Cricut Art Philosophy Close to my Heart

For the base of the card I used Bazzill card and Kaisercraft Vintage Timeless 6.5" paper pad. I used the card cutout from page 36 in the handbook. I also cut out the shape and the layer. The stamped image used comes with the Art Philosophy cartridge. I used Memento Rich Cocoa to stamp the image. After I had assembled the base cutouts and had adhered the stamped sentiment I cut out a piece of Bazzill card rounded the corners and adhered this behind inside the card to give a finished look. The swirl is from page 58 in the handbook. These were cut also as a mirror image. I cut each swirl out four times and adhered them together to give a faux chipboard effect. The pattern paper for the swirl from Vintage Timeless. The small flowers are punched out using a Stampin Up punch Three for you. For the centre of these flowers I used Kaisercraft Droplets. For the roses I used the cutout on page 68 of the Arts Philosophy handbook. I cut the large flower @ 2.5 and the smaller flowers @ 2. For the centre of the roses I used liquid pearl as a fill and when that dried I placed a pink pearl on top of each flower. To create the leaves I used the cutout on page 28 of the handbook. These were folded, inked and I painted them with paper tole gloss. The raffia element was also painted with the gloss. To finish off the card I painted each flower with Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink and Pearlized Top Coat.

Card base Bazzill White card 5 1/8 square. To make the mats for the base of the card I used the print pattern on page 35, the floral print on page 43 and the bird cage print on page 35 from Lori's Garden. The print pattern is 5 1/8 square. The bird cage print is 4 7/8 square and the floral print is 4 1/2 inch square. These mats were adhered flat onto the card base. On top of these mats I adhered a 10cm lace doilie.
The pink strip was printed from the Imagine using the color palette from Lori's Garden. I used a 6 x 6 inch square of the print pattern and edged it with Martha Stewart Punch around the Page Swirling Lace punch and cut this to fit onto the pink strip. On top of this element I adhered sheer ribbon. This element was adhered flat onto the card base.
From the Fancy Frames cartridge I cut frame 12 and used the color palette from Lori's Garden. The frame was printed and cut at 3". One was cut using brown for a shadow and one in pink for the top layer. For the centre of the frame I cut out an oval using the print paper that was left over from creating the lace border. The frame was adhered flat onto the card. I used Plantin Schoolbook to create the number 70.
I created the flower using the cut on page 14 of the Flower Shoppe handbook Heart 2. I cut two flowers @ 2 inches two flowers @ 1.5 inches and two flowers @ 1 inch. I used the floral print for the 2 inch and 1 1/2 inch flowers. For the inch flower I used the pink from the Lori's Garden colour palette. I curled each petal using my fingers. I glued each flower layer together and for the centre of the flower I used a pearl. Before adhering the flower onto the card I looped three pieces of sheer ribbon and attached these onto the card using glue dots. I adhered the flower using pop dots. The Happy Birthday element is from Lori's Garden and was printed and cut @ 1.5 inches. I adhered this element to the card using pop dots. To finish off the front of the card I adhered a bow onto the frame and put 3 pearls onto the border element. Inside of the card I adhered a 4 3/4 inch square pink card and glued a butterfly that was printed and cut @ 1 inch. This butterfly is on page 12 of the Lori's Garden handbook.

How to Print Sentiment onto the Frame using a printer

....

Create your Sentiment using a word document programme

or in this case I used Print Shop 22.

Measure the required size to fit the frame.

For this card I used

2 1/2 inch W x 2 inch D text box.

I typed the sentiment then printed it onto an A4 sheet of paper.

Adhere the frame over the printed words. ( I used low tac double

sided tape for this process so it is easy to remove the frame from the A4 sheet.)

Use a light box or other light source to check the alignment

of the print before placing theA4 sheet back into the printer.

Once you are happy with the alignment place the A 4

sheet of paper back into the printer and click print.

Remove the frame from the sheet of paper.

This process can be used to print words or sentiments on any

size or shape of card you require by adjusting the print size as required.
