Purse and Gift Bag With CTMH Cricut Artiste and a Video


We had so much fun at my Open House yesterday. That Cricut Artiste Cartridge is INSANE! Everyone was getting acquainted with it. When you are done watching this video, you’ll understand what I mean. Then  scroll down to see what we made!

We had 2 make and takes. The first purse, I have to give a shout out to my girl, Fancy Melissa because she created this and I just “craft-lifted” It is so cute! 
Look at the inside:
 It can hold a little 3×3 Petite Perks or one of our new Monogram Sets! Love these!  Along with 3×3 cards and envelopes. There are 2 other purses on the cartridge that have inside holder for even larger things.
We also made this little gift bag, I just really adore the stamp sets that come with the collection. Especially the birthday banner. It is so realistic looking with the added details.
We also used the Pirouette Flair Stamp for a gift bag topper. We used the Whisper Pigment Ink and it really made it look embossed and almost velvety.  This was inspired by the one shown on pg. 19 in the catalog.
 
then we all ooohed and aaaahed over the new Shimmer Tape! It is so fun and pretty. I love that you peel the backing off and away you go! It’s hard to see on this photo, but it adds just the right amount of sparkle and shine.
