Valentine Bouquets

Die Cuts R Us Love Challenge- Die Cuts R Us is having a challenge anything LOVE themed, so I entered this in. This year I decided to make my daughters gifts for Valentines Day...usually we just get them some candy and a stuffed animal, but they really have too much of both already:)  So I decided to make them little Valentine Bouquets..hope I'm spelling that right..lol.

I got the cardstock, vellum, heart suckers, purple glitter hearts, and vases at Michaels.  I cut the hearts with the George Cricut Cart in. The ribbon and charms were bought at Hobby Lobby..they were having a huge sale:)  I used glue dots to attach the hearts to the little sticks and glued a back heart on to finish them off.  I stuffed a little tissue paper in the vase to keep everything from sliding around.

Valentines my daughter made!!

This year we decided to make our own Valentines.  My eight year old daughter made her valentines in the shape of an owl.  These little Valentines turned out so cute, she absolutely loved making these.  Also to my surprise...Dad offered to help!! He doesn't do crafts, so I had to take a picture!! (I think he just wanted to play with my Cricut...lol)

Supplies:

Cricut

Goerge Cart

Easter Cart

Glue Stick

Tape

Card Stock

Heart Shaped Suckers

Here's what we did:

For the shape of the owl my daughter cut 4" Eggs from the Cricut Easter Cart.  Then she folded the top of the egg shape to make the face and glued it down.  We cut out a triangle to create the ears.  She used the triangles and glued them on to make the beaks.  For the eyes circle were cut at 1" with the George Cart, and then she drew in the little pupils.  The feet were cut also with the George Cart we used the Shift Heart.  I helped her cut the little slits in the bottom and we added heart lollipops for the Owls to purch on. Thanks for looking!! 

2 Sketches 4 You Challenge

Here is a card I made based on Kazan's sketch 45 at 2 Sketches 4 You. I have never made a circular card before, so it was quite interesting to figure out. I based this card off of a paper I had from K and Co. My daughter loved this paper with the little lions printed on it. This will be her Valentine:) I used my Cricut George Cart to cut the shapes for the lions head and pieced it together, I used foam squares to give it dimension. I used twigs for his whiskers and added rhinestones to his eyes, and added a little pink chalk for his cheeks. For his mane and the background I used my Easter 2010 cart. I added a little dangling heart, which now kind of looks like the end of his tail.

The wording inside is also from K and Co, I cut it off a pre-printed card that came with the paper pack. Thanks for looking!!

Paper Popsicles Love Theme

Here is a card I made for the Love theme for Paper Popsicles. The papers are all from a really cute K & Company valentine card pad I bought on sale at Michaels. The beige paper has silver foil hearts printed on it. I cut the flowers with my George cricut cart out of 5 different papers I cut them all in different sizes and layered them. I added a paper flower embellishment for the center and a rhinestone. The XOXO is stamped on white cardstock and I chalked the edges. The ribbon I also got at Michaels, I love the different colors on it. Thanks for looking!!

Cuttlebug Challenge Pocket Card

This is a Pocket Card I made for this months Cuttlebug Challenge. The challenge was to make a mostly red pocket card. I chose to make a Valentines Day card. I used red cardstock for the card, the paper on the front of the card is red with a red foil hearts. I used my George cart to cut the heart in red card stock then I layered it with a silouette cut in black card stock. The flowers on the front of the card were cut with my Easter 2010 cart, they are so pretty. I cut two of them and then arranged them on the heart the edges are beneath the silouette. The butterfly was cut from Designers Calendar and I layered three of them in different sizes. Then I added some rhinestones.

The heart is actually the pocket which holds another heart that says Be Mine, this heart is from the Designers Calendar cart, I cut two the same size and cut a piece of black card stock between them, so you can read Be Mine on Both sides I also glued a little raffia between them so that the heart could be pulled out.

The inside is three layered rectangles from the George Cart and a Sticker that reads Forever. I hope you like it. Thanks for looking!!

Valentines Day Cards

Here is a Valentines Day card my 9 year old made for her teacher this year. We used a pre-scored light blue card, the paper is a light blue pattern with red polka dots... her teacher is male so we thought we'd go with a blue card. The large heart in the center was cut with the Designers Calendar Cricut cart and the two smaller hearts were cut from the George cart. We added a couple rhinestones for a little bling and a cute red ribbon with hearts.
