Wordle Valentine

Anyone playing Wordle every day? The hubs and I do. This is a fun card anyone could personalize especially if your Valentine's name or nickname has 5 letters. There are many love-type words with 5 letters such as honey, cupid, crush, flame, bride, adore, loved, heart, hubby, groom etc.

Here is my Design Space FILE but I accidentally used rectangles instead of squares so I had to be extra careful lining everything up. It's not perfectly straight but I'm very happy with it and I know the hubs will love it!

Bernie Sander’s Mittens

The hubs and I have been laughing all week at the many Bernie Sanders memes. Therefore, I knew I needed to make him a "Bernie-type" of Valentine this year!

This free mitten SVG is actually an earring design posted by Amy Romeu. I cut her fabulous design in cardstock rather than leather and added my own sentiment.

Pop-Up Cactus Valentine Cards - Design Space file included

Our daughter loves succulent plants so I knew I wanted to make cactus pun valentines this year! These cards are for the kids and the hubs.

I have wanted to start creating and sharing files with my Scrappy Explore Peeps. I have been using shared files quite a bit recently and appreciate all the work that goes into making them. *Trumpets blaring* My first file.

Cactus Valentine Card File

All of these cuts are from my Access Subscription. The sun is different in the file because I accidentally used a licensed image.

Valentine for the hubs

This is a clean and simple card you can make for your true love! I had a free cut file shared on facebook of a heart beat with a maple leaf in the center. I used my Design Space app to slice out the middle of the EKG. I then welded in my husband's name. I played with a few fonts to find one that looked right but decided on a plain non-cursive one. Easy peasy!

Valentine box card

Happy February! Here is a card I made for my grandmother. I used a simple box card file and just filled it up with love! Now we shall see what Canada Post thinks about this card and what my postage will be. Eek! *Update* Postage was $1.90 within Canada.

Have a "love"ly day!

Valentine for the hubs

Eek. The hubs is at work and I am making him a quick valentine card. Nothing like leaving things to the last minute.

Have a wonderful Valentines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope everyone one is having a lovely
day. Do you still have valentines to create today? My kids chose (with Mom's guidance, of course) the quickest valentines to make ever!



Moustaches are all the rage in middle school this year. Did you know that there is a moustache on the Paperdoll Dressup Cricut cartridge? It's one of the creative features for the pirate paper doll. I just thickened it up a bit with my Gypsy so I could pierce it for the lollipop stick.



The lips are from the Indie Art Cricut cartridge - blackout feature.
So quick to make with no layers!


Here is my valentine for the hubs - inspired by Pinterest and by my Girl Guides who hand-stitched felt hearts this week. I hope he doesn't need that page from the atlas...



Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentines Day!

My children were very predictable for their valentines this year. My daughter is still into penguins, therefore we designed this little guy together.

My son is still a huge hockey nut and our entire city is still quite enamoured with having an NHL team. His valentines are a little more masculine but fun.

These were great to make with my kids although I wish I had started sooner than yesterday afternoon...

Have a wonderful day!

Love Banner

Here is the banner I have been working on for our fireplace. I love how it turned out!

I used all old paper that I had on hand and used a few different Cricut cartridges. The font is Winter Woodland. Most things are cut from Sweethearts. The backgrounds are from Gypsy Wanderings. The stamps are by Martha Stewart.

The gems and fabric hearts, I bought at the Dollar store. This entire decor element came to a whopping total of $2.

I used a hot glue gun to add ribbon hangers to these heart ornaments. The twigs are spray painted red.
I am entering this banner at Fantabulous Cricut Their challenge this week is to "put a heart on it".
The next challenge site that I am entering at is More than Favors. Their challenge this week is "love is in the air.
I am also entering this at Frosted Designs. They would like you to use ribbon or twine this week. I loved poking through my ribbon stash for this project!
Paper Playtime is the next challenge I followed their challenge is hearts/love.
At Decorate to Celebrate they are challenging crafters to create something for a Valentine's party.

Thanks for looking! Have a "love"ly day!

Quick Graphic 45 LO and kids Valentines

This layout was so quick to make using Graphic 45 paper.

To create this page, all I did was hand cut around the elements of the paper I wanted to show. I then inked all my cut lines to cover the white core. I slipped my matted photo in my cuts, and cut a tag with my Cricut to match the title on the paper. I had to stickle Dorothy's shoes to make them look authentic and tada! (My daughter was such a cute Dorothy.)

I am playing with Valentines this week. I will be teaching a children's scrapbooking class and I am planning on creating some Valentine cards. These are my first 4 ideas.

I decided to cut up one sheet of 12X12 cardstock to make 8 - 3 inch Valentines. I guess I better get busy making the next 4.
Have a great day!

Classroom valentines designed by my kids

My daughter loves her Paisley cartridge and knew exactly what she wanted to give to her friends this Valentines Day.



My son opted for this one eyeball look. The puppy is from the Sweethearts cartridge.



My son wanted "cool" cards for the boys in his class. The skull is from the Life is a Beach cartridge.



Whew! They are done. Next year, I'm buying the cards...

Valentines Day

I have a borrowed Hello Kitty cartridge that I have been using for almost every card I have made this month. She even seems work for valentines. This is the card I sent to family this February.
