Chic Valentines Card

Good Evening All.  Just crafting away while my hubby is out of town and decided to work on a card for him for Valentines Day.  It is only right around the corner.  I wanted to make something adult and sophisticated so I decided to go with a black and white card with a touch of red.  I based the card on black and white but knew that I wanted to use a small scrap of deep red velvet paper that I had.  After scouring through my scrap box I finally found it and sized the card based on how big a heart I could cut out of the scrap.  Here it is:

Card Recipe:

  • Base card is 5" x 5" in black
  • Background paper is 4.5" x 4.5" from DCWV Bella Armoire stack
  • Heart is 3" cut from Gypsy Wanderings
  • The tag is 2.5" x 2.5" from Cricut Ultimate Creative Series Sampler image #27 Bonus 1
  • Sentiment is from My Pink Stamper Love-alicious with red embossing powder
  • I used the crop-a-dial to do the eyelets with red twine from Michaels
 The tag is really decorative but kinda hard to see in the photo.  I really matches the swirls on the paper.  I am entering this in challenge #95 over at the Fantabulous Cricut blog.  The challenge is to use a tag other than a circle.  Hope you enjoy and inspires a little love in all of you.  Have a great evening.

  1. Such a beautiful card! I wanted to also answer your question you left of the FCCB Quick Tip Tuesday about embossing fabric with the Cuttlebug. I actually have both and don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Good luck.
