Cascading Chantilly

 Hello my friends.  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Having a holiday on Monday sure seems to make the week go by quickly.  Can you believe it's almost June!!  In celebration of the upcoming month I've created this wonderful Cascading Card. Isn't it beautiful!?

All the panels are from the gorgeous Chantilly paper from Close to my Heart. I cut out the butterflies and flowers using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  Then they all got a good dose of flat back pearls.

The butterflies are all propped up using Craft Plastic but I'm sure you could use some of the hard plastic wrap that a lot of merchandise come packaged in.

I'm selling the kit to make this spectacular card for yourself or to share. I know that my card is going to be tough to part with. It looks so nice sitting on my shelf.
Enjoy your week,
Michelle

Tri-shutter Card

Goodness where has the time gone!  I store my pictures on my computer by the month that I created them.  Today I went to put this beauty of a card in the correct folder then realized I haven't even made a March folder.  good golly!
I am so behind!!
Alright, onto the card.  Isn't it gorgeous!?

The papers are all from the Chantilly collections from Close to my Heart.  Love.  The colors and design of this paper is so pretty.  The bird and dimensional flowers were cut on the Cricut using the Artiste cartridge.  Love.

If you are interested in creating your own tri-shutter fold card, here is a link to the directions. It looks hard but it's actually quite easy to create.  And so much fun to decorate.

Thanks for checking in on me.
Have a great day,
Michelle

Whooo loves you?

Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow, I thought it was high time that I post a Valentine's Day card.   Isn't that owl the cutest little guy?!  He or maybe a she is from the special set from Close to my Heart called Whooo's Your Valentine.

 The cut-out card was cut with the Cricut Artiste cartridge using paper from the Chantilly collection. Beautiful!! 
I teach a card class, once a month and this is one of the cards we made.  The ladies loved it!

Here's a close-up of the little owls.  I love those eyes!

Flowered Bracket Frame

 Happy weekend to my blog readers!  I hope you are able to relax before the new week begins. I sure am:-)
For today's post I am sharing a bracket frame that I have just completed.  Didn't it come out gorgeous!!
And those yummy flowers sure made it fun and easy to created.
All the products are from Close to my Heart, including the bow!  Yup, CTMH is now stocking fabric to match some of their gorgeous papers.

My process: Pink paper was cut using the Artiste cartridge then adheared to the bracket frame using Mod Podge. The flowers, also cut with the Artiste, were made using papers from the new Chantilly collection. Pearls were placed in the centers.  The leaves and flourishes were also cut from the Artiste.  Can you tell I love my Artiste! You can also see a couple of the coordinating badge buttons, the yellow background and bow all from the Chantilly line (available February 1st)
Now I need to decide what goes into this gorgeous frame.  I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for visiting,
Michelle
