New Tiny Treasures Cricut Cartridge & a Digital option!!

 

I just received my new products for March and am having fun playing with them.  The embossed papers are beautiful!! 
Here's a fun twist on one new product - the CM exclusive Tiny Treasures Cricut cartridge - available for traditional Cricut users and now available digitally for SBC+ users! You're now able to use the same shapes, fonts & edges in your digital projects! The shapes even come with guides to help you with the placement of the layers (see the image next to the giraffe for an example.) I used papers from the Candy Shop Power Palette - both will be available March 1st! More examples coming soon!

Introducing the Shape Maker System from Creative Memories! New in March 2013, this new system will launch with three cutting cartridges: the square, the round and the puzzle shapes.

The movable dividers make it completely versatile and customizable.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to take a moment to thank YOU!  I am so blessed to be able to help support my family while doing something I love & I couldn’t do it with you.  Consultants, customers, family & friends - thank you for your business and support!

Here is a little turkey I made in SBC+   Feel free to use him with your digital projects.

You should be able to right click on it & save to your computer. 

Not sure how to add outside content to SBC+?  Here is a quick tutorial.

Importing Freebies into Storybook Creator Plus 4.0

Thanks to my talented sister CMCs for sharing these ideas:

Shawna Bartimoccia made this cute gobbler using the Circle Maker, Heart Pocket Punch, Starburst Pocket Punch & Ribbon Maker

Brenda Wilkinson made this little guy – using the Circle Maker, Leaf Maker and Border Maker System & Picket Fence cartridge.

You could easily make a holiday pie (at least a paper version) using the Scallop Circle Maker as the crust and the Circle Maker as the filling – cut into wedges for individual slices.

I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Halloween!

Just a few ideas to help you with your photos of your little ghosts & goblins!

Frankenstein’s Monster – made using cuts from the Traveler CM Cricut Cartridge, Circle Maker, Star Maker (or the edge of the Square Maker) & Foam Squares.

CCS Candy Corn   Using one of the Circle Patterns from the Custom Cutting System – pick one of the circles & cut  the larger size for orange paper, the middle size for yellow and the smaller Circle maker for the white tip.  Cut the circle into 8 pieces.  You can use the Corner Maker on the edges and add detail with the fine point of CMs Dual Tip Pens.
