The set includes 4 different tag options, a stand alone sun flower, and the words “To” and “From”. You can make tags for gifts or to add to a card.

Plus, I’ll mail a FREE kit to make the card above to everyone who orders this stamp set on my Close To My Heart website! If you’d like to learn more, join my Creative Friends Facebook group where I’ll do a live demo on Monday at noon (CST).
Note that the sentiment “blessed to have you as a friend” is from the From the Deep Blue Stamp Set. I will do that stamping for you.
To finish the kit, you’ll need black ink (I used Intense Black), adhesives and something to color with. I used the TriBlend alcohol markers, but you could also choose color pencils, water color or even shimmer brushes.

If you have an Expression or other older Cricut machine that does not use Design Space, you probably know that Cricut no longer makes Cricut cartridges. This means that as the inventory in our warehouse is depleted, you will no longer be able to purchase the physical cartridges. It is getting harder and harder to find cartridges to use in these machines. For that reason, you are when you find a cartridge you want to own, you need to buy it while you can!
***If you have a Maker or Explore, you are in luck – all of our collections, even formerly retired sets – are now available using my affiliate link!***
Good news: You can still get your hands on three of they physical cartridges: Artistry, You Are Here and Artbooking!
Even better news: Remaining cartridges are on clearance at 50% off retail price.
Each of these cartridges is fully loaded with 700 images including at least one complete font. When you buy one of these cartridges, you also get a bonus of three coordinating stamp sets. Let’s take a look at each of these cartridges and the coordinating stamp sets.
Artistry
This
collection includes a trendy “filled” font with upper and lower. Plus it has lots of images including basic shapes, overlays, banners,
titles & more. The included stamp sets include lots of great sentiments that work for both cards and scrapbook pages.
You can see all of the images in this amazing collection by opening the handbook using the link below. I have a few of these in my personal inventory, plus you can still purchase it directly from the Close To My Heart website.
This
collection includes two fonts that can be used alone or together for layered letters. The images cover all the places that you may travel — both physical destinations and places in life. It includes iconic buildings and monuments from around the world, badges for several US National Parks and so much more.

The Artbooking collection is a favorite for Scrapbookers. It includes complete layouts and
mini albums designed to let you select the size once and cut everything proportionally. As you look at the images below, you can see the completed project in the top row with some of the elements shown below. Stamp sets create coordinating embellishments, journaling spots and sentiments.
