Card Recipes

I  wanted to share the details about the cards I did with Creative Charms and Cosmo Cricket paper and embellishments.  I made these cards while I was at my Dad's and I had just a few supplies with me.  Sometimes you can be more productive and creative when your options are limited.

I brought along a selection of Creative Charms embellishments, the Cosmo Cricket "DeLovely" papers, chipboard and stickers, some coordinating solid cardstock, paper trimmers and adhesive.  While I was at my Dad's I bought the "Cherish" Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page set.  I worked on a tray table while we watched the football game (unfortunately the home team lost).

The DeLovely papers are bright and cheerful in shades of pink, yellow, green and teal blue.  As a Cole Porter fan, I enjoyed the clever way each paper has a "De" name.

The papers are all two sided and there is a reminder to look at the other side printed along the bottom of each sheet!  It is sometimes difficult to choose between the two sides but if you are making cards you can use both (or just buy more paper...).

Here are the details for each card - all cards are A2 (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch piece of cardstock folded to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch card)

In other news...there are three new Seasonal Mini Cartridges - Winter Lace, Gingerbread House and Trim the Tree  The images are not on the Cricut.com site yet but you can see them at Stamps Alive!  Terri is great to order from and she has a very attractive price for the set of three. The intricate snowflake cartridge is a must have for me and I may "need" to get all three!

I am finally back home - the past few months have been full of travel and I am so happy to be able to stay home for a while!  There is a lot to catch up with and also some new and exciting things that I will be working with and sharing soon.  I hope you have had some of the beautiful weather we have had for the past few days - maybe it will last for the trick-or-treaters this weekend!
