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.

Anniversary Card

Hi everyone and Happy post Labor day.  I hope everyone had a really great weekend.  The project that I have for you today was done a while ago but I didn't want to post it until I actually delivered it.  This past weekend was my wedding anniversary.  My wonderful husband and I have been married for 7 years!!!!  The time just really flies by when you are having fun.  So I made my hubby a card to show him how much I loved him.  I really love the way the card came out and he really enjoyed it.

I don't really have a recipe for the card.  I think the heart was cut from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge and the sentiments were just random clearance bin stamp sets.  Hope you enjoy.

Birthday Cards

Hi all, I have been crafting away here making birthday cards for some of my favorite kiddos.  I tried to make cards that fit the personalities and likes of the kids.  I hope you enjoy!!

This first card is made with three cartridges.  The Robot is from the Wrap it Up cartridge.  This little guy is very detailed and so takes some time to put on all the parts, definitely needed to use the tweezers for this one.  The balloons are made with the Birthday Bash cartridge and the present border is made with the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge that came with my Gypsy.

This next card was made using two cartridges.  The birthday bee and balloons are made using the Birthday Bash cartridge.  The bee wasn't as detailed as the robot, but still took some time.  The grass border was made using the Plantain Schoolbook cartridge.  I really love the birthday saying that came with the bee.  The little guy I made this for loves bugs and has recently been stung by several bees!!!

This last card was made using three cartridges.  The dressy lady was done with the Forever Young cartridge.  The balloons are again from the Birthday Bash Cartridge and the Happy Birthday phrase is from the Gypsy Font cartridge.  As you can see I really love using all kinds of patterned paper.  I got to use a new product on the card to do the glitter word Diva.  I used a foiling pen and glitter stack that I found at the GASC.  I really love how easy it was to write on the card and make it come to life with the glitter.  You can view the product here.  I am not selling the product just wanted to share.


Hope you enjoy these cards.  It is back to crafting for me as I have a few projects that I need to complete before I am off on vacation.
