Hot pink and black Valentine

This patch work style Valentine card was made using several different pink and black cardstock patterns.  I layered 4 squares of cardstock and used the Cindy Loo cartridge to cut out the LOVE.  I used lots of glitter, stickers and ribbon to finnish off this cute Valentine!   





Floral Valentine

I used the floral paper to help me with the color scheme for this card.  The plain textured card stock I used has a white center, to distress it I used sand paper to rub some the color off.  I also tore some of the paper to give it a scrappy effect.  The letters were cut out with my cricut.  The flower in the bottom left corner is made of 5 hearts with a button center.





Purple and Pink Valentine

I used the traditional purple and pinks for this valentine! For the 3-D hearts I used the cricut to cut out 3 hearts that are symmetrical and the exact same size.  You fold them all in half vertically, then glue one side of one, to one side of the other, repeat with the 3rd heart.  It gives a really cool 3-D effect.  The sentiment was stamped with another 99 cent stamp from Joann's! 






Black and Red Valentine

I used the new Cricut craft room to design this card.  It makes it super easy to create the heart cut-outs line up size wise perfectly.  I chose different black and white, and red cardstock for this card, and of course lots of glitter!!  I stamped the sentiment on the front and inside of the card with stamps I got from Joann's fabric 99 cent bin!

Men's Birthday Card

A card I made for my boyfriend's Dad's birthday.  I used the tool paper as the starting off point because he loves tools.  All of the paper used is from the "Guys Stack" by DCWV.  I used Wild Card cartridge to cut out the card and envelope.





Birthday Slider Card

The frog on the front of this card slides back and fourth as you tip the card.  Two penny's sandwiched with a demensional creates the slider mechanism.

Here is a link for a youtube tutorial on exactly how to make one!

I made these tags to spruce up the flowers I gave as host gifts on thanksgiving.  Turkey is from stretch your imagination  cart. and the sentiment is from Celebrate with flourish.
