Hello everyone, Happy 2013! This is my first post in a while and the first one of the new year as Greg was on vacation from Christmas eve till yesterday so I was enjoying spending time with him over Christmas and new year so last night and today I made his Valentines Day card which I realised is only 6 weeks away! I am really happy with how my card turned out. This was the first time I have tried a pop up card so I used my Cricut Artiste Cartridge to cut out both the card and the pop up insert at 5 inches. I used red for the card and a tartan plaid for the insert. For the front I layered black and then red which I put through my Cuttlebug dots folder. I cut out another smaller square of patterned paper to go on that. I cut the heart out at 3.25 inches from Artiste from another plaid paper. I used a stamp from a set I bought from Verve Stamps last year, I saw this particular saying and I knew it would be perfect for Greg's card, I just love the saying and it's very true for me with Greg. So I stamped this on some pink and cut around it with my fancy scissors my mum and dad got me for xmas. I had a precut little banner from a sheet from Pebbles Inc that I got ages ago so I cut this out and used rub-ons for the "my valentine". I added 2 small heart buttons. For the inside I added a strip of ribbon with cute little love birds on it and used the same stamp set to stamp the greeting. I know Greg will love this card and we love Valentines Day so I'm looking forward to giving it to him!
I love the card and specially the stand up LOVE inside, very, very nice, Lesley.
