Oh my goodness!!!!..............I am soooo in love with this cartridge! It is definitely going to take my cardmaking to a whole new place! It is so fun and it has so much to it.
I used the cupcake card and matching envie. The paper is the original Nana's Kid's stack from DCWV. I lined the inside of the card with pink cardstock and cut around the shape of the card to make it fit right. I also used Cat's Eye chalk around the edge of the inside to give it a little definition. I used lots of gems and my glitter pen to "bling it up". The name "Madie" is done with Storybook at 2" and is welded together in DS. I also added a shadow at 2" and welded it together too. The little plastic tabs at the top of the envie are Glue Dots so that the envelope can be sealed when the card is given away.
I wanted to make sure I could get the most out of the sizing on my mat, so I used Design Studio. The size of the and envie are each 5 1/2". But, I had to rotate the envie on the mat in DS to make it fit. TFL!

Christmas is such an AMAZING time of year and it is just about upon us! I decided to start making cards to sell in my Etsy shop that I just opened. This is the first of many cards that I hope to make for the shop.
It is made with the Joys of the Season cart for the pointsettias and Accent Essentials for the scallop border and cirlces. I used lots of stickles and my glitter pen. This card is super thick (tons of layers of cardstock)! TFL!

So these are the 3rd card for the class. The participants get to do either the Winter Snowflake Swirl or Hannakah. They are the same card except the die cuts in the center. I used the Cricut for all the die cuts. I used Storybook for the big scalloped swirly shape in the middle and for the circles. Joys of the Season was used for the Snowflakes, Star of David and Dreidle. The photo corners were cut with Jasmine and then embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. TFL!

This is card 2 of 3 for my class. It is my take on a Ribbon Tree card. The idea was not mine. It was the original idea of Claire Brennan all the way in Ireland. I am a fan of her blog and saw her ribbon tree and knew it would be a waaay fun card to make and teach. So, I emailed her and asked her permission to use her idea and make it into something I could do in a class. She was very kind and allowed me to use her idea for this purpose. And this is what I came up with. To see her original design, go to: http://waltzingmouse.blogspot.com/2008/09/ribbon-tree.html. It is SOOOOO fabulous!
For my card, I used the Cricut, with the Storybook cart, to make the scalloped oval and the regular oval. I used star eyelets and laced silver metallic floss through the middle and attached it to the back. Then I tied on the ribbon in long lengths and cut it to the right lengths. The paper behind the tree is metallic, but it is hard to see in the picture.

I am teaching another class at the end of October. This is the first of 3 cards that we will make in the class. I love how these free standing pop up cards look. I used the Cricut for all of the cuts. Stretch was used for the leaf and leaf shadow. I used Orange Dream Stickles on top on the orange leaf. The bookplate on the front is made from Storybook. I ran the tag through my Cuttlebug and used the Swiss Dots embossing folder to give it some pop. I used my fave pens, ink and ribbon to add some fun to the card. TFL!
