I Love You Valentine

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been some really hard times for the past couple of weeks. My Mom has been very ill and sadly she spent her 87th birthday on Sunday in the hospital. She entered into Glory Land Thursday night. I am missing her so much but I am thankful for all the time we had. I have the promise to be together again.

This card measures 5" x 7" and is cut from Recollections Valentine's Day paper pack. I was able to play with some of my new Anna Griffin products.

Cricut Cuttlebug:
Anna Griffin Mix and Match Cuttlebug Set - Oval Scroll Frame and I Love You Die for the pink insert.
Anna Griffin Woven Daimonds folder - Used on the pink strip

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna Griffin Vintage Florals - These are Print and Cut images. Carolina 1 is cut 1.75" wide x 1.22" high. Carolina 2 is cut 2.16" wide x 2.4" high. I love the looks of the flowers.

Inside the card.

I used the Insert Shapes feature in Cricut Design Space to cut the 4" x 4" square for the inside of the card.
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - The sentiment For My Valentine is written on the pink square using the Cricut Midnight pen.
The heart and bow are Anna Griffin images that were left over from another project. I did not record those sizes.
