Card Day Tuesday-- Valentine Card

Today's theme at My Cricut Craft Room is Valentine's.

I made a 5.75 x 5.75 inch card using American Crafts cardstock as my base and as my green mat on the pattern paper.  The pattern paper is gorgeous.  I've always loved this Love paper.  My image is from Some Odd Girl's January clear stamp set release.  I used copic markers to color her.

My heart border came from Lyrical Letters and I cut it at 2.54 inches (I used my gypsy to get the correct sizing.).  I added the white dashes around every other heart with a white gel pen.  I used my sewing machine to stitch around the entire card.

Be sure to check out all the projects being posted today at My Cricut Craft Room.

Have an awesome day!

Erica's Craft Room 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop- Day Two

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop.  You should have arrived from Connie's blog.  


If you are randomly arrived at my blog, you can go back to the beginning  HERE.  Don't worry, there are not 100 blogs to view, but we've used 100 cartridges.  I used six different cartridges to make my three projects.

This fun card was made with Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge.  This Pixy and her accessories are cut at 3 inches.   I hid the face features using my gypsy so I could use Peachy Keen Fun Kiddie Face stamp.  The card is an A2 size and will be donated to Operation Write Home.  I image that some little girl will be ecstatic about getting a cute pixy in the mail from her Daddy.

This card didn't come together like I thought it would but in the end I'm pleased with the design.  The tree is cut from the Meow Cricut cartridge at 4 inches.  I ran the green part of the tree through the Cuttlebug for added dimension.  The farmer and his clothes are cut from Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge at 3 inches.  I used Peachy Keen Basic Paper Doll Face stamp and a white gel pen to his hair, hat and clothes.  I used chalk to make grass and the sky.  I made the sentiment on my computer.

This card was so fun to make!!  I used the card feature function on Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge to cut the card shape at 11 inches.  I cut the pattern paper at 10 inches and cut the ends off to adhere to my card base.  The "Thanks" is from Lyrical Letter Cricut cartridge, cut at 2.25 inches.  I used foam tape on the back of the Thanks to pop it up from the page.  The stars are from the Paper Pups Cricut cartridge, it's a part of the border feature and cut at 1/2 inch.  I used pop dots for the stars as well.  I thought this card looked like a tootsie roll.  My inside sentiment says "You are the sweetest".

Here's an close up:

Hope you enjoyed seeing how I used five different Cricut cartridges to make these three card projects.
