Eiffel Tower Card with CTMH Artiste and La Belle Vie

The beautiful La Belle Vie paper pack is retiring at the end of this month so I thought I'd use it to make a quick card to show off its loveliness one more time.  I used the Artiste cartridge to cut the Eiffel Tower shape as well as the doily and the banner shapes.  Some quick stamping with the La Belle Vie WOTG stamp set (Magnifique) and our Jardin stamp set (the rose and text background on the doily) and I was pretty much done!  Elegant, quick and simple - oooh-la-la - just my kind of card!

From Paris with Love card with CTMH Artiste and La Belle Vie

I like this card so much that after I'm done using it as a display item for the La Belle Vie paper pack, I think I'll frame it and use it as home decor.  I don't know if its the sparkly Eiffel Tower (isn't that Cricut Artiste cut awesome?) or the Designer Rhinestone Brad but this card is totally me.

Here is a close up of the embellishment cluster.  See that huge Designer Rhinestone brad?  You get 12 total - 6 big like this and 6 small - for $5.95.  They are one of my favorite accessories in our Idea Book because anything you put them on instantly looks fabulous dahling!

Hope you are having a good week!  I had my fair share of issues to deal with yesterday so I'm hoping for a smoother sailing day today.  We are doing a board breaking session in Tae-Kwon-Do today and I'm looking forward to getting some stress out!

Bonjour Bow Card with CTMH Artiste and La Bellle Vie

The 3-D bows on our new Artiste Cartridge inspired this shabby chic card.  I wanted to incorporate sparkles, bows and lots of distressing with our La Belle Vie paper pack - so much French flair you just have to go a bit over the top!

In this shot you can just see the tiny dots of Stardust Glitz I added to the background paper.  Oh-la-la!

Here's a shot of the lovely 3-dimensional quality to these bows.  Can you believe its just paper?!?
