August Art Philosophy Blog Hop-Decorative Layers

Welcome to our August Art Philosophy Blog Hop! Each month we will showcase a feature of the amazing Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge which can be purchased exclusively through a Close to My Heart Independent Consultant.

We're so excited to be doing this hop and we have a fabulous lineup with some very talented ladies. There will be lots of fun projects to inspire you to create with your Art Philosophy Cartridge.

This month we will be showcasing the "Decorative Layer" (shift or no shift) feature of the cartridge.

If you just happened to come to this blog, you should start at the beginning at Lucy's blog - http://www.love2createitall.com.

My project is using page 32 (no shift) to create a scalloped oval to showcase a Thanksgiving Cornucopia.

Here is the Thanksgiving card I created:




I used the following products:

  • Close to My Heart Colonial White Cards (X1410)
  • Close to My Heart Flirty Paperpack (X7160B)
  • Close to My Heart Cocoa Ink (Z2114)
  • Close to My Heart Abundance Holiday Stamp Set (D1519)
  • Copic Markers
Here are my cutting instructions:

Base: 4" x 5 1/4"
2nd layer: 3 3/4" x 5"
Decorative Layer-page 32 no shift- 3"
Hand cut around cornucopia

The next stop on your blog hop fun is Joanne. Enjoy!

Welcome to the 7th stop on your Art Philosophy Blog Hop Adventure. If you are here from Connie's Crafty Closet  then you are in the right place, if not, please go and start from the beginning at http:// www.creatingwithcourtney.blogsp ot.com . Here is the Teacher Appreciation Gifts I created with my Art Philosophy Cartridge: The Post it Note Holder is made from an acrylic frame and I used Typeset along with the stamp set "Notice the Details". I left the card blank thinking it would be a great place for the student to write a note. Candy Candy Bar Wrapper (minus the candy bar!) also uses Typeset paper and "A Little Thanks" Stamp Set. Finally, there is a 3x3 card using Typeset and a CTMH wooden button. This will also be used as part of a workshop on Tuesday May 8th from 6:30-8:30. We will also be creating a card set. Next visit Erin at http:// www.imcreaterin.blogspot.ca  to see her wonderful creation. If after visiting all the blogs and decidin

I created a large centerpiece to be used as a giveaway for a Vendor Show I have tomorrow. I used the pumpkin on page 71 (accent 1) and fit to page. I cut out a third pumpkin to give it more dimension. I then used the 3D shift feature on the same page to cut 3 leaves. They are 5", 4 1/2" and 4". I then sanded the edges of them with a CTMH sanding block. Finally, I used a rose from the Art Ph
