Love you a Latte!!

CardzTv is having a fun challenge this week: #23 Color Challenge, you can make a card, layout or project but you can only use Red, Black and White.

I had fun making this card, I thought it turned out really cute!

I started by making the 31/2" Latte from the Love You A Latte Cricut Lite cartridge, and added a heart cut from a Fiskars Heart punch. I used the Pink Cat Studio Lily and Billy Sweethearts Stamp set for the sentiment on the heart.

Then I pulled out my Cuttlebug and ran a piece of red cardstock through with the Crafts Too Love Hearts embossing folder. Added some leftover mini hearts from the Spellbinders Heart Circle die and cut a few more with the Fiskars punch.

The sentiment comes from Pink By Design Be Mine stamp set and inked in American Crafts Rouge.

Finally some Dollar store ribbon and some popdots for the Latte to give some dimension.

The inside sentiment is also from the Pink Cat Studio Lily and Billy Sweetheart stamp set.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's time to pull out those cartridges and dies and start getting busy.

I will be entering this card into a few challenges:

• Cardztv: #23 Color Challenge

• Simon Says: Have A Heart
• Crafty Ribbon: #38 Anything Goes With Ribbon

Sending A Trunk Full Of Hearts.

This week I made a card with a sentiment that I've been wanting to use for a long time, so with Valentine's Day just around the corner it worked out perfectly.

I'm going to enter this weeks Have A Heart challenge over at the Pink By Design blog. They want to see projects using hearts, stamped, embossed, cut out which ever way you like it as long as it includes a heart.

I started with the Cricut Animal Kingdom cartridge and cut out just the head of the Elephant then added some googly eyes for fun. I mounted him on some heart patterned paper from the Ever After Collection from Pebbles.

I used the Pink By Design Jungle Fever stamp set for the sentiment, embossing it in Stampendous Silver embossing powder.

The mini hearts come from the largest Spellbinders Heart Circles die from a previous card that I made a while back... I knew I kept them for a reason.

The medium sized hearts are cut from a Fiskars punch, which I then embossed with silver mini word stamps from the Pink Cat Studio Lily and Billy Sweethearts stamp set.

I love how the card turned out!

Find all those heart stamps, stickers and die cuts and get busy, then enter the challenge yourself.

I will also be entering this into the challenge over at the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog 13-4 Just Cards: Heart of Hearts. Make sure to head on over and take a peek at all the great inspiration from the Design Team.
