Cricut Artiste

How are all you crafters out there? Are you making your Christmas cards this year? I wanted to make mine last year but didn't. This year though I am making my own. I had most of them done then realized I need a few more but instead of making the same ones, I'm going to design another one :) Close to my Heart released another video showing some things from the Artiste cartridge.

Pigment vs Dye

Have you wondered which ink you should buy? Well it depends on your needs. If you want a more vibrant color then your choice would be the pigment dyes. If you want your ink to dry fast then a dye is more for you. If your like me and like options then both is good. The pigment dyes take longer to dry but really do stand out. Here is a new video by Close to my Heart talking about the differences in both inks.



Our Exclusive Inks® stamp pads offer an innovative in-lid pad to keep ink close to the surface. Labeled on three sides for quick reference, each pad is stackable, closes securely, and features a patented swivel base for easy access to the entire pad surface. Each is approximately 3 1/8" × 4" and contains dye-based or pigment-based ink that is vivid, luxurious, and true in color. It’s also archival safe and pH-neutral. Refresh a used stamp pad with a matching re-inker, available in every Exclusive Inks color.

Paper Pumpkin

Who loves Pumpkin? Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Pancakes and Pumpkin cake are all favorites of mine. Here is a cute little pumpkin I made using the Artiste Cricut cartridge by Close to My Heart.

 
I random stamped and inked the edges in Goldrush ink color. The leaves were also cut with the Artiste. I hot glued the leaves and button to the top. Pretty little pumpkin on my mantle. Almost 4 inches tall.
