October Stamp of the Month

It's hard to believe it is mid-October. Here, our weather is still very warm and sunny. It was 80 degrees yesterday while we wandered through the pumpkin patch picking out pumpkins.

It makes it hard to get in the mood to create holiday items, but the October Stamp of the Month can help. It is called Twinkle, and it's a very fun and festive set. Perfect for getting started on the Christmas projects. Plus, the images below that are outlined in red, correspond to a cut on the new Cricut Artistry Cartridge. The set has the page in the booklet and the dial size to cut the image, so that it fits the stamped image. What could be easier?

I just started playing with this set and created this using some leftover pieces from the discontinued Yuletide Collection. I loved the textured look it gave in the background.

I used the Artistry Cricut Cartridge to cut the Red Shimmer Paper and White Daisy Cardstock into the shape to fit the stamped border. So Simple!

The stamp set is so fun to use and when used with the Artistry Cricut Cartidge, it is a snap to cut coordinating shapes out. This set is only $5 USD with any $50 USD purchase, or $17.95 USD on it's own. You can get this set HERE, and shop for all your Christmas Card making supplies at the same time.

I can't wait to spend some more time with this stamp set and try it with the new White Pines Collection. I would love to see what you create with the fun stamp set.

Halloween Goodies

I love this time of year, and I always enjoy playing with Halloween themes. This year, Close To My Heart went above and beyond my expectations with the Nevermore Paper Collection and Embellishments. I know I have showed these to you before but I really love them.

Here is a quick card I made using this Collection. You can see the directions and products used here.

I can hardly wait to play with this collection and use the new Steampunk Scoundrels Stamp Set. I think this is my favorite new stamp set.

Check back next week, I will be posting some projects for Halloween using the new Artistry Cricut Collection.
