Good morning, everyone! How is everyone's week going? I hope you are finding as many blessing this week as I am. :) Today is Creative Card Tuesday at  My Cricut Craftroom  and I have some cute cards from the new Artiste cartridge to show you. Today's theme is Pop-Up Cards which is new for me. (Confession: I have never made a pop-up card!) I decided to challenge myself and try out one of the pop-up cards on the Artiste cartridge. What did I think?  One word-EASY! I really enjoyed putting these together. They took minutes! I cut out two cards from pg. 51 of the Artist manual, one at 4 inches and the other at 5 inches.

Good Tuesday morning, all. I hope your day is finding you happy and having a good week. Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's Creating Card Tuesday. Today's theme is Thank You cards and I have an easy one for you. The dimensions for this card are as follows: Card 3 in x 4 in (cut a strip 6 in x 4 in and score at 3 inches) Purple Matte is 2 3/4 in x 3 3/4 in White matte is 2 1/2 in x 3 1/2 in This card is small but can be easily made larger. The flower is from the Elegant Cakes Cricut Cake cartridge is cut at 2 inches and is found on page 69 of the booklet. The inside is stamped simply "thanks" as sometimes it is all that needs to be said. Because of the simplicity of this card, it is easy to duplicate. In less than an hour I was able to make 6 cards. These mini cards are perfect to stash in your desk at work, your purse, or even your car for when you are in need of a quick 'thanks' for someone. :)  'Thanks' for...
