August Artiste Blog Hop


Welcome to our August ARTISTE Blog Hop! Each month we will showcase a feature of the amazing ARTISTE Cricut cartridge which can be purchased exclusively through a Close to My Heart Independent Consultant.

We're so excited to be doing this hop and we have a fabulous lineup with some very talented ladies. There will be lots of fun projects AND some blog candy!!!

This month we will be showcasing a different page from the Artiste cartridge! Did you know there were 700 images on this cartridge?? That's right -- 700!!!

If you just happened to come to this blog, you should start at the beginning at Lucy's blog - http://www.love2createitall.com.

My project comes from page 48 of the Artiste book. There are some amazing projects on this page!! For this hop I made the explosion box. It is the 3D option on the i Button.




For this project I cut the base at 3 inches and the second inside layer at 2 3/4 inches and the last layer on the inside is cut at 2 1/2 inches. I used the Dotty for You paper pack, for everything on this project. I feel like it is still missing something! I will be added 3 girl Jam bows when my order comes in to match the colors. This is going to be a gift to my best friend so she can fill it in with Pictures from both her daughters Birthdays! This was a super fun and easy project to make. Much easier than making one buy hand which I used to do all the time!










I will be giving away a small prize pack to one lucky hopper.

How to win:
1. Must be a follower
2. Leave a comment.

Its that simple! Good Luck everyone!
