Handmade Valentine's Day Cards

I had so much fun making my little nephew and nieces some little Valentine's Day cards.

This little Bee is from Cricut Cartridge, Spring Holiday Cards.

The little Ewe is also from the Spring Holiday Cards cartridge.

The Cheshire Cat from the Disney Classics Cartridge

Thumper is also from the Disney Classics Cartridge.

I then made some adult Valentine's Day cards (I actually forgot to take pictures of a few of them, boo.)

With this one, I tri-folded white card stock, then measured another piece in pick for the first layer and a second piece in white, put them in my cricut and cut a heart out, then I cut right down the middle of the heart.  I used the pink heart of the inside of the card.  The embossing was done using the Cuddlebug.

This card was made using the beautiful paper pad by Graphic 45 "Sweet Sentiments" there are such lovely Valentine's Day and Easter images and paper.  This was from the 8x8 pad.

I bought this downloadable image from an Etsy store.  My husband just loves everything "Skull" and he got a real smile from this card.

Party Invitations

I'm hosting a 50th Birthday Party for my youngest sister with the help of my older sister and niece and although we had all decided to not make the invitations, which would save a load of time, I wasn't able to find any that were suitable.  The only invitations available were for wedding, graduation, child's party, and baby shower.  I ended up making the invites and for the sake of time, I had to keep it simple.  I used the Lacy Labels to cut the basic shape of the invitations (double sided cardstock)  which is really nothing more than a rounded rectangle. I then scored both sides and folded them in.  I used Ivory Cardstock for the insert with all the info being printed on my printer and then ran that through my cuttlebug for the emboss on the sides and the back of the envelope.  I cut the flower shape (Core'dinations Color Core Cardstock) using Cricut Craftroom Basics, ran that through the cuttlebug for the embossing, glued one side of it to the left side of the invitation using Aileens Tacky Glue (I've learned my lesson in using tape runners...although it say's "permanent" it really isn't and things fall off after awhile. This doesn't happen with Tacky Glue.) and then tied the invite together using a pale pink ribbon.
