Aiden's Valentines Day Card

Here is a quick card a made this afternoon for my grandson Aiden.  I found this cute little dog in the Silhouette store and it is a Print and Cut image.  I added it to my mat and sized it to fit my A-2 size card.  I wanted to cut the head twice so I used the erase feature to erase the body of the dog. No sense printing it out if I wasn't using it.  I adhered the dog to my card base and then adhered the second head to the dog with an action wobble so it will bounce around for him when he sees the card.

I had a dog bone die so I cut a bone out of Kraft card stock and stamped my sentiment and adhered it to the card as well.

I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day tomorrow and if you are lucky to have Monday off enjoy the extra day off.

Love is in the Air

Here is the Valentine's Day Card I made for my hubby.  I started with a white card base cut and scored to  make a 4 1/4" X  5 1/2" card base.  I added a pink mat cut at 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" and then added the red dotted mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4".

 My image is from a Cricut Imagine cartridge. Using Cricut Design Space I sized the image to about 3" and then unflattened it. Because this is an Imagine image it is already set to print and cut. Because of that the software allowed me to unflatten and print each layer separately just like it would on the Image and then cut it using my Cricut Explore.  I sprayed all the layers with some Diamond glitter and then adhered the layers together with foam tape.

I then took a 4" white paper doily I had and using my Ranger embossing dabber added embossing ink to the edges of the doily.  I then added some of the Ranger sticky embossing powder and heated it up.  I then quickly sprinkled the edges with a mix of Spun Sugar and Raspberry Distress glitter and allowed it to cool so the glitter was adhered to the doily.  I added that to my card base first then placed my layered heart on top.  I added a pin with a heart on the end and some small gems to two corners and applied them so they looked like hearts.  Finally stamped my sentiment with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
