Cricut Artiste Valentine Gift Bag

Hello, friends!

Well, I have figured out why I have been so tired and did not feel like making a video. My Oncologist says I have chronic anemia and have to get an infusion tomorrow. Also, he is sending me to a Gastrointestinal doctor to see if the cause can be found. Good times, ladies. It feels like it is always something!

Now lets talk about something fun. I made this cute little Valentine gift bag which is just perfect for treats using the Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge

When you look down at the sizes, you will notice that the size for the bag is 12". I would just use fit to size on your Expression. If you cut this using an Explore, let me machine think you have a 12" x 24" mat, but you can put in your 12" x 12" mat. That is what I did. I often trick my machine like this bwahahaha! 

If you have an Explore, here is the file: Cricut Artiste Valentine Gift Bag

If you do not have an Explore, here are the sizes:
bag - 12"
rose - 4"
leaves - 1"
heart - 3 1/2"
'be mine' - 1 1/2"

Well, as Anna Rosanna Danna would say "It's always something"....you take care of yourself sweet girl and thank you so much for the adorable project today. You always care about us out here in the paper crafting world. You're too sweet. Get some rest and build up your body girlie and you'll be feeling stronger in no time. You're in my heart and prayers. BTW, received my order yesterday and right away made a card with the Share the Love stamp set using the little typewriter. Thank you Melanie for all you do for us.
