Cute Card Holder Project using Cricut Artiste


The new Close to My Heart cartridge for Cricut includes many 3D projects. Shauna, one of our Tuesday night gathering crafters, fell in love with the card holder project on page 140 of the new Autumn/Winter Idea Book showing the September Stamp of the Month. I found this video on YouTube to show the easy steps for making the box with the new Artiste Cricut cartridge. Enjoy!



P.S. If you listen very carefully, the crafter-Mommy on the video says her little boy is watching Lion King. His name is Maverick, which is the name of Bret's bulldog. You can see a 'bobble-head' greeting card I made featuring doggy Maverick in an earlier post on this blog. I named my son Bret after Bret Maverick (James Garner was a hottie!) and Bret named his dog Maverick. Many of you may think of Maverick as Tom Cruise's call sign on Top Gun, and maybe this video's little boy was named for him. BUT "Maverick" is actually a western cowboy term for an unbranded animal or one who takes an independent stand, as in politics. Maverick was the name of a western TV show back in the day, maybe before you were even born. The main character, Bret Maverick played by a young and dashing James Garner, was a gambler who got out of scrapes by wit and charm. Those shows were great fun in black and white!
