CTMH papers and cardstock are the best to work with. Having coordinating cardstock at my fingertips is a joy. No more rummaging through the scrap box looking for just the right green. The patterns are so versatile. Even patterns that are meant for a certain theme have elements that can mix and match with other patterns.
My main addiction to CTMH are the Cricut cartridges. It is a really serious addiction. I rarely make anything without my Cricut.
So today, I was playing around with the papers from Ivy Lane (now discontinued), and I knew exactly what cuts on CTMH's Artiste cartridge to use to make this Girly card. Since I'm usually making masculine cards for my 5 nephews, this was a chance to make something nice for my niece. I let the patterns and matching cardstock do the work here. I took the bold pattern and used it as the dress so that the dress would pop off of the page on the soft pink. I used coordinating pink and purple to cut the accessories and the title. This is super easy to recreate with any patterns or colors that you have. (I happen to LOVE pink and green together, so this was the patten I wanted to use.)

Love this design & love the Ivy Lane paper!! Wish they wouldn't have retired it!! As a mother of 3 sons, I don't often get to make "girlie" cards, so would love to have this cut file on hand when the opportunity arises. I'm in Cara's downline also! My email is glendascreativeplace@outlook.com, but Google won't allow me to enter it to use for comments, so I have to comment using my gmail address that I haven't even opened for at least 3 years ago!! I did follow your blog with my correct Outlook address.
ReplyDeleteLove your adorable card! I just joined CTMH in April, so I was flabbergasted when all the papers I had just fallen in love with were retired so soon after. Ivy Lane was one of my faves. But I'm also loving all the new patterns too, so it's all good. I prefer to use my yahoo account for email: adehart@bellsouth.net. Thanks so much. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a card. I look for different things to cut on the Cricut, especially for cards, and have never thought about using a dress. Love itl
