Shaped Valentine card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Valentine's Day! Today I am sharing a Valentine card made using a card feature from a Cricut cartridge. I like the pretty shape of the card and the overlay cut with the heart opening.
Cricut Cartridges:
Life's a Party - Page 62  Card feature and the mat are cut at 5" using the Cricut Craft Room. I was so surprised to see this pretty card on this cartridge! I need to take a closer look at some of my cartridges!
For some reason, I was unable to hide the little fold lines on the card. However, the lines are only slightly noticeable after the mat was glued on.
Flower Shoppe - Flower -Second image on 4th row cut 1.75" and again at 1.50". First image on 1st row cut 1.75".
Home Decor - I sized the word "Love" to fit inside the heart and did not record the actual size.
I used Martha Stewart inking around the edges. Tiny Recollections pearls were placed around the heart opening.
White Colorbok cardstock was used for the card base. Designer Paper is K&Company Kelly Panacci Valentine. I love this paper and have been using a lot from this pad. Guess who bought another pad of this same paper this weekend!! I will hoard it for awhile!!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge 83 - Spooky Time


Hi and thanks for stopping by today. Today begins a new fun challenge at Fantabulous Cricut! Challenge 83 is Spooky Time and we are to make a project with a ghost on it.
My card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock and is layered with a 4 3/4" x 6 1/4" patterned paper. The paper pad is K&Company Tim Coffey Halloween and Fall. I chose the candy paper for the background to use with my little treat or treater ghost.
Cricut cartridge is 3 Birds on Parade. The little ghost is on page 39 and is cut at 3 1/4". The green mat is cut 3 3/4" x 3 7/8" and is embossed with the Cuttlebug Polka Dot folder. I have lots of dots going on! The polka dot paper is cut at 3 3/4" x 4 and angled on the background.
For more interest, I added a strand of fibers, inking, and pop-dots. The fibers were in blog candy that I won..Thanks Theresa! I have not used any of this before so I glued it down in spots. It seems to be staying in position. I really like the looks of it on the card. If anyone has suggestions on using these threads and how to attach differently, please let me know!
Also, the little ghost bird is on an Action Wobble. He is so cute when he wobbles!
Now it is your turn to play with us at Fantabulous Cricut. First be sure to check out the great projects by the design team. Remember you must use a Cricut cut. We look forward to seeing all your amazing projects!
