Coordinate with Cricut Cuts


Learn how to use your stamps to bring Cricut® cut-outs to life! Many Cricut® shapes from the Artiste and Art Philosophy collections coordinate with stamp sets so you have more potential for creating, decorating, and accessorizing!



Since purchasing my Art Philosophy and Artiste back in June and August, I haven't used any of my other cartridges. For me this what I always go to. I love how I can make dimensional items and card decor, home decor and more with these two cartridges. I love how they have stamps that coordinate with my cuts. It makes it super easy, no guessing. There is so much room for your own creativity to soar and grow. When you order either of these products you get more than just a cartridge, you get three stamp sets and the different dimensional elements also. To order your very own Art Philosophy or Artiste cartridge head on over to my website, or send me an email and I will help you get started!

Fall Banner

This was a fun banner to make. I got the idea off pinterest. :)
 
 
 
I used the Art Philosophy Cartridge to make the letters, the squares and the leaves. I stamped the leaves with the cooridinating stamp that comes with the cartridge. I inked all the edges with chocolate ink... I use chocolate ink ALOT! It is one of those must have colors. The squares and the letters are cut from chipboard (old cereal boxes) then I cut paper and glued to chipboard for durablity.
 
Close up :)
