Art Philosophy Fun

I been having so much fun with my new Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and stamps  I don't want to admit how late I was up last night, just playing away.  I could not stop.  Here is a link for a wonderful video made by My Pink Stamper, Robyn that features the cartridge with another super easy and cute card she made (at the bottom of this post).  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3SLqOE76dQ

Check out a few things I've made so far.

Here are a few bits and bobs I made with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and stamps (z1686)

Super easy Birthday card made using Roxie B&T paper (x7140B), Pink Ribbon (z1384)
Copper Bitty Brads (z1368), 3D Foam tape (z1151) Tulip and Cocoa Ink, Cocoa and Black Cardstock
and the 2" Scallop Circle Punch (z1392) and 1 1/4" Circle Punch (z1311).
Happy Birthday pieces are cut using the Art Philosphy Cricut Cartridge.
I stamped the Happy on a separate oval , then stamped Birthday partly on the oval and the rest off.  Then I popped up the oval with 3D Foam tape

I love this bag box with the handles, cut from the Cricut, in Sunset cardstock.

Other materials used:
Licorice  (z1335) and Mocha (z1333) Opaques, Glitter Glitz Gel (z1313), Liquid Glass (z679)
Grey Wool, Sunset, Desert Sand, Black and Barn Red Inks and Pansy Purple Marker

Techniques used:
Stamp Manipulation - I cut and bent one of the stamps to make the imprint on the handle
Faux Glitz Color- Glitter Gel looks colored, by using a marker first, then putting Glitz on top
Masking - To get the image of the withces skirt and feet and the broom, I put a piece of
scrap paper overthe handle, then stamped half on the bag and half on the scrap paper

I LOVE this heart shaped box I made (the lid is removable).  The phrase I  found on the
Pair-a-Phrase stamp set (our National Stamping Month special) was perfect for this project.

Materials used:Roxie B&T paper (x7140B), Cocoa Ink, Mocha (z1333) Opaques, Glue Dots (1772)
Glitter Glitz Gel (z1313), Flower is cut using the Art Philosphy Cricut Cartridge

Techniques used:
Homemade Flower - made by rolling the flower cut out and then glueing it to the base using
Glue Dots.  The base is already attached when it is cut from the Cricut, how convenient is that? 
Zip Strip - each of the new B&T papers have a piece at the top that lists every color that
is in the pattern and on the other side is a strip you can cut off and use
as an embellishment.   That is what the scalloped edge piece of  the lid is decorated with.
Glitter Glitz Gel - each of the little gems that are printed on the Zip Strip are dabbed with Glitz to make them pop.
