Valentine's Day Card

 A little bit more than a year ago, Sheri Decker posted a card very similar to this one at the Cricut Message board. At that time I did't have the Sweethearts cart but I completely loved the card, so I saved the picture and waited for the moment in which I could make a replica of it.

This week my cousin's husband asked me for a Valentine's Day card for her, and she happens to be a Chef. I inmediately remembered this card and here is my version of it. I really wanted to make this card, but I wanted it for someone special and my cousin is so close to me, so there couldn't be better person for this.
The card will be for my cousin from her husband and her son.


Woman and hearts from Sweethearts.
Stove and pot from From My Kitchen.

This is a shot of the inside.
I just tie the card with the ribbon to keep
it closed, instead of use an envelope. 

 

I used Gypsy font for the sentiment.
Spice was cut from Freshley picked 



Hope you like this and thank you to Sheri Decker for the inspiration!

Welcome to the Paper Doll Dress Up Blog Hop

Woo Hoo... It's friday! And today is a special friday because we have our Flaunt It Fridays PDDU blog hop!

If you are here from SAUNDRA's blog then you are in the right spot. If you just arrived here and would like to start from the beginning please go directly to the Flaunt It Friday's, so you won't miss any of the projects everyone made for today.

I love Paper Dolls Dress Up cart, it was one of my first cartridges and it is still one of my favorites. It is full of nice and useful cuts.  

For this week's challenge we were asked to flaunt the Raggedy Ann and/or Raggedy Andy. For my project I made 2 gift bags one for a girl and one for a boy.

Both bags were cut from TBBM and the sayings were cut from the Create a Critter cartridge. (I have to say that I love that "Happy Birthday" from CC) and of course the focal point of the bags is the Raggedy doll.

 











Now for my second project... we got to choose any cut from the PDDU cart and I chose the Super hero on page #56. I made this door hanger for my nephew who is 4 years old. His name is Valentin, and he is my daugther's best friend, so I thought we can make this for him for Valentine's day. The hanger base is a piece of wood that my daugther painted. His favorite colors are black, red, blue and yellow so those are the colors of the hero costume.The doll was cut at 2.5" and the name is from Mickey font, cut and welded with my G.

 I love candies and specially blog candies, so in honor of Raggedy Ann and Andy and I will be giving this cute Rub on Transfers.

Aren't they cute?

All you have to do to have a chance to win them is to leave a comment on this post and I will be choosing one winner next monday. But wait! I see that I have 85 followers now, so if I reach 100 followers I will be adding an extra goodie to the prize and I will be choosing 2 winners instead of one. (2 equal candies)


Remember that you have to leave comments on all of the stops if you want to be elegible to win the Grand Prize Giveaway: The Wide Eyed Kids Assortment Stamp set Sponsored by Peachy Keen Stamps!

Thank You so much for hopping with us. We can't wait to see how you "Flaunt" your Raggedy Ann/Andy this week at Flaunt it Fridays. Your NEXT STOP is at STEPHANIE

Flaunt it Fridays and Cooking with cricut challenges

Another friday, another challenge at Flaunt it Fridays... Today, Team 1 is flaunting the Lips cut from Indie Art... I am on team 2 but I couldn't just sit aside and after seeing thier projects I came up with this card.  There is a lot of inspiration at the Flaunt it Fridays blog, so hop there and join us with your own project!.

It is a Tri Shutter card and this is the one I will give to my Husband for Valentine's day.

This is a view of the card closed... (I don't know why I can't rotate it... :s)
It is hard to see by the picture, but the red rectangles were embossed with the Cuttle bug hearts blocks folder.
"SMACK" and the lips cuts are from Indie Art
"Love"  is from Sweethearts.




The Challenge from Cooking with Cricut is to complete a project with a shadow, and on this card all the Cricut cuts were done two times, one in the original feature and the other one in the shadow feature. The words were shadowed in black and the lips shadow is white.

I hope you like this card and If you feel like you
want to write, please leave me a comment... I love to read comments from my blog visitors.

I (love) you

Hice esta tarjeta hoy siguiendo un formato que Holly Hudspeth publicó en el Cricut Messageboard. ¡Gracias Holly por el formato! Además del formato, el reto era hacer una tarjeta de San Valentín para un niño(a) y usar cualquier animal de cualquiera de los cartuchos. Definitivamente para mí, "Create a Critter" era el cartucho que habia que utilizar. ¿No es tierna esa ardilla?

I made this card today following a sketch that Holly Hudspeth posted at the Cricut Messageboard. Thanks Holly for the sketch! The challenge was to make a Valentine´s day card for a child using any animal from any cartridge. For me the cartridge I must use, was Create a Critter. Isn´t that squirrel cute?

Como perros y gatos / Like cats and dogs

Es momento de un nuevo reto en Flaunt it Fridays y el corte de Cricut para esta semana es el borde del Perro y el gato del cartucho Paper Pups. Yo no tengo ese cartucho por lo que hice mi propio borde usando A Child's Year para el perro y el gato, y el zacate de Plantin School para unir a las mascotas. Como el pajarito en la pala estaba un poco perdido, lo use para que fuera la "i" de la palabra "friends" (amigos).

Espero les guste y si tienen a bien, me dejen sus comentarios... Me encanta leer comentarios en mis publicaciones.

It is time for a new Challenge at Flaunt it Fridays and the cut for this week is the Cat and Dog border from Paper Pups. I don't have Paper Pups cart :o( so I decided to create my own border using A Child's year.
I welded the Cat image with the dog and also used the grass from Plantin School to join both pets. I thought that the little bird on the shovel (who came in the original cut with the cat) was a little bit lost there, so I used it as the "i" on friends.
I hope you like it, and if you would like to, leave me a comment... I love to read comments on my posts.

Es Viernes! / It's Friday!

Otra semana ha pasado y de nuevo es momento para otro reto en Flaunt it Fridays.
Esta semana se nos ha pedido usar el oso en el basurero que aperece en el cartucho Give A Hoot.
Mi proyecto es un rotulo para motivar un poco nuestro pensamiento a la hora de botar la basura. Fue además un regalo para quien fue mi maestra de Kinder. Ella ahora da Talleres Ecológicos a niños de todas las edades. Mi hija y yo fuimos a participar a sus talleres y dejamos el rótulo para decorar su zona de reciclaje.

Another week has gone and it's time again for another challenge at Flaunt It Fridays.
For this week the design team was asked to use the "Bear in a trash can" cut from the Give A Hoot cartridge.
My project is a sign to motivate us to think when we are about to throw something to the garbage. It is also a gift for my Kinder Garden teacher. She is offering Ecological Workshops to kids from all ages. My daugther and I participated on her workshops and leave the sign there to embelish her recycle zone.
