I have been getting to know my Cricut machine a little better these days. So, I wanted to share a a few creations for Valentine’s Day. The photo above was created with the Cricut Damask Decor cartridge, decorative paper and stamp by K & Company.

kiss ticket card

This Kiss Ticket card was fun to make. I used the Wall Décor & More Cricut cartridge, an edge punch by Martha Stewart Crafts and the Admit One Good For A Kiss Anytime ticket stamp by Inkadinkado.

We are getting new product in our shop, including Ranger and Tim Holtz. I didn’t go to CHA this year but the Tim Holtz distress markers are some of the new popular items featured there. These ship late February 2012 to early March 2012. The Ranger distress items can be found here.

Have a fabulous day.

This is a spooky little creation inspired by the theme of the September 2011 “Boolicious” boxes over at Sampler Village. Once per month they offer a box full of handmade samples from different shops.

Decorated with blue cardstock paper, trimmed with decorative scalloped edges, red ribbon, tag and original art by our NTB artist. The base cardstock is cream high quality 98 lb heavyweight stock and has a pearl sheen finish. Cardstock was hand cut and scored using a paper trimmer and scoring board.
