More Valentines Cards!

Here are a few other cards I made, but never sent out. It's hard to let go of some of them!!



All of the paper is from Cosmo Cricket. I got "Amor" from Rock Princess. I outlined it with a think black pen, then I covered/glued clear micro beads to it, to give it texture. The heart is also from Rock Princess.

For the inside of the heart, I cut 1/2 inch x 3 inch strips of coordinating paper. Then, I stacked it, so I made a square with each layer of four colors. For each layer, the square gets smaller. The hard part is covering it on the other side so there isn't a huge bump inside the card. I covered it with extra thick paper (not shown) and put a bit sentiment on the inside to help cover it up.

Next!

I have a slight obsession with tiny banners. I recently got the Martha Stewart Cake cartridges, and had to use the AWESOME banners on it! The banners alone are worth the money!



I found this paper in my stack from Valentine's last year, so I decided to use it up. "Valentines Day" is from Rock Princess. This is the perfect font for this holiday! I used pink DMC floss (I got a variety pack for $20.00 + 40% off from Hobby Lobby) and glued each pennant to the back of the floss. I threaded the floss through Papertrey Ink buttons and glued them to the card. I did not glue the pennants to the card, so it would be flowy.



For the inside, I welded the three hearts cut from Martha Stewart All Occasions, to give the inside a little something.

I'm almost finished with a big banner for the next Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge. I'm so excited to show it to y'all! Hopefully I'll be done with it tomorrow.....

I have a website where I "sell" some of my crafts, such as my flower bouquets and jewelry I've made. I put quotation marks around sell, because I haven't sold anything! lol. So, I'm thinking I may move my blog over there. I use GoDaddy.com and it is soooooo much easier to navigate. Plus, I can make it A LOT prettier than this monstrosity, lol!

Until next time!
