A Chocolate Affairs meets up with Dream Pop

 Hello my faithful blogger friends.  Today, I have a well over due post to share.  I used CTMH August Stamp of the Month ~ A Chocolate Affair stamp set along with CTMH Dream Pop paper to create this adorable set of cards.  FYI You only have a few days left to be able to receive the August Stamp of the Month FREE with a $50 CTMH purchase.  FREE!!

Using my Cricut Artiste cartridge, I created a cutie pa-tootie card holder.  Then I couldn't settle for just one, I had to make two.  One to keep and one to give away.

 Aren't they gorgeous!  That bit of glitter paper really adds a lot to the cards and holder.

To add a lot of dimension, I added Liquid Glass to some of the chocolates.

 Here's a close up of the chocolate covered strawberry.  I paper pieced it and also paper pieced the sundae below.   yum yum!

Thanks for bearing with me while I have been among the missing.  Let me know if you can't live without getting the stamp set for $0!  The offer ends August 31st.
See you again soon!!

Close to my Heart Cricut Artbooking Pre-Order Free Shipping plus Free August Stamp of the Month

Hello in case in case you may have missed the hub-bub, CTMH did it again!!!  They came out with a new cartridge with over 700 images, 3 stamp sets and 3 sets of dimensional images!!  The focus of this cartridge is 'Art-booking'.  If you've noticed lately, scrapbook pages and cards are changing.  There are now lots of arrows, shapes and 12x12 templates-- like a background full of sun rays or circles. Until this cartridge, you have to buy an expensive Cameo Silhouette in order to cut these trendy shapes or buy numerous dies. Well, thanks to CTMH, there is now a more cost effective option-- the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge!

If you love making mini-books, then this cartridge offers many options in sizes and shapes!  It even includes a number of templates for books-- travel, snapshot, baby, summer, kids, etc. 

In terms of card-making, this cartridge has those trendy 'polaroid' shapes, arrows, and background templates-- tree bark, hound's-tooth, sun rays, circles, etc.  It also has many shapes for card-making, including ones that can be used with the coordinating CTMH stamps.

For scrapbooking, there are a number of sample pages to cut out.  They cover every occasion-- Christmas, snow, birthday, school, beach, travel, etc. 

Sad news is that it won't be available until August 1st. But wait!  Pre-order your Artbooking Cricut Bundle from me and I will include the August Stamp of the Month, A Chocolate Affair, for Free!  The stamp set is a $17.95 value!  And if that's not enough to convince you, how about FREE SHIPPING! :-)
Does that sound like an info-mercial or what! Seriously,  I can not wait to get this cartridge!!
There are 15 layout themes, you can create several coordinating pages for each theme using just two keys.  Images include accents, borders, titles, overlays, photo mats....I could go on..
I have loved both the Art Philosophy and Artiste Cricut Cartridges and I know that I will be lovin' this new Cartridge just as much, if not more!!  I will offer FREE SHIPPINGg on your entire order if it includes the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge for the month of July and August.  (Tax not included)  However, the cartridge will not ship out until August 1st. 
ok, I'm getting of my platform now :-)
Enjoy your day!
Michelle
