I *Heart* U

Hello everyone,

I wanted to play along with CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge Blog this week, because I love the look of CAS cards. Its almost two years ago I entered one of my cards into one of their challenge and I received a honorable mention for it. That was my last card posted two years ago. Click Here to see that post. Click Here to see their post.

My card is perfect for Valentine's Day. I wanted my little red heart to pop so I used mostly white. 

I really liked my card but I wanted to make it a little more interesting so I add a little splash of color in the background and a couple of sequins for a little sparkle. 

I quite like how it turned out and my little red heart is still stands out. 

I am entering it into CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #108

What was used:

Cricut/Close To My Heart Artbooking cartridge

Cricut/Close To My Heart Art Philosophy

Darice Chevron Embossing Folder

Stampin' Up Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set

My Favorite Things/ Die-Namics Sequins Die Set

Tsukineko Brillance Pigment Ink Rocket Red

I hope you enjoy my card. Let me know what you think about it; Did it need the added touches or not?

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Scrapping

FCCB Challenge #125: National Tooth Fairy Day

Hello Everyone,

Its time for another challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog! This week I am very excited to be showcasing a beautiful stamp set from our sponsor Jaded Blossom.

 

Our challenge to you this week is to create a project using a tooth, the Tooth Fairy or a smile. Join us while we celebrate National Tooth Fairy Day. Remember you must use a Cricut cut on your card to be entered into our challenge. One lucky entrant will win the two stamp sets that some of the FCCB DT used. 

 The card base is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2

I think the sentiments on this stamp set are just so darling and the images stamped beautifully! I especially like the one I used on my card. The tooth on the flag is also from the stamp set; I first stamped the image, cut it out and then popped it up with pop dots. Here is a full look at this stamp set.

What was used:

Jaded Blossom Tooth Notes Stamp Set

Cricut A Child's Year Cartridge
