Glitter Valentine's Day Card

The challenge this week at Heart 2 Heart blog is to share a project that you have made using glitter.  It can be any kind of glitter and any kind of project.

I'm sharing the card that we made this month in my workshops and clubs.  I used a strip of the new CTMH glitter paper in black, a black glitter button, and three bitty sparkles on the black heart to make this pretty Valentine's Day card.

 

Here is the inside of the card: 

I also used the January Stamp of the month "Valentine's Day" for the roses on the background and the sentiment on the inside of the card.  The Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge was used to cut out the three hearts.  I also added some Black Tulle Ribbon cut in half to the front of the card.  The black glitter paper is really more sparkly than it is showing in this photo.

Picture This with a Mojo Monday Twist

This week on Heart 2 Heart Challenges they are hosting a Picture Challenge.  Here is the picture for inspiration.

And here is my card:

I used the Roxy paper pack for the animal print background paper.  In the middle section I used Desert Sand Cardstock and lightly stamped the script words from Universal Backgrounds stamp set.  I cut the leaves and the little tags using the Cricut and the CTMH AP Cartridge.  I felt like I needed to add a splash of color, so I stamped the heart shape using Cranberry ink from the Love Life Stamp Set and cut it out.  I also used the Mojo Monday Sketch to make this card.  Here is the sketch:

I really had fun making this card today.  Thanks Heart 2 Heart Challenges for the Picture Inspiration and the Sketch from Mojo Monday.  Have a great day!





Sentiment-ally Yours!

Hi Stamping friends-
This week at Heart 2 Heart they are asking for you to make a project that has a sentiment stamped on it, but do not use any other stamping on the card.  I thought, oh this will be easy but I found it hard to not want to stamp an additional image on the card. 

I pulled out the new Cricut and the CTMH cartridge to help me with this one.

My Sentiment is from D1492 Christmas Love. I cut off the star image that was connected to the words.  I used the CTMH AP Cricut cartridge to cut out the plaque that the sentiment is on and the three different sized trees.  The trees are in two layers, the bottom solid layer is using Sky Blue and the top cut-out layer is using Sweet Leaf Green.   The sparkles on the trees are made with Z1313 Stardust glitz glitter gel. I used the Believe paper pack for the background papers.  I added the wide Grosgrain ribbon in white and a cute little bow too.   I also added Z1263 Bitty Sparkles to dot the "i's" in the sentiment.

Be sure to check out what other have done with this challenge at their blog.  Have a great week!



Die Cuts Challenge

This week at Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog in honor of CTMH's new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge the challenge is Die Cuts.  If you aren't lucky enough to have the new Cricut Cartridge made exclusively for CTMH any Die Cut you have will do the trick.  Or if you got to have it (and you will) you can order it here - at my website. 

I was able to make this card with the new AP cartridge thanks to my friend Laura that let me borrow hers.  She is so nice!

  I used the Shaped card at 4" square, then I cut out the cute tag with the cut out hearts.  I also cut out the ticket and then stamped on it with the wonderful new Blue Ribbon C1464 stamp set.  I also cut out the small bracket too.  The corregated star is from the new Milepost Shapes Z1464, I inked it in Vineyard Berry ink.  The paper pack is the new Typeset X7139B.  I wanted a card to match my previously posted backpack box.
