A Piece of Cake for Clementine


HAPPY FRIDAY!!  I'm ready for the weekend and some crafty time!  How about you?

I just love our new Artiste Cricut Collection!  I made this cute little pie shape box in just minutes.  I was surprised at how fast it came together.  I used Close to My Heart's new Clementine (X7156B) paper to make this 'yummy' slice of cake.  I think this would make a really cute Thank You gift for bridesmaids or just about any occasion.

Then I just cut and folded!  To 'decorate' my slice of cake I used our new Colonial White Rosette Ribbon (Z1800).  It reminded me of the yummy icing border that is around the cake's edges.

I tied a big wide band of our Dark Chocolate Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (Z1617) around the top and bottom and attached a Thank You sentiment stamped from our new set - Casual Expressions (D1525)  I used the Artiste cartridge to cut out the base for the stamped image. ("b" <shift> Accent 3)  One of the things I really like about using the stamps that coordinate with the Artiste cartridge, is that it tells right on the stamp carrier sheet what page in handbook that the cut is located.  No thumbing through pages and pages looking for the cut you need! It also tells the size you need to set your dial to so that your stamp is a perfect fit to your cut image!

Here is the stamp set I used - It has some really great sentiments and images.  I can't wait to use it to make some cards!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
