Happy Valentines Day

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a couple of cards to share with you. I couldn't decide which one I liked best for the Freshly Made Sketch challenge, so I'm sharing both with you. I used one of my favorite Iron Gate Stamps sets along with some washi tape from my stash and some hearts from Stampin' Up.

FCCB Queen of Hearts Challenge

So happy you stopped by today:-) This week's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge is all about Hearts! I used the Better Together Imagine cartridge to create this 5.25 x 5.25 layered card.

I used a square shape installed in the Imagine and four 2.5" squares. I made two the striped background and the other two the damask background paper. These were layered on a cream card base. I cut the tag shape, heart, and LOVE separately so I could "pop" them up with foam adhesive for added interest. Of course, I needed a little bling so I did a little Stickles on the "O". I finished off the card with a vintage pink button on some of my hand dyed seam binding ribbon.

Please make sure you stop over to the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to find out all of the details about this weeks challenge. You may also want to visit the other fabulous DT blogs to see their inspiration projects.

FCCB Challenge - Man's World

Happy Monday crafters! I am so excited to tell you that this week's sponsor is one of my very close friends. She has created and produced her own line of clear photopolymer stamps. They are just fabulous! I just can't say enough about her creative talent. You may have seen some of my projects in the past utilized some of her fabulous stamps. She sells them along with other paper crafting supplies at her store, Iron Gate Stamps. This week I used her Fortune Cookies set for the sentiment and border and her soon to be released, Birthday Wishes set for the mustache.

I cut the cupcake out at 3" from the Something To Celebrate cart. I embossed the red background layer with the Cuttlebug Houndstooth folder and the black flag with the Polka Dots folder. The cardstock are scraps. I used Candy Cane Stickles on the heart. Yes, I know this isn't exactly "manly", but I thought it needed a little sparkle:-) I punched a hole in the cupcake in order to insert a toothpick with the HVD banner attached to it.

Please make sure you head on over the The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to see the other DT's inspirational projects as well as the challenge rules for this week. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Valentine Cards

Well, it sure feels good to be back in my craft room:-) It's been over a month! Time flies when you're attending to family activities.

I saw this fabulous valentine idea on My Craft Spot. Kimberly did a super cute frog tag that fit perfectly in the bitty Whisker Graphics bags. I copied the one she did to use for the girls in my son's class and then did one of my own for the boys.

The tag is cut at 4.25 and the frog and alien are cut at 2.38. The frog is from the Cricut Create a Critter cart and the alien is from the Boys Will Be Boys cart.

I stamped the back with the Valentine sentiment and had my son sign all of them. The super cute words and sentiments are from My Craft Spot's Build A Valentine set. The baker's twine is from Trendy Twine. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)
