Celebrating with La Vie En Rose - January 2016 Workshops

The La Vie En Rose paper collection from Close To My Heart is so versatile because the main papers in the pack are black and white.  I wanted to show what you can do by adding some color to black and white for some wonderful pages that pop!  

The New Year's Eve layouts include two 4 x 6 Flip Flaps so you can put a total of six 4 x 6 photos on these layouts.  The silver foil tape and the silver embossing bring some subtle, but classy bling to these pages.  

The Happy Birthday layouts are so fun and colorful.  They also hold six 4 x 6 photos.  We will embellish with images cut on the Cricut using the Artistry collection.  We will add Liquid Glass on some of the embellishments to make them look enamel!

Let's take a closer look: 

LAYOUT 1 - Happy New Year 2016 

 

LAYOUT 2 - Happy Birthday

Artfully Sent and Artiste show off their Fancy Pants!!!

This project was prepared for our challenge on Between The Folds, which is a Close To My Heart Weekly Challenge Blog!  We hope you play along!

This week our challenge is Fancy Pants!  Create a layout or card that is a little fancier than normal.  Think Flip Flaps, Fancy Folds, Shaker Pockets, etc).

I chose to make a fun card that has a pop up effect by folding your paper inside in a cube effect to make the words pop when you open the card!  While you can create this effect by adding slits between the letters, our Artfully Sent Cricut Collection makes it even easier.  The paper just cuts this way and then you just do the folding!  I just love the effect it creates!

Here is a photo of the front of the card:

I had so much fun coming up with something for the Fancy Pants challenge, that I decided to make a shaker style piece to add to a 3D Box I made using the Artiste Cricut Collection.  I was originally going to make a card, but then decided to make a gift box instead.

To make this shake style piece, I used a 2x2 Flip Flap that holds the Happy Birthday sentiment.  I removed the adhesive off some sequins and added them inside the flip flap so they can freely move around.  This was so much fun to make!  

We hope you will show off your Fancy Pants!  Don't forget to check out the inspiration from the other designers over at Between The Folds Weekly Challenge... we hope you will play along!

3D Halloween Decor

This project was prepared for our challenge on Between The Folds, which is a Close To My Heart Weekly Challenge Blog!  Every Tuesday we will be choosing themes that will challenge your creativity!  We hope you play along!

This week our challenge was to create Home Decor or a 3D Item... so I did both!  How adorable are these Halloween items.  Perfect for decorating your home or giving a little treat!

The adorable 3D pumpkins came from the Make It Now section in Cricut Design Space.  I used CTMH papers to create it because I love how thick and workable our cardstock is.

The little coffin is a treat gift holder my workshop attendees will be making instead of a card this month with their layouts.  I think it's so adorable.  It's on the Artiste Cricut Collection.  I used Nevermore Halloween paper along with Black Cardstock and Purple Shimmer Trim!

Products used in this project are as follows (click on the photo for availability of product):
