Easter Cards

Hello everyone! Java Jen here from JAVA JEN CREATIONS!  Today I am a guest designer here and over at CRICUT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART! It's always so much fun to share with lots of fellow crafters! Thank you, Sheila, for another opportunity!  Since Easter is quickly approaching,  I decided it was the perfect time to make some cards.  The Cricut cartridges I used: Close to My Heart Artiste and Easter Blessings (the CCR digital cartridge).  The cards are from Artiste and the images and phrases are from Easter Blessings.  Simple to create and embellish, I think they have great "curb appeal"! :-)

I love how the front of the card tucks in the slot.

Love this phrase and shadow!

This tag and pocket could be used for so many occasions!

All put together.

I'm showing this pic to show the shape of the card. I think this card is my favorite!

Thanks for stopping by today!

If you don't have a CTMH consultant, feel free to visit my website, HERE, to view and/or purchase any CTMH products including our two Cricut cartridges! 

Have a blessed Easter!!

Santa Gift Card Holder

Hi Crafty Friends :)

Today I get to share my project with you here and at Adele's Creation's

Here is my project, a cute little gift card holder

For this card holder I used Teddy Bear Parade Cart, sizing the bear and accessories @ 3.236  relative.

Also, I used CTMH Artiste for the card holder base, sized @ 5.25 

If using single sided card like I did just cut this twice.

The sentiment on the back is one of my own stash elements I created on my other cutter :)

The inside is left blank at the moment as I'm not sure who is getting this one !!

This was really simple and quick to create & put together 

I have the cut files for both CCR & Gypsy if you would like them

Well that's it my friends, don't forget to stop by on the 15th for the Holiday Blog Hop at The BugBytes :)

Happy Crafting 

Hugs

It's Movie Night!

Happy Thursday, everyone! It's my turn to share with everyone here and over at CRICUT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART ! I enjoy the chance to share with so many people! Today I decided to use my new Artiste cartridge for my project! If you thought that Art Philosophy was amazing - just wait until you see Artiste! There is so much packed into this cartridge - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! If you don't already have a CTMH consultant, feel free to click HERE to go to my website to order either or both of the CTMH cartridges or any of the other awesome products that we have! Ok, commercial over, here is my completed project:

Here are the Artiste Cricut cuts and dimensions:

from pg. 67 - MOVIE NIGHT - 1.94"H

from pg. 67 - ticket with stub 1" H

from pg. 67 - film strip - stretched and rotated with my Gypsy to 8.82"W x 3.12"H

from pg. 77 - card front (yellow paper) 6.41"H

Now for some close-ups and more detail:

I started with a shelf from a paper cart that I had that broke. I have about 12 of these that I can use for various projects! I covered the shelf with paper from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop collection.

Partially completed. I think I picked a kind of busy background paper but it really looks better in person! The two cream-colored tickets and the pointing hand are stickers from the Thrift Shop collection, as well.

Just tied some twine around the corners for some added dimension

I attached this journal box with a temporary adhesive because I plan on laminating it before I permanently attach it. (I was out of laminating pouches when I went to put this together.) :-) That will allow us to write in and erase whenever we have a movie night!

I think it looks pretty cool hanging on my wall! I'm all ready for our next movie night!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a creatively wonderful day!
