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

Kick up your heels! ....60 th Birthday Card

This is a fun card that my mother made for her sister's birthday . She turned 60 in December but I just wanted to share this great card with you all.

The yellow base of the card was a precut 12" piece from the dollar store. She used Recollections shimmer cardstock for top and shoes and glitter paper for the skirt.

The Princess (aka my Auntie) is from Rock Princess,
I would have to say that this is my mother's favourite Cricut cartridge. The armchair is from Love You a Latte Cricut Lite cartridge.... I love the armchair and the way she put it through the Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls folder.

The "Kick up your heels! " sentiment is from the Pink by Design Rock On stamp set . I like the little details that she added like her painted fingernails and the flower bling for a braclet.

Great job Mom !
