My 14 Days of Valentine's Day Card 9

I cannot believe that I am sticking to this personal challenge I gave myself of making 14 Valentine's Day cards. I am usually not this good on keeping up and posting but I set my mind to this and I am sticking it out. I am sharing a card I made today using my Spellbinders dies. I hope you enjoy and become a follower to get updates when new things are posted. Thanks for stopping by!

My 14 Days of Valentine's Day Card 8

Hello,


  I am back with Card # 8 for my 14 Days of Valentines. Today's card is a 3x3 card that I made using some scraps that were laying around on my desks. The inspirations for this card came from a Ditto stamp set I  picked up at Michael's on clearance. Hope you enjoy and stay tune for the rest of my Valentine's Day Cards.

My 14 Days of Valentine's Day Card 7

Good Morning,

       For card 7 I decided to do something Vintage looking, thinking of my mom as I made this card I tryed to do something that she would buy for my dad. The dark red keeps it more subtle that the traditional bright red and it also went really well with the pattern paper from the 6x6 Love stack by Recollections. I have used almost every last paper in this stack,which I usually I do not do ( I hoard pattern paper lol). I hope you enjoy the card, and see you soon with card # 8.

My 14 Days of Valentine's Day Card 6

Wow! I cannot believe I have made so many Valentine's Day cards already, I have had such a blast putting theses cards together that they have been pilling up. I guess I do not have Crafter's Block (lol). This card was made usinng the Create a Critter 2 cartridge which by the way I am in love with, I think I will end up making every critter in this cartridge in the next upcoming months. I think this card turned out adorable. Enjoy!

My 14 Days of Valentine's Day Card 5

Hey Guys!

   I am back with card # 5 of My 14 Days of Valentine's, this card was inspired by the new Cricut Circle Exclusive Cartridge Animal Antics. As I looked through the handbook I was looking for images that I could use to make Valentine's Day cards and this little fish stood out to me because of the face mask. I thought hey instead of bubbles coming out of it I can have hearts and bang the card came together. I hope you enjoy and see you soon with card # 6.

My 14 Days of Valentine's Card 4

Hello,

   I am back with card # 4 for My 14 Days of Valentine's. This card was inspired by one of those stamp sets from the $1 bin at Joann's. I bought the stamp set early last year and kept in on my desk since then, even when I moved and re-did my craft room it was still on my desk. Therefore I decided to make the card I have been planning to do for about a year.

I used my Cricut for the Pears and again forgot to write down what cartridge it came from, but if you are looking for any particular image you can use MycutSearch.com and it will tell you what catridge contains what images.

My Etsy Shop

     I decided to start my an Etsy shop so that others can enjoy my work other than my shelves in my craft room. If you are like me you would rather receive something that someone took their time to create with lots of love  than something store bought. Handmade cards, gift and even toddler drawings have more sentimental value than that 10.00 teddy from Hallmark. 

    If you are interested in any of my cards, please feel free to visit my Etsy Shop, you can find me by typing Enjoying The Bug into the search bar at Etsy.com orclick here  My Etsy Shop. If there is a card that you are interested in and do not see it on my Etsy please feel free to email me at Enjoyingthebug@gmail.com
