I have created 3 cards for our Cards for Kids Valentine's Day Blog Hop!
I created this Lots of Love Card using EK Success Daisy Scallop border punch and the Plantin SchoolBook Cricut Cartridge. I used a 4.25"x5.5" pink card base, pink striped patterned paper, and a strip of dark pink paper. I cut the hearts at 1.75", 1.25" and .75". I embossed each one with a different texture, inked all my edges and used foam to pop up all the hearts.
My second card came about as I was playing experimenting with some different sized pink buttons.
I used a Martha Stewart corner punch to add some extra interest to the patterned paper.
This third card is by far my daughter's favorite!
For this Elmo Valentine I used the Cricut Cartridges Elmo's Party and Plantin Schoolbook (for the heart balloons). I also used some twine and red Stickles and popped all my cuts up on foam for added dimension.
I have some blog candy to give away also. I have a small collection of Valentine's Day themed items. To be eligible for my prize, please leave me a comment here on my blog (you do not have to be a follower but I would appreciate if you were). If you would like to increase your chances, make a card (as many as you would like) and link it up. I will use random.org to choose a winner on Feb 10th.
