Cricut Project of the Week & Free Cutting File

This week’s Cricut project actually uses cuts from all three Close To My Heart Cricut cartridges: Art Philosophy, Artiste and Artbooking.  I used a sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping for inspiration, though oddly, there’s absolutely zero stamping on this card. Did you also notice that it’s not Seaside? LOL  This card uses the fall-themed paper pack…
