Close To My Heart Artiste Coffin!

I love doing seasonal projects and things for the holidays.  I made this spooky, cute coffin from the Artiste cartridge today to give to some children. I lined the boxes with some white netting and will fill them with candy.  This was so easy because the cartridge cuts it the size you want or the one suggested and the Artiste cartridge comes with an assembly booklet that shows how to put your project together.  For me that is great because I am such a hands-on person!

 

 

 

Do not forget to check out my Cricut Mini give-away.  Scroll down this page to find out how you can be put in the drawing for this great machine.
Thanks for looking.  BOOOOOOO

I got the new Clementine Workshop on the Go yesterday!! I love the paper, the stamp set and the embellishments that come with the set.  Today I did one of the layouts and decided to make a video showing this very nice kit and how to use it.  All the kits can be used in many ways.  They make 2 sets of 2 page layouts and have extra product for making cards or some of the really cute 3-d objects.

Paper Playtime Challenge 82

Here is a very quick accordian fold card I created for the Paper Playtime Challenge #82 which was to use polkadots and sentiments. This was so much fun to create.
Thanks for looking and please visit my blogspot to see details of a nice Cricut Mini giveaway for those who order Close To My Heart products from me. 

 Here are directions to create the accordian fold card:
Card base: 5 1/2 x 11
Score at 1 1/2, 3, 5 1/2, and 8
Make the folds and then decorate!!  I used some Close to My Heart Dotty paper for the flaps.  They were cut at 5 1/4 x 1 1/4, 5 1/4 x 2 1/4 and 5 1/4 x 2 3/4.  My shape was created using the new Artiste cartridge and I altered the shape on page 34 in the Cricut Craft Room to a shape size of 2.25 x 4.00.
I used stamps from CTMH sets:
Live out Loud ( S1207)
It's Your Day (CC1020) which is a double set and available through September for only $5.00 with a $35.00 purchase of CTMH products!

Cricut Mini Give-away Update!!

Hi folks,

That makes those 20/1 odds very flexible for all of you!

I love "Lucy" paper!

I love the Close to My Heart Lucy paper and made a card today that I call a Scripture Card.
I used the Lucy paper and a sentiment from CardZ TV stamp set "Greater Love".  I will be sending this card to my Mom who keeps my cards on a board in her room.  She tells me that everyone loves looking at all her cards from me.  That warms my heart.

Thank you for looking, and please visit my CTMH website to browse for great crafting supplies.  Easy-peasy to order from there and IF you purchase on of the cartridges, Art Philosophy or Artiste, you will be entered in my great Cricut Mini give-away!

IT's HERE! My Give-away, that is!

Hi y'all!  I am so excited to announce my give-away, so here goes.  I have a brand new Cricut Mini as a give-away.  I live in a very tiny town in southern TN so I have decided that a goal for me is to enhance my Close to My Heart on-line sales.  This is the plan for my giveaway:
When I have 20 sales for the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge or the new Artiste Cricut Cartridge, I will have a drawing of those who have ordered from me.  Someone will WIN!  Those are good odds, right, 1/20 chances for a great Cricut Mini.
I have a video that I will post, so I invite you to view it, create an on-line account and do some shopping!  I will post on my blog frequently the number of sales so that you can know also!!
Don't forget that these cartridges make great gifts (hint,hint), never too early to knock off some Christmas gifts for crafty friends and family!
                                                     My Close to My Heart website is:
                                                        www.judyashmore.ctmh.com
Easy-peasy to order there.

Thanks so much.
