It was great seeing everyone at the Open House!!! The 2013 Autumn/Winter Idea Book is filled with wonderful new products, so there was art, projects and a lot of ideas to share. I wanted to go ahead and share online some of the art on display. First, I'll share the new Crown Point mini album kit, so it doesn't get lost in the post.

Here is the other make-n-take that everyone made. This card is made using Whisper and Slate to make a striped background, with a fun new shape from the brand new
Artbooking cartridge for the ripped page. The 'i heart you' sentiment is stamped in Ruby and is one of the new Mini stamp sets,
Dotted Love. These new minis are cute and affordable at only $2.95 each! You can't beat that! The mock heart print washi tape is from an extremely versatile new Hostess Rewards stamp set, Washi Wonder (a set of 24). The new Hostess Reward stamp sets are only available for hostesses and are even specially reduced in price, which allows the Hostess Rewards to go even further. It's time to get your gathering or book party on the schedule, so you can get your hands on these sweet sets!
Here is another card made with a Hostess Rewards stamp set: Wintry Wishes (set of 7). These adorable penguins are perfect for sharing warm wintery wishes. Combined with patterns from the new
Frosted paper pack, and finished off with some
Slate Polka-Dot Washi tape, a
button and some
baker's twine... this little guy can wish everyone to 'Have an ice day!'
I was so excited to see the new
ProPlayer paper pack. My son loves nothing more than to play video games, so I am sure that we will be using this paper and coordinating stamps a lot. I used the set
Tech Speak, along with
Puns of Praise and
All the Details. I even used some coordinating Cricut shapes to pull it all together, including the 'Congrats' sentiment.
Using the new background set
Geometric Backgrounds with the sentiment from the Sweet & Lovely stamp set from the Artbooking bundle, I was able to just play around with colors and come up with a unique combination of Sweet Leaf, Smokey Plum, Smoothie and Creme Brulee. Adding a couple of
butterflies sponged with Smokey Plum, embellished with
green epoxy bubbles, and this card definitely is 'lovely'.
This card is made using the new
Artbooking collection, not only the Cricut cartridge, but also one of the coordinating stamp sets: Sweet & Lovely. The 'sincere thanks' sentiment is also stamped in Ruby from the
Card Chatter-Sympathy set. Just a touch of embellishments with the
crocheted flower and a
round stud in antiqued gold, and this card is ready to go!
Going a little crazy with the new
Artbooking collection once again, I created the chevron background as well as the adorable lion. The Sweet sentiment is from the Sweet & Lovely stamp set from the new Artbooking collection too.
Using a couple more of the new inexpensive, but oh-so-cute Mini sets, I have a colorful birthday card. This card is using
A Little Gift with
Heartfelt Birthday Wish. Playing around with colors again, I used Ruby in the background along with Sorbet, Olive, Lagoon and Creme Brulee. I had a hard time getting the colors in the picture to all look right for some reason, I think this one looks pretty close at least now. A little paper piecing with a touch of
sparkle, and voila, a quick and simple birthday card.
The ability to utilize whatever colors you want is one of the great strengths of stamp sets, and why I just love to use them. Playing with yet another fun color scheme, I used Chocolate along with Lagoon, Sunset and Pear on a Kraft background. This card is using
Love This with
A True Thank You with a touch of
baker's twine with
epoxy bubbles.
Simply by adding the Cranberry ink to the
Frosted paper pack, I have a fun holiday card using the stamp set from the
Frosted cardmaking kit. A touch of
pearl opaques along the border and the holiday festivities are ready to begin!
Keeping with the same festive spirit, I have this simple 3"x3" Christmas card made with the
Tree Delights mini set! A strip from the
Frosted paper pack as well as
Brown & Tan sparkles completes this cute card.
More fun with the new
Artbooking collection, I cut out this fun sun background and combined it with the
Cityscape set. The 'Sparkle & Shine' sentiment is from an upcoming Stamp of the Month set for November, Illuminate.
And last, but not least, having fun with a couple of the Hostess Rewards stamp sets again, Washi Wonder with Family Photo, I made this fun "Oh, Snap" card. A print from
Laughing Lola paper pack is used, along with the Cricut Artbooking collection for the large 'OH SNAP' sentiment with the smaller sentiments stamped from the
Sightseer set.
