TGIF! I hope you all have a fun Labor Day weekend planned! I still cannot believe it is September and it is so hot! My mother wants to do a BBQ, but I just want to stay in the AC! Just as well. I have lots of homework and crafting to do!
Speaking of crafting, I have been thinking about how best to serve you all as followers of my blog. I am lucky to have many loyal followers. All of which have many ideas on what they want to see. I have come up with an idea on how to accommodate most of you. I will still show projects made with all of those wonderful cartridges in my Cricut library, but a few days of the week I will do a tutorial of a project made using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. I know many of you own the cartridge and have asked that I keep the inspiration coming. Some of you have not been talking into it yet and might be tired of my going on and on about how much I love this cartridge. I think showing both various cartridges AND Art Philosophy projects just a few times a week, I can please most everyone.
Now on to my card. It was made a while back when I first got the cartridge. I was not overly happy with it and thought about never showing it. However, I have not had tons of time to make things lately. Therefore, I decided to give this little creation a day of sunshine.
It is made using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge, stamps, and coordinating chipboard that come with the bundle.
 |
| I used paper from the Mayberry line. |
 |
| I cut the tree out at 2 1/2" (I think..I can't find my notes on this card). I just love the scalloped border across the bottom! |
 |
| Then I cut out this great tag and adhered it to a coordinating piece of chipboard. |

Hi Melanie,
Funny how we can be so picky about the stuff we make. I love the card and the white signo pin detail around the edge and the buttons!! Glad you showed it.
Love your card!!! Great paper selection and cuts!
very adorable card! thanks as always for the inspiration
Beautiful Card. Love the colors. TFS
I love how you used the buttons on the tree! The card itself is quite pretty!
I like this card--the colors, the buttons on the tree, papers, etc. Thanks for much for doing project featuring the Art Philosophy cartridge. Got mine the other day and am beginning to use it. I can't believe all the wonderful items that can be created using this cartridge. Worth every penny of it. I got the bundle and am so happy with it.
Wonderful card and I love the tree with the buttons. What really caught my eye was the paper pack, good choice using Mayberry.
Love the card! Can you tell me what white pen you like the best for your "stitches"? I've had a few, but they seem to either dry out too quickly or they aren't very bright. Thanks!
Personally I love seeing your card ideas for the Art Philosophy cartridge. Keep 'em comin!
And I really like today's card--glad you decided to go ahead and show it.
Good luck with school--I was a non-traditional student (way back when) and know the challenges, but it will be well worth it for you to complete your degree.
I'm always happy with whatever you make Melaine! Do what you feel is best... I mean it IS YOUR BLOG after all! LOL I'm enjoying all the ART Philosophy projects you've made and I'll enjoy the other cartridge projects too, so keep up the good work! You inspire me everyday to create something and that's all that matters! :o)LOVE todays card! :o)

so cute, love the buttons on the tree :) I am with you too HOT out there
I really like the project. Great colors.
I REALLY love this card!! I can't figure out what you don't like about it, it is so pretty! I too love the scalloped border cut around the tree, such a great cut! I am so happy this card got it's day in the spotlight, it is well deserved. :) I can't wait to see more from this cartridge!

I don't know why you didn't like it...I think it is very pretty!
Can you explain the reason behind this cartridge and having to buy it from a Close to my Heart Consultant? Why can't it just be purchased. I don't understand the exclusivitity(real word??) of it.
Where does one find a consultant?
Melanie,
I am so glad that you showed this card. It is so cute and I love the paper and its colors.
Thanks,
Tina

I love the tag on the front of the card! So clever!!
I LOVE that card! I'm not sure I needed to see that tree when I'm trying to save money though lol.
I love your tree, & the colors are great!!! I wouldn't have thought to use buttons that way. TFS
Love, love, love the buttons on the tree!
