Joyful Stars October Blog Hop

Welcome to the October Joyful Stars Blog Hop.  I'm so glad you can join us this month.  If you have arrived here from Joyce's Blog then you are on the right track.  Since receiving the new Exclusive CTMH Artfully Sent Cartridge, I have been making cards non-stop.  With over 400 different card projects  and 700 images to choose from, it is hard to pick just one to show you.  I decided on a Halloween card.

This card is found on page 44 of the booklet.  It is a "Scene" card that is cut in Slate Cardstock at the recommended 7" which means the card is a 5 x 7 size card.  The inside is the coordinating "Scene Shift" piece also cut at 7" but in Black Cardstock.  To add some depth to the house, I cut a strip of paper and used it as a mask to sponge Slate ink to make it look like siding.  I also sponged a bit of White Daisy ink on the house to make it look distressed.  Then, I sponged more White Daisy on the inside to make it look like a spooky, cloudy sky.  You can just cut some clouds freehand to use as a mask to sponge around or you can cut some using the cartridge.  Check out the "Scene Shift" on page 3 of the booklet.  If you cut that piece, you will have clouds to use as a mask.

This close up of the front shows the sponging and the windows.  The round windows are backed with Canary Cardstock.  I backed the other windows with some crinkled plastic to look like cracked windows.
Hope you have enjoyed this Artfully Sent card.  Check back soon because I will be posting more cards next week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Now it is off to Jolene's Blog to see what she has created this month.

Home For The Holidays - October Stamp of the Month

 Home For The Holidays will make great holiday cards, tags and gifts.  I just love the Polar Bear so I used him as the focal image for my card.  The paper is the Snowhaven Paper Pack.  It is not traditional holiday paper, but it is very bright and cheerful.  The colors will be great for scrapbook layouts for snow photos.  However, after last winter, I'm hoping I don't have too many new snow photos this year! 

 

 I used the tiny black sparkles for his eyes and some red glitter tape for embellishment.

Artfully Sent Snowhaven Card

Here is my first card made using the new CTMH Exclusive Cricut Cartridge Artfully Sent. It uses 2 patterns of the Snowhaven Pattern Paper.

 

The top layer was cut using the "Scene" (shift) function on page 49 of the booklet.  It was actually meant for the inside of a swing card, but it works great as a layered card front too.  The open area of snowflakes is backed with Silver Glitter paper.  The wording "Let It Snow" was backed with White Daisy Cardstock and then I used Glacier ink and the blending pen for an "ombre" effect. The large snowflake was cut at 3 1/4" in White Daisy Cardstock using the Art Philosophy Cartridge.  It was stamped using D1480 Snowflakes stamp set using Glacier Ink.  Then, I cut the Snowflake again in Silver Glitter paper at 3 1/2" and layered the stamped snowflake on top.  The snowflake was embellished using 3 sizes of Clear Sparkles.
