with the random hearts and attached it to the Smokey Plum base using the TomBow. Then I placed the bitty brads in the Black embossed paper and attached it using the TomBow. Using small pieces from the foam tape I attached the Smokey Plum skull and the Holiday Red stamped heart. Tada!! Finished in less than 15 minutes!!! Great card to send to my niece and nephew :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now hop on over to <a href="http://mestamp2.blogspot.com/2010/08/september-stamp-of-month-blog-hop.html">Mary Eisen's Blog</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The <a href="http://kathylickenbrock.myctmh.com/">Triple Play Kit </a>is only available until September 30th!!! I LOVE these new stamps and I am extremely excited about the mini stamp pads in Hollyhock, Sunset, Desert Sand and Indian Corn Blue - these are REALLY handy to have around. I am not a big mini-album person so I made one into a mini-album that I will give to a friend after the campagin and made the other two mini-album kits into 6-card kits which I will be giving to my first two bookings this month!!! Here is my take on this really fun kit!! <br />

I wanted to show that you do not have to be there to scrap things. The pictures from the oil spill are ones that were sent to me from the beach by our condo ... thankfully, the oil has moved away and this is not the way the beach looks now :) But, it still makes me sick. I did the title with black paint and blew it down with my craft heater (2555). The red stamps are Extreme Caps (D1250) and Delightful Alphabet (D1221) the ink is Holiday Red (Z2127). The papers are CTMH card stock - Black (1386), Holiday Red (1274) and White (1385). I distressed the edges using the edge distresser from CTMH (Z1297). The ticket is my first speeding warning ticket. The alphabet stamp is one from Felicity a special kit that was available a few months ago from CTMH (I still have one if you are interested :)) and the paper is some old left over stuff I had from Artic Frog - positive it is no longer available as it says it was from 2005. The last one is the Toby Keith concert... the title is actually a flyer they handed out at the end of the concert which advertises the Ford F series... the pattern papers and sticker journaling are from SEI and the card stock is Burning Ember... still doing more... :)Kathy Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16540301616923353761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561384822355170469.post-79807123624126121902010-07-17T15:40:00.000-05:002010-07-17T15:40:26.803-05:00link to my Close to My Heart Web siteI do not know why but my links on the side bar are not working correctly... except for the Studio J one???
