French Dies {Fri} Faves: CTMH Window Thin Cuts

Friday, October 29, 2021

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Thin Cut die cuts from Close To My Heart (CTMH) are packaged on their own magnetic sheet and work well with most die-cutting machines.

Here are my favorite "window" thin cuts:

1. Z4309 Shaker Window & Confetti Thin Cuts

The Shaker Window is 2" 1/2 and coordinates with Shaker Window Foam & Acetate (Z4310):

2. Multi Square & Circle Windows Thin Cuts

Z4023 Multi Square Window Thin Cut

Z4021 Multi Circle Windows Thin Cut

Those animals (C1856 Little Buddies) peeking out are soo cute!!!

{Sun} Sweets: Slimline Birthday Card + FREE Design Space File

Sunday, March 7, 2021

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Happy Sunday! Here's a Slimline botanical birthday card inspiration...I like sending Birthday Cards, for a handmade touch...don't know how many people keep them, but at least I get to enjoy making them! lol!

I trimmed a CTMH Artbooking Cricut overlay for the background, and colored it with watercolor paints in 3 different shades of green. Then, layered the other elements.

Circles and leaves dies cuts + pp (from my stash), CTMH sentiment stamp (retired), Cherry Blossoms stamp set, foam tape and alcohol-based marker.

This card was inspired by Atlantic Hearts Sketch #410 Sketch:

(If you have CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut and would like to make a similar card like the sketch, click HERE for the free Cricut Design Space File on CTMH Blog!)
