It's a Jungle (Too Many Monk Episodes??)

I think I've watched one too many Monk episodes lately.  Got the It's a Jungle Out There song running through my head so I've once again played with the "Life's a Jungle" stamp set:

One, well actually TWO, things I love about acrylic stamps: You can stretch them to fit around a particular shape (like a circle) AND you can cut them apart to divvy up images or sentiments.  Well, maybe THREE things...I love that you can see through the clear blocks to position exactly where you want an image.

Wild About You

I confess.
I just cannot part with my CTMH stamps.
No matter how many new and wonderful images we sell, I still love the old.
Here's Life's a Jungle...an oldy...but I did pair it with a round card from the Art Philosophy cartridge so it's not ALL old...

More Art Philosophy: French Fry Box

Here's the pieces I cut out with the cricut. Isn't that mini tag card adorable?

• Just doing some size comparisons here...the small french fry box is the size of a thumb nail!

92 Card Shapes!!

I counted 'em.  And there are at least 92 different card shapes you can make with the Exclusive CTMH Cricut cartridge.  This one is just your basic circle card with a little layering.  I also used the new "pair-a-phrases" stamp set that will be available FOR FREE with qualifying orders beginning August 15th.  Check out the Two D-sized stamp set HERE .

Here's a size comparison: the card is a 5" version of the scrapbook circle, which is 11".  Have I mentioned I LOVE the new Exclusive CTMH Cricut Cartridge?  FYI...it's called "Art Philosophy."  And it's fantabulous :)

Un.Believe.Able

Did I say that already?  Well let me repeat myself: the new CTMH cricut cartridge is unbelievable.  I'm somewhat inept when it comes to technology but I've managed (with a little help from my CTMH sisters) to figure it out. This is like having a kazillion different dies all in one place: fonts, cards (I haven't counted the exact number of shaped cards yet but it's A LOT), boxes, shapes, tags, buckles, and on and on and on.  Notice the butterfly on my french fry box and the one in front of it, in my last photo?  That's just two of the dozens of sizes I can created with this one cartridge. The cartridge has been so exciting that I haven't even mentioned all of the other new products we've got: great new cardstock weight papers (and let's face it, CTMH papers have always been the best in the industry!), fun embellishments, great new workshops on the go and stamp sets....and LOWER PRICES!

I filled the box with cards, inspired by one of my CTMH bloggers (I'll add a link to her blog when I find it!)

Just a couple of the hundreds of  shapes, including round cards.

Found it! Here's a link to the artwork that inspired this card box: Lori Miller's Clearly From The Heart Blog
