Whoos your valentine_contents of kit
This kit is available NOW thru January 31st (or while supplies last!) You can purchase this kit for ONLY $10 when you place a $35 order from our Fall/Winter Idea Book!!!! 

There are some MORE SPECIALS happening this month  J– but first take a look at the next card I created with the stamp set in this kit.
whoos your valentine_heart card
I LOVE the Artiste Cricut cartridge that COORDINATES with so many of our stamp sets!!  In this case, I used Artiste images along with stamped images in the EXCLUSIVE stamp set to complete this card!!!

I used Artiste Cricut Cartridge, page 72, the “Happy Valentine’s Day” key.happy Valentines Day key - artiste
This key is the perfect COMPLIMENT to this Valentine’s kit!!!

Here are the measurements I used...

Card Base- Shift> Accent 2>Happy Valentine’s Day...4 1/2”

Heart dollies – Accent 3...2 1/2”

Art Philsophy cartridge~~~~Letter ‘L’ – 1 1/2” >font layer

I also LOVED using our circle punch to punch out the “You’re Sweet” sentiment.  Did you notice how 3D foam tape, gives dimension to the 2nd circle I cut out and placed on top?



Take a look at this FUN stamp set!!!…
Whoos your valentine_contents of kit_stamp set
  • I created my own background of hearts on the card base (bottom right of stamp set)
  • By using the chevron stamp, I created a fun strip to accent the side of the card
  • I stamped the small heart (top middle) in Blush ink, and then rolled the edges of the heart stamp in Hollyhock ink...and than stamped it and cut it out.

COME BACK on MONDAY to see another example of a card I made using this set!!!

I RANDOM  STAMPED the background of this card with the many hearts in this stamp set.  I used blush, hollyhock & ruby inks on the blush cardstock…and stamped and cut out the owls (large-hollyhock, sm- ruby) on white daisy cardstock.



 I used Black Tulle and grey baker’s twine to complete the outside of the card. 

I decided to decorate the inside of this card…because ~ who of you realized this card, when cut by the Cricut, has a heart cut in the middle??? Check out the inside of this card!!!
