Wish Big!

I have been on a Create a Critter craze lately! I just can't help it though the cuts are so cute and the layers are so easy to put together. This was a very last minute card I put together last night, I thought I had until the weekend but the birthday girl decided she wanted to go out for drinks last night instead. So I kept this one as clean and simple as possible, it only took me 15 minutes from start to finish!

What I used:

• Autumn Leaves 5x7 in white card and envelope
• various card-stock colors and scraps
• Scrappy Moms Simple Sentiments "Wish BIG!"
• Cricut Create a Critter  (hippo)
• buttons

a "simple" valentine

By "simple" I mean plain, this card was not simple by any means (although it should have been). I used a textured paper that I loved when I found it but my cricut just would not co-operate. After changing all my blade settings, mat and eventually the actual blade, I was left with a big mess and ONE itty bitty little piece of vine that cut without any trouble. So my original plan changed quickly and my hubby got my least favorite card to date. This is the simplified version of the card I originally envisioned.

What I used:

• Autumn Leaves 5x7 in white card and envelope
• various card-stock colors
• Momenta All Through the Year Paper Pad (exes and ohs)
• Ditto red glitter glue (heart)
• Scrappy Moms Love Notes "my Heart belongs to you"
• Cricut Create a Critter 2 (monkey, vine and heart)
• clear gel pen for hairline
• EK Success corner rounder punch
