Two Projects with the Artiste Cartridge

Hello There, Jami Larson, cricutfarmer, from the messageboard.  I am posting two projects this month, because I managed to drop the ball last month and forgot to post,
sorry.  Both of these were made using the CTMH Artiste cartridge.  This project holds a set of standard size cards and envelopes.  Depending on the amount of embellishments you add to the card you will be able to add 4-6 cards and envelopes.  I intend to add a bit of greenery with my Martha Stewart punch and use this as a gift for a favorite music teacher for Christmas.  The box was cut at 5 1/2"  and the keyboard was stamped from the "Sweet Music" set from CTMH found here Stamp Set ,or from your CTMH demonstrator, which you can get for 1/2 price until the end of the month with a $50.00 purchase.  The cards were made from paper from October Afternoon.


  This is the very basic Advent calendar that I put together using the "Artiste" cartridge, CTMH advent calendar, and October Afternoon paper.  I filled each of the boxes with accessories that go with the "Crib Life" doll that I will give to my niece on the 25th.  I have given Advent calendars to my niece and nephews for years and absolutely love that this one gives me a box large enough to put more in than just a small piece of candy.

Don't you LOVE the size of the Advent Calendar--I have three kiddos, and can fit enough for all of them in the cubbies! Yours is beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity here. :)
