5. The
jagged flower shapes can be wrapped with string “spirelli” style.
6. Sliders/buckles
make pretty ribbon ties, buckles, and photo layers. They can also make gorgeous
banners.
7. Banners/Pennants
can be made mini for cards, scrapbooks, or mini-books. They can be made large for parties or
events. They can be made as swag,
straight line horizontal or vertical, or even to wrap around a topiary,
display, gift, or Christmas tree. Look
at the tags as another option for this.
8. Some
stamp sets are not noted which cartridge needed are Art Philosophy
cartridge. This was a learning situation
by CTMH as they developed the initial CTMH/Cricut paired stamp sets.
9. Basic
foundation shapes, or “Top note” shapes (example page 53) can be cut in
incremental sizes with thin cardboard to keep as an embossing template for your
Cuttlebug or other embossing machine.
This would be to mimic other metal die cut products that are limited to
predetermined sizes/shapes. They can be
used as journal spots, photo mats, or cut in half as unifying accents on a card
or scrapbook page.
10. The
alphabet “holes” can be accented with beads, sequins, gems, glitter, pearls or
whatever you desire.
11. Many
of the cards can be made side or top fold as you choose. Size layers down .25” or .5” for visual interest
or accent.
12. Font
Layer SHIFT page 61-69, buttons 41-49 would layer nicely on round or square
cards.

cut in multiples; positioned to one side of the page with an embellishment on
the short side; or the join arranged across a page can be covered with a
picture or embellishment. Most (not all)
