Cricut Artbooking monogram card

Hello, friends!

Before I start talking about today's project I wanted to let you guys know that the Bitten By the Bug 2 blog is doing a design team call.  You have until Sunday, Sept 22 to submit an entry.  All of the details are on the BBTB2 blog.

Ok, now let's talk about today's monogram card. I just love making monogram cards. I guess it is because I like my first first initial. In fact, to see if I check out fonts the first letter I look at is the 'm'. Anyway, this particular card is for one of my team members whose name is Melissa. Double bonus! I made a card for someone and got to use an 'm'! LOVE IT!

This card is made using the Artbooking cartridge and the 'm' monogram stamp. I did a few different things with this card. First I colored the ribbon with a marker again to get the color I wanted (this takes seconds to do by the way!). Next, I heat embossed the stamped image using a yellow opaque embossing powder. Heat embossing is one of my favorite things to do!

*TIP: Before you heat emboss wipe down the paper with a dryer sheet. If you do this, you will not have wayward embossing powder particles where you do not want it. Works everytime!

I used Smoothie, Lagoon, and White Daisy CTMH cardstock. The patterned paper is from the Babycakes paper pack.

If you order the Artbooking cartridge in the month of September you qualify to get four extra stamp sets! That's right four! Let me explain, any order over $50 entitles you to get a limited edition triple stamp set for only $10 and the stamp of the month for only $5.

Here is how it breaks down:

- Stamp of the month (a $17.95 retail value) for $5

- Triple Stamp set ( a $47.90 retail value) for $10

That is $190.85 worth of things for only $114! A total savings of $75.85! For $114 you get a cricut cartridge, 7 stamp sets, and 3 sheets of coordinating chipboard! This is the best deal there is going to be all year! Get your's today!
