Parisian Birthday

Hi everyone! Im catching up my last few months of projects! Enjoy!

In late November, I finally ordered the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge and had a chance to play with it for my sister-in-law's birthday. She loves all things Paris, and this design fit perfectly. 

I cut the card design from the retired "For Always" and combined it with Slate. On the Artfully Sent cartridge, I used the "sleeve" setting, then hand cut it to size for the card. 

For a little texture interest, I dry-embossed the slate layer using the new CTMH Damask embossing folder. Black cardstock is the background layer.

The tag is from the For Always My Stickease and I used a stamp from the Artfully Sent Bundle,  {Just to Say...}, with Slate ink.

A strip of glitter tape (For Always Workshop on the Go) and a couple of flower accents made it shine!

Inside I used a belated birthday sentiment from the Belated Birthday stamp set (which I find very useful).

I was pleased to create a completely CTMH card using a wide variety of products.

Fast and Furious Baby Shower

I've been absent from blogging again, so I'll be catching up on my projects today! 

I've been busy crafting but not blogging and I've missed y'all!

In September, before our friend's baby shower I was fast and furiously making cupcake decorations and invitations. The final invitation is here. 

I used Fast and Furious stamps and cut the gear using the Artiste cartridge.  It really is my favorite Cricut cartridge.

 

I was inspired by the gears to make cupcake decor. I cut some additional gears and used a non-CTMH stamp [TPC Studio,  Beautiful Baby Boy]. 

The stamp was on Outdoor Denim on Pear cardstock, but it looked so plain I punched some stars out of White Daisy and added them on top which really made them pop. 

I punched out the circles from Outdoor Denim in 2 sizes and then found the perfect use for my heretofore unused 2.5" Xyron. Running all the little pieces through to add adhesive helped streamline assembly so much! 

The finished cupcake display was so adorable! And the shower welcomed a new baby to our friend's family.
