Hello, friends!
Today I have a card made with one of my all time favorite cartridges.
Accent Essentials is a fantastic must have cartridge that it a go to cartridge for me anytime I need a basic shape. This is a super easy card to throw together as well. The hardest part is threading the buttons.
 |
| I used Close To My Heart paper. |
 |
| I cut the 'top note' shape at 1 3/4" and then again at 1 1/2". |
 |
| The stamps are from Papertrey Ink. |
Thanks for stopping by today, my friends! I look forward to seeing you back here tomorrow!!
Have a great day!!

ReplyDeleteI was just hunting for a top note shape but chose Storybook instead. I always learn something new when visiting your blog (and Joy's too)
ReplyDeletePretty card!
SO very pretty Mel!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful--who makes that gorgeous paper?
ReplyDeleteLovely card! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI use that cut all the time. it is similar to the top note for the big shot but because we can cut it any size we like, better1
ReplyDeleteVery very simple, but yet the perfect patterned paper makes up for that. Nice touch adding the bling.

ReplyDeleteYOu all keep reminding me that I need to get started on the few cards that I need to make. THanks for sharing.

I love this! Simple yet stunning and a cartridge already in my inventory. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, I've been trying to click on the names of the cartridges in your blog (which are in blue) to take me to the Circut store and see the images. Is there something wrong with the links because I can't click on them anymore?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card!
ReplyDeleteVery Pretty! I actually just received that cart yesterday. I got it using my cricut reward points. I can't wait to use it! TFS
ReplyDeleteAlways good to have down the basics. I need to relook at some of my carts as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card :)

Great card! Love the top note die...partly the reason I bought this cart!
ReplyDeleteSimple but lovely card!
ReplyDeleteVery cute card. I didn't know that shape was in there. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful card - TFS!
ReplyDeleteYou said you had trouble threading the buttons. I heard just recently to cut a thin strip of cardstock, putting both ends of the paper from the front to the back, spread the paper to the outside and use a glue dot in the center of the button. Fold the paper back over the glue dot and use a glue dot to stick the button to your card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card; I love the accents.
ReplyDeletelovely!

What would I do if I didn't have you to point out those cuts that hide from all of us. I didn't even know that the top note shape was on this cartridge. I thought I was going to have to search for a way to cut it. Lovely card. TFS
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. I just ordered this cart for my daughter for Christmas (it was hard to find at a good price)! She only had fonts & was interested in getting into basic shapes, so I thought of this one immediately!!
ReplyDeleteLove it. It looks so stress free. I think I need to just stop worrying about what paper, what cut and all the other stuff and just create. Thanks for all the wonderful projects you share.
ReplyDeleteyou are right about easy but elegant still. tfs!
ReplyDeleteYou do amazing work! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteTFS!

Ok, this is a cart I've never heard of before. I really need to look through my gypsy to see what's out there. Nice simple card and good paper choice. I think it was worth the pain of threading the buttons because they just add so much to the card.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used the top note for anything other than a large frame. Thank you for opening up more possibilites. I just got stuck in a rut.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I love the paper you chose. Very elegant.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
