Valentine's Day Card

Alright I will be the first to say it: I tried making cards in the past and was not happy with the results.   After speaking with a friend I decided to give one more try and I am pretty proud of myself after completing the card shown below.

                  

 

Instructions: 

1) I used card stock for both the white and pink print.
2) Using a Cuttlebug with a polka dot embossing sleeve to give the pink print texture.

The cut files: 

3) Heart shape - Cricut cartridge "George and Basic Shapes" (size .75)
4) Envelope - Cricut cartridge "George and Basic Shapes" (size 3.50, Square with rounded edges)
4) Amore - French Manor cartridge (Size 1.50)

Assembly: 

Once all the pieces have been cut and set a side I embossed the heart shapes to make them pop.  Using double stick foam tape I adhered the pieces to the card stock.

Owls for a baby

I made this for a friend who just had a baby on Christmas Day.  I used owls because during her baby shower she mentioned how her theme was owls but was not able to find anything.   

Created a banner with pennants giving each one a woodsy look and added owls.  The wall decorations are made out of light weight balsam wood plaques, which I decoupage using a paper that looked like a sky with puffy clouds. Sticking with the woodsy theme I used some of the same elements as in the banner.  Drilled small holes in each corner and used ribbon for hanging the plaques. 

Really do hope that anyone that reads this enjoys trying to recreate it.   Happy Crafting.  

Instructions: 

Cut files: (Cricut Expression) 

1) Branches - French Manor Cartridge 

2) Flowers & Leaves - Flower Shoppe Cartridge

The Owls: 

Miss Kate Cutables -  Winter Owls (the file cost me 50 cents) 

I don't have a Silhouette Cameo machine but what i love about Miss Kate Cutables is that she includes a JPG file which you can print and use scissors to cut it out which is what I did. 

It is up to the individual person making this to choose the colors they want to incorporate into their creation. I was making this for a baby girl and choose to use more of the pinks and lilacs.
