More Card Creations with Black Tulle

I recently posted about my Five Fave Close to My Heart Embellishments, and Black Tulle Ribbon was number four.  If you missed it, HERE is my original post. As I was typing up that post and looking for pics, I realized that I had made several cards a while ago with it that I simply had not had a chance to post!  Here they are at long last!

I have really been wanting to play more with our gorgeous Monogram Stamps.  Here is one of the first cards I made with it.  The Black Tulle is wrapped around the card and gathered underneath the Monogram with a short piece of floss.  The cuts on all my cards were all made by my Cricut E2 with the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.  I apologize, but I did not take note of them at the time.

I used the medallion stamp in B1400 Beautiful Friendship for this one on the right.  Then I colored it in with my new Alcohol Ink Markers Hollyhock, Smoothie, and Creme Brulee.  The center is accented with a Sparkle, of course!  :)

For the following card, I used the negative cut of the first card!  I do my best not to waste any Cricut cuts, that is for sure!  :)

Finally, I pulled out the fabulous D1525 Casual Expressions.  I love the elegant feel of this one. 

I hope my cards have given you some useful inspiration for using the Close to My Heart Black Tulle Ribbon!  Happy crafting!  :)

Monogram Cards

I suppose an entire week is enough to make you wait for the big reveal after Sneak-Peak Saturday...I won't keep you hanging any longer.  This is one of my favorite new products from our recent Idea Book release--the Monogram stamps.  I ordered mine right away so I could play with it.  The colors in the Avonlea Paper Pack sure do speak to me, so I listened to them and made a few.

I used the following supplies to make these striking 4 x 4 notecards:

Avonlea Paper Pack
Kraft Cardstock
Monogram K
Shimmer Trim
Art Philosophy Cartridge

These products are ALL available now on my website for you to create your very own personalized notecards!


Also, with a new month comes a new Stamp of the Month!  For the entire month of August, you can purchase the Stamp of the Month for $17.95 OR you can get it for only $5 with a $50 product purchase!  This one is called Baroque Borders.  I can't wait to get mine so that I can create my Stamp of the Month Blog Hop project.  I will be participating in the blog hop on August 18th, so put it on your calendars and plan on popping by!
