For Always

Welcome to our February Art Philosophy/Artiste Blog Hop!   As you know, these cartridges are available exclusively through a Close to My Heart consultant.  If you don't already have a Consultant that you are currently working with, please contact one the Consultants in our hop with any questions you have!

Our theme this month features not only one of these amazing cartridges but also a brand NEW paper pack from Close to My Heart - "For Always".   In this hop, you will see projects featuring one (or both!) of our versatile Cricut cartridges with this paper pack from many talented crafty ladies!  Enjoy our blog hop!  

For my project, using Artiste Cricut cartridge, I cut out a label shape that coordinates back to Perfect Fit Frames.  This stamp set was from the last Idea Book.  The current Idea Book has another frame stamp set called Perfect Fit Frames 2.   Also, to stamp inside the 1.25" circle inside the frame, look throughout the current Idea Book for "Perfect Fit", these stamps will fit inside the center of the Perfect Fit Frame stamps.  Another great part of all the "Perfect Fit" stamps, the cuts coordinate to the Artiste Cricut cartridge.  So be sure to check out the current Idea Book for the "Perfect Fit" to provide you with many stamping options.

This is an entry I made for a color blog challenge from Color My Heart

Using the Cricut Artiste cartridge, I cut out the Milk Carton using Topiary Cardstock (Fit to Page).  Using Colonial White cardstock, I cut the roof at 3.25 by 6.25.  Using a wood grain embossing folder, I used New England Ivy pigment ink and inked the embossing folder before embossing.  I then selected hearts (standard and scalloped) from Artiste cartridge and sized to .50.  I colored hemp cord in New England Ivy and attached the Sweet Leaf stamped hearts to the hemp cord and added Artisan studs between each heart.  I attached the heart pendant with 2 mini clothes pins.    For the opening, I cut two oval shapes at 1.75" and 2".  Then I used hemp and glued around ovals.  I added a single heart with an Artisan stud.  I then used a swag wood decal for perch.  I cut a shape for the February Stamp of the Month (2.50 x 2.50).  I used gold embossing powder and heat embossed on pre-cut shape.
