3-D Heart Gift Bag

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's day and I have a final project to share that can also be used for other occasions.  This is a 3-D Heart bag made with the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge! 

You can find this cute bag on page 26 using the Font Layer feature. It is cut out at 6" from cardstock, and stamped with one of the Cricut Art Philosophy stamp sets. The tag (Shape 1) is from the same page and cut at 1 1/2" and 1 1/4".

I embellished the bag with some pink ribbons and buttons.

Happy Crafting!

H2H Challenge: Love Is in the Air

I am excited to be the February guest designer over at the H2H Challenge blog, and today I'm sharing my project for this week's challenge: Love Is in the Air. Since Valentine's Day is just a few days away, this was a great time to make a card for my wonderful hubby!

I've been obsessed over the adorable new Mini Clothes Pins from CTMH and couldn't wait to find a way to use them in a project! 

I'm also trying out the trendy 'Polaroid' style that I've seen all over Pinterest.  I put a scrap piece of White Daisy Cardstock into my Cricut and cut a 3 1/4" square from Artiste, page 48.

Then I trimmed around the negative space to make the Polaroid shape. So easy!

Next, I cut the heart shapes from Artiste, page 71, at 1 1/4" and 1".

Here are all the pieces I used to put the card together.

I covered the heart layer with some Chantilly Textile by adhering it to the backside of the fabric and then cutting around it with my super sharp CTMH Micro-Tip Scissors.

I added some Pink Sparkles, and then layered it onto the base piece.

Next, I used my CTMH Piercing Tool  to poke holes in the Polaroid shape for my Red Brads (on sale now for only $1.50!) and strung my Baker's Twine to hang across the opening, and stamped my sentiment on the bottom. I then adhered 3-D Foam Tape around the back of this piece.

Once I layered all the pieces together, I just had to clip my little fabric heart to the twine with the clothes pin and it's done!

I hope you'll play along with the H2H Challenge this week!

Happy Crafting!

Valentine Peppermint Patties

Hello! Rachel here again with some Valentine Peppermint Patties to share with you!

Here is what I used to make them with the Cricut Artiste cartridge. Make sure to cut these out using the Real Dial Size button, or the topper shape and hearts will be too small!

 I stamped the embellishments using the adorable stamp set from the Whooo's Your Valentine special kit which is only available for a few more days until Jan. 31. You can get yours today for only $10 with a purchase of $35 HERE. Hurry, there are only 11% left in inventory!

I also added some shine to match the candy wrapper with the NEW silver glitter paper included in the kit (love this glitter paper)! Plus, I added my favorite Bitty Sparkles. Since these are so "blingy", I decided to enter it into the H2H All that Glitters Challenge.

The topper was stapled at the top to close the package, then layered and embellished.

Happy Crafting!
