Sangria Family Border

 Happy Thanksgiving!  Hope your day is filled with love and delicious food!  I thought a family border would be appropriate for today.  I started with a 2 1/2" strip of B&T paper from the Sangria paper pack and layered it with a 2" Eggplant strip and then topped that with a 1 3/4" strip of the leaves B&T paper. 

All the Cricut items on this border are from the CTMH Artiste cartridge.  I cut the word "Family" and then glued the heart shape that was cut out onto the end of the word.  The inner frame is cut from Champagne paper and I drew a black frame line with the  LePen journaling pen and inked the edges with Pomegranate ink.  The outer frame from is cut from the purple B&T paper.  I used the thin 3D tape to give it some dimension.  All paper except the New England Ivy (for the leaves) is from the Sangria paper packet. I finished the border with flowers from Sangria Assortment.  

Thanks for taking a peek!  I'm grateful you stopped by!

Sangria Thank You Card

This is always a great time of year to focus on your blessings and be thankful, so I thought a thank you card would be in order!  I created this card using the Sangria paper pack and added New England Ivy cardstock to create my card base and frame for my sentiment. 

I used the CTMH Cricut cartridge Art Philosophy to cut the leaves (size on stamp set) out of the solid color cardstock from the Sangria paper pack and then embossed them using the Harvest Happiness stamp set with VersaMark ink and clear embossing powder.  I cut the sentiment shape out using the Artiste Cricut cartridge (size on stamp set, just made the green frame slightly larger) and then stamped the sentiment using the Casual Expressions stamp set. The zip strip is layered on a 1/2" strip of Eggplant paper and then layered on the 1 1/2" wide light patterned paper.

Celebrating Fall with Sangria!

What better way to celebrate fall than with Sangria!  I couldn't wait to start playing with the beautiful rich colors in the Sangria Collection from CTMH!  

I started with the Champagne Cardstock from the paper pack as the base to my pages and then continued with the B&T patterned paper - gorgeous for fall!  I did add a sheet of New England Ivy cardstock because I felt the page needed some green.  I used the Cricut Artbooking cartridge to create the vine and leaves (Loved the heart shape in the leaves and used the cut out heart shapes to embellish the Generations frame!) at the top and to make the oval and oval frame under the Generations sticker from the Sangria Complements.  I used Cricut Artiste to create the scallop heart under the Love sticker.  Although there is no stamping on this page, I did sponge everything with the coordinating inks in

 New England Ivy, Eggplant and Pomegranate because I love the defined look that gives to the paper pieces.  The rest of the page is embellished with items from the Sangria Complements.
