So In Love CTMH Card

SO IN LOVE CARD

Here’s a view of the completed card. I created this card base and the matching die cuts in my Pazzles Inspiration software. The white border is an EK Success border punch. I just ran out of time to create my own. The file set is this week's newsletter freebie.

Close up of the pretty organza ribbon topped with a gorgeous gem and stick pen from the CTMH Bling Assortment (discontinued). The So In Love Sentiment is from the discontinued Love Clusters Stamp Set. The little flowers were some Prima flowers I had in my stash.

This shot shows how the heart die cuts. They started as plain white cardstock. I then sponged some Blush Ink Pad and just a hint of Autumn Terracotta on one (right one). Once I did that, I then used the music sheet stamp from the Universal Stamp set to stamp the music onto each heart (see main photo).

This shot shows the pink panel. I used the Universal stamp set once again but for this I used the Whisper ink along with the stamp that has script type words.

I love this stamp set. You can make your own backgrounds over and over with them! Love that!!!

Puppy Love Layout

Good morning Crafty friends!
Let me be the first to wish you a warm and loving Happy Valentine’s Day greeting. May you enjoy the company or memory of those you love and have loved :-) I wanted to share a layout I created with you.

PUPPY LOVE

This layout was created using cuts from the Cricut Artiste and Art Philosophy Cartridges only.
No other cutting files, gypsy, design studio or craft room.
What I like to call straight Cricut.

Here is a close up of one of the adorable puppy piecings I created.

CWC #121: Card Outreach

It's another Wonderful Wednesday here at MyPaperCrafting.com!  We are so happy you've joined us for our weekly "Crafts With Cutters" Challenge.  This week our Design Team is creating uplifting cards for Madison's "I Feel the Love" Project.  Each month a different recipient is chosen to receive little handmade gifts of love.  Since IFTL started in June 2011 over 1,300 cards have been received from amazing crafters all over the world.  

Here is what Madison had to say about this month's recipient:  Alana is a 21 year old student who experienced a devastating loss as the result of Hurricane Sandy when it came to shore in October of 2012.  She and her family lost their home and most of their belongings.  When Alana was able to go into the area for the first time and see that her family home had been knocked down she said, "I was in shock of what I saw. It is something I will never forget as long as I live."  I can't imagine losing everything all at once. That would be very difficult. We can support Alana and her family. Words of comfort can go a long way.

Check out all the details about Madison's "I Feel the Love" Project and how you can participate on her website.

I hope you'll join us in welcoming our newest Design Team member . . . SHEENA!  Sheena's blog is called Dew Drops and Glue Dots and I am certain that she is going to be a great addition to our Team.  She has had her Cricut Expression for 5 years now and, like the rest of us, she loves it.  She also loves making cards and is a big fan of faux stitching and clouds.  Sheena loves the outdoors and flowers of all kinds.  She's also a big Disney World fan!  This is her first Design Team experience.
