Isnt this soooo pretty? Apothecary jars are all the rage,I made this jar with pieces and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
parts from my local Hobby Lobby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Satin black spray paint and sprayed everything that wasnt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
already black, then gave it a coat of spray satin varnish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Cricut cartridge "Tie the Knot", and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just made another one using my SCAL and a font I found on </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the internet.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a wooden disk under the jar to make it look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
more chunky. There are many on pinterest and the internet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that do not have this step. I think it gives it more</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
substance to add this piece.</div>

Here is an Easter card I made using my Cricut and the Art Philosophy<br />
Cartridge. I saw one similar that used punches, And I dont remember where to give credit..Because I so WOULD! But this uses the CRICUT. <br />
Lets start...<br />
I first cut out a hole to the card front at 1 3/4" with the cricut and added Brown Bag ink around the edges of the hole, Then I added the bunny bottom and face using a 1 3/4" circle. Attach the body to the INSIDE of the card and then add the head to the front using dimensionals pop dots... Isn't he Cuuuute??<br />

This was possibly one of the quickest and easiest cards I have done</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in a while. It's clean and simple isnt it?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://traceysanders.ctmh.com/CTMH/Content.aspx?id=%2fen%2fsitecore%2fcontent%2fOBA%2fProducts%2fCricut_Collections.aspx">Artiste Cricut cartridge</a> to cut out the hearts...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then backed the hearts with strips of colored <a href="http://www.traceysanders.ctmh.com/">CTMH cardstock</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the sentiments I actually cheated and used a font I had in Microsoft</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Word and printed on cardstock and cut in strips. I bumped them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
up with some pop dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simple and clean.... And Quick!!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">After all pieces are cut, begin accenting the edges with ink pads to get the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">shading you like. I used HollyHock Ink to create the cheeks and nose colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Attach the nose ( I bumped it up a bit), then assemble the eyes and attach </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">just behind the nose. Dry fit the hair around the face before attaching the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">white brim.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">You will need to trim the brim (cupcake liner) so it doesnt look so much </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">like a sailor hat. I cut the angle off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then attach your ears, and then fold the red hat and attach behind the brim.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Glitter the Santa hat and attach the bell( I used the Marvy Bell Punch).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">And lastly put the twinkle in his eye, and draw the mouth and inside of ears, </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">and eyebrows.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Attach to candy cane with a super glue dot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">EASY!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">Also I took him a little bit further and created the whole body for this cute little fellow!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">His body was also made with the Artiste Cartridge, even the boots and the furry cuffs (cupcake shape cut at 1-1/4")</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">except for his arms and legs, which were cut using the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">Art Philosophy (long skinny oval).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">His little green outfit was cut at 5" with the shield shape.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: medium;">This is the
easiest, fastest, cost effective and healthiest way to refurbish a Cricut mat
that I personally have discovered that actually works well. </span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Start with your used mat, a sink and a
scrapper (old credit card works well).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Get yourself a bottle of Goo Gone (spray is
the best) and then spray your mat. Wait a couple of minutes.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iPQyaEyD2j4/TwCp_snVLII/AAAAAAAAAnM/SNfvQI6tuD0/s1600/9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_yclruo="27" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iPQyaEyD2j4/TwCp_snVLII/AAAAAAAAAnM/SNfvQI6tuD0/s1600/9.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Scrape away. It should be an easy process,
if not spray more and/or wait a little longer.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Wash with warm soapy water and dry.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Use this product. Zig glue wide.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. When the glue is wet it comes out blue. Run
the applicator down the mat in lines avoiding the no cut areas. IT ONLY NEEDS
ONE COAT! Let dry (glue will turn clear) and place mat protector on the mat
until ready for use. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well with the Cricut Art Philosophy of course! Isn't this too cute?<br />
I first started making a witches hat for my pumpkin, then it turned into<br />

a whole Mr Potato head type thing. I cut the eyes with the Cricut, and used the 3D flower layer to make the eyelashes for her eyes. The little spider dangling from the witches hat was made from the <a href="https://traceys.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=176">Bling Assortment</a> Buttons from Close To My Heart and some black waxy flax. The mouth is made from pewter brads, and the hat is made from our paper line <a href="https://traceys.myctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=1727">Mischief</a>.<br />

What a Great little extra treat this would be to a teacher, or best friend! I used Close to My Hearts' Cricut Art Philosophy to cut</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the box and to make the ghost!! Booooo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizffD5ZKsTXxK8SR99qJd3M3cgoQi_LEtjFWmKXm4EOEoWC0j_YjCof7l2RSe-fCKYew6-6dXC0B_k-QkDsYenJVj3UWBX7j0hozJTZviFHqbXxonVLxnIQVlaGOPpkIK0Yu_owK092Rk/s1600/ctmh+halloween+box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" nba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizffD5ZKsTXxK8SR99qJd3M3cgoQi_LEtjFWmKXm4EOEoWC0j_YjCof7l2RSe-fCKYew6-6dXC0B_k-QkDsYenJVj3UWBX7j0hozJTZviFHqbXxonVLxnIQVlaGOPpkIK0Yu_owK092Rk/s400/ctmh+halloween+box.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the box using the "fit to page" option on my Cricut</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
expression. The Ghost face was cut at 4 1/2", the eyes started at</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 1/2" and worked my way down to smaller sizes. The nose was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a 1 1/4" circle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used My Acrylic stamp set C1462 All Hallows Eve.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bat was a punch that I attached to a small piece of wire</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and wrapped it around a pencil, then attached under the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stamped image. </div>

Items needed to make the slider</div>
<div class="step-text">
<ul class="supply-list">
<li><b>6" x 5 1/2" piece of cardstock</b> for candy cover </li>
<li><b>3 1/2"x 6" piece of B&T </b>for belly band (optional) </li>
<li><b>Scoring tool</b> </li>
<li><b>Sticky Strip™</b> </li>

<li><b>Stamps</b> </li>
<li><b>Scissors</b> </li>
<li><b>Ink</b> </li>
<li><b>Hole punch</b> </li>
<li><b>Additional cardstock</b> for decoration </li>
</ul>
</div>
<strong>Score cardstock at 1 3/4", 2", 4 1/2, 4 3/4</strong> .<br />
close with redline tape.<br />
attach accent piece around for belly band. Punch hole thru both sides<br />
in the middle at the end for the ribbon.<br />
Put ribbon thru hole and pull up even. Place candybar in the candy cover while sliding it down the middle of the ribbon. Tie a bow at the<br />
end after your candy bar is inside.<br />
