If you haven't seen the October Stamp of the Month, yet, here it is!
I always love the October Stamp of the Month, because it's always a Christmas stamp set. My first thought was to make this card, which I patterned after a card made by my team member, Cassie.
The bow is a shape cut from the Cricut Artiste cartridge (LOVE it!). I put a Designer Rhinestone Brad through the center of the "ribbon." The tag is from the Stamp of the Month, and also is a Cricut shape. Each cartridge has 700 different shapes, and 698 of them are unique to this cartridge -- no duplications (except the circle and something else) with the original CTMH cartridge, Art Philosophy!
We'll be making a similar card to this at my upcoming Christmas Card Workshop - next weekend, Saturday, October 6 (11am) and Sunday, October 7 (2pm). 18 cards - 3 different card styles, 6 of each style. It's SO fun, and great to get a head start on the holidays!
Supplies Used:
Card Stock: Cranberry, Colonial White, Smoothie
Patterned paper from the Pear & Partridge paper pack
Cricut Artiste Cartridge (Z1790, $99)
Designer Brads - Rhinestone (Z1360, $5.95)
New England Ivy Ink
Sponge Dauber
Cranberry Ink
The second fun thing I made with this stamp set is a Christmas ornament. I cut a bunch out, stamped, I scored with my Martha Stewart scoring board (love this, also). Then I stuck them together. I got this idea from my team member, Lindsey, who did the same technique with a pumpkin cut out last year.
Actually, I ended up using 8 ornaments |
