Cricut Cartridges

Monday, January 28, 2013

I am just crazy about red and white for some reason this month.  While I was on a roll making Valentine cards with the Martha Stewart punch around the page punches I decided to make this cute little card and use the last of the red roses left over from the Valentine cards.  Isn't it adorable?   Designed the girls so they look like redwork.  The little 'Always forever' that you see the the left of the card is actually an envelope that holds a 3x3 inch notecard, both dies from Creative Times, makes up real fast and is super cute!!  Thanks for looking, have a great day.

 Sorry have been away for so long.  Life happens and sometimes the computer has to come last.  This is the card I am making for Valentine's Day this year.  What do you think?  It is just under 6x6 inches, used Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page punches for the outside, Creative Times die for the open heart.  Then for the small doily I used a die from Cheery Lynn Designs (very intrict dies but they cut great.)  The die for the rose is from Creative Times.  I just started making paper flowers and you have to be ready to practice!!  The first 2-4 I made I was ready to give it up but this 5th one turned out wonderful and each one since has been great.  So if you are new at paper flowers watch some youtube videos and keep trying.  It is well worth it!!
Close up of my paper rose.  The leaves are a punch from Martha Stewart.  I started to put Stickles Glitter on it and accidently picked up Glossy Accents and love the 'dew' effect that it made.  One mistake I won't regret later.  Have a great day and will try to post more as I start my crafts for the New Year.
