Minnie and Ellery

This post doesn’t feature much new stuff- the glitter paper, thistle cardstock and a little bit of seaside paper are all that is current- but it does feature the sweetest little girl and her love for Minnie Mouse! The paper was a past special- Dotty for you.  The dots were perfect for a layout all about Minnie. I used the one non-CTMH cartridge I own (I think it is called Mickey and friends) and made Minnie Mouse heads with cute glitter bows!

I mixed it all up to tell the story of my sweet girl and her love of Minnie- I cannot count how many times she has gone to school all dressed up like Minnie Mouse. I love it (even if I seem slightly embarrassed at the time).  I love how she has no idea that most people don’t wear costumes out- she wears it with pride and a big smile!

This year she will also get to meet Minnie Mouse thanks to Close to my Heart- I cannot wait for this moment! I know it will be very special and one that she carries with her for a long time!

Embossing Folders

Yesterday I introduced you to the new embossing folders that CTMH has recently produced! Today I want to share some art with you using the embossing technique at its purest- just plain embossing.  I LOVE the look and the FEEL that embossing can give to a project.  In these cards I did the same thing for each- I placed the front of my card in the embossing folder (about 3/4 of the card front in the folder).  Once I placed the folder through the machine it came out with such a beautiful texture – this pattern is our ‘quatrefoil’- my FAV of all of them!

I then added a small strip of paper and a bow cut on the Cricut Artiste to finish of my card.  So simple and yet so pretty! So much so that I had to try it a bunch more times and with glitter paper- these are my new fav cards!!!

Tomorrow be sure to come back to see the sanding technique with embossing!

Spring/Summer CTMH Idea Book Reveal: Day 2

Welcome back! Day 2 of the CTMH Idea book reveal features a cute card with a oh-so-popular hot air balloon!  I am seeing these EVERYWHERE in fashion, home decor and of course papercrafts!

My card is a basic 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 card on lagoon card stock.  I used the CTMH Artiste cartridge to cut out my clouds.  The hot air balloon was hand cut (it turned out so well I didn’t mind at all) and paper pieced together.  I used some of our glitter paper to add some bling to the balloon and then also added a bit to the bottom of the card under the sentiment.
