~This Weeks Challenge~

I Heart You

Create a project that uses a heart

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

I bought the Victorian Romance Cartridge a long time ago, because it was on sale super cheap, but I hadn't used it yet, so I challenged myself to make an amazing card with it. It didn't take long to come up with a plan, as the cartridge is very inspiring. I used a mustard yellow card base with a white layer, and the blue pattern paper (which by the way, I am in love with). Then I cut the scalloped heart using the Phrases cartridge, and the man and woman from Victorian Romance. I finished it off with the sentiment "You are my Forever," which is a stamp from the Heart to Heart set by Hot Off the Press. I love how it turned out, and that this cartridge inspires you as much as it did me.

Happy Mother's Day Card

I had these great Studio G paper flowers that I found on at Michaels. One set was warm yellows and the other warm reds. So, I thought I would make two cards, using the same concept and design, just with different colors. I cut the banner using my new Victorian Romance cartridge. Next, I made the background using washi tape, and stamped the word "mom" using the Rosewood Alphabet stamp set by Indadinkado and some ink from Stampin Up. Then I just put it all together. I popped up the banner and some of the flowers using foam tape. I really like how the cards turned out. They are fun and the colors remind me of a happy summer day.

Challenges:
Die Cuttin Divas - Flowers
Hiding in My Craft Room - Mother's Day
Mark's - Simple Salutations - Spring is Here
Exploring Cricut - April Showers bring May Flowers
Scrappy Mom's - Spring is in Bloom

I was super excited to see an email, this morning, from Cricut/Provo Craft that they were having a big sale on cartridges, and that some of the digital cartridges were really cheap. I got a little carried away and bought 3 new (old cartridges, but new to me). The best part is that since I got the digital versions, I only paid $12.00 for each of them. Yeah!!! I love a good deal. The best thing about digital cartridges.....you can use them right away. No waiting for the cartridge to come in the mail.

So, I wanted to use one of them, and thought I would make a Mother's day card. I really love how great this one turned out.

Materials Used:
Cricut: Victorian Romance
Paper: Recollections
Stamp: Inkadinkado - Rosewood Alphabet
Ink: Stampin Up - Chocolate Chip
Paper Flowers - Studio G
Washi Tape - all three designs by Recollections
