CTO Challenge #50: Valentine's Day (must use a heart)

I am so glad I still have a few hours to enter this card at the CTO challenge blog. I made this card last week but didn't have time to post until today.

This card is my favorite from all the cards I made for V's Day...

I used CDS to cut the puzzle with My Community Cricut cartridge and the heart from Create a Critter.

The sentiment is from MCT and I think it goes perfect with the puzzle heart.
Thanks for visiting!

3 x 3 Valentine's mini card

Happy Monday blog friends!
This week's challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge me Monday is to create a 3x3 Valentine's card.

Such a great idea to create some mini cards because they are so much fun to make and also they go perfectly with Valentine's Day favors.

I made this little one using some paper that I download from Paper Craft inspirations Isn't it cute?
The sentiment is from MCT which happen to be this week's sponsor at Fantabulous Cricut.

The cupid cut is from Sweetheart cartridge. It was cut at 1 1/4...

Then I embellished my card with a little piece of ribbon and those little stick pins that I learn to make thanks to my talented blog friend Georgiana from Carson's Creations. She made a picture tutorial that really encourages me to make some of those adorable stick pins. I didn't have bigger pins though, so I used some small ones which happened to be exactly what I needed for my mini card... THANKS so much Georgiana!!!

I am also entering this mini card to My Craft Spot Challenge: Anything goes.
There are BEAUTIFUL projects done by the MCS talented design team for our inspiration... you won't want to miss it!

Hope you like my mini card and thanks for visiting my blog.

My Sweet love

I have always wanted to use this cut and for one reason or another I just haven't.


So this year I decided that I would make a Valentine's day card with that cut from A child's year cartridge... (It sounds like I am fullfilling my new year's resolutions) LOL

I love how this cute little card came up... I love the brown with the red and I LOVE that background paper which is from a DCWV stack that I've had for about one or two years. (There you go, I am using what I already have... another new year's resolution accomplished!!!)

My sentiment is from MCT, I am delighted with my stamp sets... who woldn't?

Hope you like my little card, and as always, thank you for visiting my blog.

I am entering this card to MCT Throwback Thursday Challenge! : Valentine's day.



P.S. i love you

A clean and simple card with a tag on it...
I love to use red and white together. I think that is one of my favorite color combination and I love to use it both in Christmas and Valentine's cards.
So to meet the challenge of The Paper Players I made this card clean and simple. Just a little bit of dry embossing and a simple tag stamped with My Creative Time "You had me at chocolate" stamp set.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

My heart belongs to you

This is a simple card I made today thinking in Valentine's day although it is not made on the traditional Valentine's colors.
The cuts are from Give a Hoot cartridge and both the outside and the inside sentiments are from My Creative Time.
The squirrel background is white cardstock embosed and inked to match it with the card background paper from DCWV Nana's Kids.
The squirrel's eye is a PK Stamp.
 Hope you like it an if you do, leave me a comment... read comments make my day brighter!

Esta es una simple tarjeta que hice hoy pensando en el Día de San Valentín, a pesar de que no son los colores típicos de esa fecha.
Los cortes son del cartucho Give a Hoot y los textos tanto del exterior como del interior son de My Creative Time.
Espero que les guste, y si es así, dejenme un comentario... leer comentarios hace que mi día brille!

I'll be entering this card on the following challenges:
- Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #38: "Let's Get Sketchy"
- Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #46: "Any Occasion (must use Polka Dots)"
- Die Cuttin Divas Challenge #48: "Squirrels"

I am in the yellow mood

Maybe it is because I've been working with yellow paper on the last days (see my previous post) or maybe because we are having some wonderful sunny days here, but the thing is that I am in the mood of make yellow cards. That is a good thing because I realize that I have several yellow papers that haven't been touched in months (I don't want to say years).
Anyhow this is a card was inspired on the challenge at My Sheri Crafts  which is to make a card/project with a clock represented.
I am also very exited because today I received my first group of stamps from My Creative Time and I just wanted to jump and make a card with them and this sentiment goes perfectly with the clock from the challenge.
I am so happy with my new stamp sets and with the quality of the product. Sure I will go for more soon!
Hope you like my card and thanks for visiting my blog.

El verdadero amor no envejece / True love never grows old

No podia dejar pasar el mes de febrero sin hacer una tarjeta con esta figura del cartucho A Child's Year... diganme si no es tierna...

Aunque perfectamente esta podría ser una tarjeta de San Valentín, en realidad la hice pensando en un aniversario de bodas. Mis tíos cumplirán 40 años de casados este mes y esta frase del título me parece super adecuada para ellos.

I couldn't let Fabruary goes without use his cut from the A Child's Year cartridge... Isn't it cute?

Although this card could be a Valentine´s day card, I made it thinking in a Wedding anniversary. My Uncle and his wife will be celebrating this year their 40th anniversary and I think that sentiment is perfect for them. 

El papel y el texto son del block de DCWV Love&Wedding.

Paper and sentiment are from DCWV Love&Wedding stack. 

I made this card for the following challenges:

Cooking with Cricut: "Something sweet" (And sure this image is sweet!)

My Pink Stamper: Black with your favorite color or colors!! (Black, shades of gray and that deep red!)

My Sheri Crafts: Challenge#44-Valentine's/Love
So Saturday Challenge #3: a project that uses just the colors black, white and 1 other color
Jitterbuggin: Black and White and Red All Over!

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!

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.

Libreta de notas

Cuando hay más de una cosa por hacer, anotar mensajes, la lista del super... qué práctico y conveniente es tener papel y lápiz a mano.
