Whew! I'm finally feeling better after nearly 3 weeks of fighting the worst chest/head cold that I can remember ever having. I hate being sick 'cause my creativity gets congested too. The first thing I chose to make is a card for my husband since tomorrow is Valentine's day - especially since our 14th anniversary was Jan. 29th and I wasn't able to create anything for him for that.
Here's a scan the card front. I've also uploaded several other shots of the card - opened and some details - into my Cricut Projects and my Stampin' Up! projects albums. The (retired) "cherish" rub-on and all of the papers are Stampin' Up!: Textured Riding Hood Red and textured Chocolate Chip, Candy Lane and Riding Hood Red designer series papers. I also used the Stampin' Up! Eyelet Border punch and the Heart to Heart punch. I used my Cricut with George/Basic Shapes cartridge to cut all of the other hearts. I could have used the Full Heart Punch for all of the medium sized hearts (striped center front heart and inside), but I used the Cricut so I could shadow them using Chocolate Chip. This card was a lot of fun to make and my husband lovesit. I have to mention though that I got the general design from the latest Cricut Chirp newsletter. (In case you belong to the Cricut Community, here's the link to the card that was my inspiration.) I put my own spin on the card. Oh, the stamp I used inside I bought probably 12 years ago and I have no clue who it's by or where I got it.
OK, that's it for now. Happy stampin' and paper crafting, Michelle
