Helpful Hints

To create the techniques featured in this artwork, follow the helpful hints outlined below. Then use the pattern (Make It from Your Heart^®: Pattern 17) found on page 38 of our how-to publication Make It from Your Heart^® for inspiration.

Cut the title letters at 1 3/4" using the Cricut^® Artiste cartridge. Cut the small tag at 1 3/4" Shift+Accent 3 <&>, found on page 37 of the Artiste booklet.
To create the watercolor effect on the pumpkins and leaves, color with the marker sets until desired look is achieved. Use the blending marker, as desired, to soften the colors.
To create the shadow effect on the title, simply cut your title letters in a light color and then again in a darker color. Then, offset each dark letter under the light letter.
Embellish with stamped accents, paper accents, and accessories, adding dimension with 3-D foam tape as desired.

The Everything ABC's Blog Hop: Letter U

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter U. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their U element will be featured in their post. When I think of the letter U, I think of Unique! What could be more Unique than your own name? A customer requested some cards to use to give out to her friends and customers. Her first name started with an M so here is what I created for her. I used many retired products for this card (sorry) but I always let my customers decide what colors and papers to use. If you are ever in need of custom greeting or note cards please let me know and I will do my best for you!
