Sneak Peek - For Always

Here is another sneak peek at a new paper pack in the Spring Summer Idea Book! This paper is called For Always (X7165). The 6 different patterns are all black and white.  This paper looks great with pops of colors.  I used Ruby for my pop of color on this card based on the colors in the Dynamic Duos Color Challenge.   I based my card on the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketches.

No stamping on this card!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge (Z1790) to cut my shapes - even the tulip shape flower with the flourishes.  The Black Tulle Ribbon (Z1798) creates the bow pulled together by a button from the new Black Assortment (Z1821).  I used bitty black sparkles from the Black and Grey Sparkles (Z1754) on the tulip.   I decided not to add a sentiment to the card.  I think it might have gotten lost in the pattern!  But, I really like the way this card came together.

Here is the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketches along with the Dynamic Duos colors:
                                                  

I'm also linking this up to Color My Heart: Color Dare Challenge #26

    I'm excited to see the new catalog for Close To My Heart! I'm mainly a Stampin Up girl, but I love CTMH products too, and own lots of them! What a wonderful card you've created and it leaves me chomping at the bit to see what else there is in the new catalog! Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! 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
