Seasonal Expressions 1 New Product Blog Hop


Welcome to our NEW PRODUCT Blog Hop!  We just released our 2019 Seasonal Expressions catalog on January 1 and it is full of exciting brand new products!  Consultants get a one month early preview which means we have had product in our hands since December to play with!  I can't wait to see what everyone has been creating!  This hop is a big circle so when you get back to this page, you will know you completed the hop!  Let's get started!  If you came from Hayey Dyer's blog you are on the right track.   You will find the next blog to hop to at the bottom of my post.

One of the products that I was most excited about in this new catalog was the Thin Cuts - Stitched Quilt Shapes.  I think I might have actually squealed when I saw these!  I could NOT wait to get these in my hands to play with!

There are so many ways to create a quilt top and these thin cuts provide so many options!  Here is my first (of many cards) that I created.



For my card, I used the colors of Sugarplum, Mint and Heather.  This color combination was featured in the Love of Color Book for Mint.  I used the new Swiss Dots embossing folder for the Heather cardstock piece.  For the Sugarplum quilt pieces I alternated between the dark and light sides.  The mint gingham paper is from the new Mix-in Paper pack.  I love the thin cut stitched quilt pieces that do not actually cut.  After using the stitched square thin cut, I added the stitched flower to the center.  The stitched Decorative Border Thin Cut was used on the gingham strip.  

I stamp the sentiment from Quilt Quotes with Heather ink and then used the small 3 petal thin cut to accent both sides of the sentiment.

I can't wait to create more cards with this thin cut set!

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 measureme...
