Cut-Stamp-Elevate tutorial using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge!

Hello, friends!

Today's tutorial I have decided to call CUT-STAMP-ELEVATE. You might wonder what in the world am I talking about. Well wonder no longer, faithful followers! I am about to show you exactly what I am talking about.

I do need to tell you guys something really quick though. This was going to be a tutorial where I showed you how to make these great embellishments. Then I would show you projects I made using these embellishments. I made the embellishments, but was not able to make the projects because I ended up having to get my eyes dilated. Long story short, crafting while your eyes are dilated is nearly IMPOSSIBLE! However, I am pressing on and showing you how to make the fabulous embellishments using the NEW CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge, stamps, and the chipboard that is included in the bundle.

First, I want to show you the cut, stamp, and the chipboard piece (the elevate part). Now let me tell you something about this chipboard. It is super thick and would be tough to cut out using your cricut. I have cut this thickness before using the deep cut blade. My machine seriously struggled though and I never did it again. Luckily with these chipboard sheets, you don't have to cut thick chipboard! It is already done for you. FABULOUS! The top piece is the cut, the middle is the stamp itself, and the bottom piece is the chipboard.


I stamped the cut out and then adhere it to the chipboard and got this:

Now this birthday sentiment is from one of the other stamp sets that is included in the set. It fits perfectly. I also added a little bit of bling by using this liquid GLITZ in stardust. It is similar to stickles, but it dries nicer!


Now the second tutorial for the day is something similar, but it is made with other chipboard that you can buy. It coordinates with one of the stamp sets that you get with the cartridge bundle!

The star is cut out at 3" which makes it fit perfectly on top of the chipboard piece.


Then I stamped the star using the coordinating stamp set.

Then simply add it to the chipboard like before! I added some more GLITZ and inked the edges!

See how thick this chipboard is! AWESOME!!

Then I added a sentiment from the same stamp set! This will make a beautiful focal point for a Christmas card!

    One of the things I have noticed is that the CMH stamps and chipboard tell you what size to cut at - no more guessing! These are great ideas, TFS with dialated eyes!

    Thanks so much for this tutorial. VERY glad you shared the coordinating stamp sets I was wondering that myself!!

    Btw.... I'm in Canada and wondering about ordering/and maybe becoming a consultant and whether I can order through you (since I benefit so much from your blog posts) or would I be better off to find a local consultant??

    Love all of your tutorials. Awesome that the cartridge is compatible with so many of the CTMH stamp sets. I'm sooooo tempted to buy this cartridge bundle, hopefully it'll still be available when I have the funds. :)
