love heart postage stamp card made using a Valentine Sweets Cricut Craft Room Exclusive.

Hello, friends!

Yesterday was Hello Thursday and Provo Craft released a new cartridge called Outdoor Man. There is some great word art, a font, and some really great masculine shapes. I will have a project made with this next week.

 Today's card is made using the Valentine Sweets Cricut Craft Room Exclusive. There are several great Valentine themed cuts that I really like including a box of chocolates. So very cute!

 I also used the Opposites Attract cartridge for the sentiment. It is a oldie, but goodie! It is very cheap on Cricut.com at only $14.99!

I used Echo Park paper.

elegant Peace easy Christmas card

Hello, friends!

I hope you are all having a great week!

Today I have another super easy card made using one of the file you can buy from Provo Craft. This is my favorite of all of the ones that they are selling! I chose a silver, white, and red color scheme. However, I can see this card in red and green, blue and silver, or white and gold. This is just a super elegant card! Here is the link in which you can purchase the cut: Holiday Card 17

CCR file: https://www.box.com/s/ykcu0fpwdou5sig71llx

I used white cardstock and glitter paper in red and silver.

I used a circle paper punch to cut out the red circles and glued them in place before I glued down the silver paper.

Again I added pearls to give it just that little bit more!

See you guys back here tomorrow with another project!

another masculine shirt card made using the Cricut Craft Room

Hello, my sweet friends!

I have another masculine card for you today. After I did that shirt card earlier in the week, I went searching for other masculine cards and found this one in the Cricut Craft Room. It is called Father's Day Card - Sunday Best. It is only $1.99. Now I totally did the collar wrong, but there was no tick mark on the cut. I had to guess and well, I guessed wrong. I definitely like the one from the Artiste cartridge, but this is a cheaper solution.
