JustRite Love is Thread that Binds

Hello again...I did get to play a little yesterday! LOL not real sure if I am liking this actual card but I do love the heart mat that I used. I created it in Make the Cut and cut it and the mat with my cricut. I also created the arrow from shapes in Make the Cut. My image is from the JustRite set Stitched with Love. I cut the image and the border out seperately with circle nestabilities and pop dotted the border so there was a little more dimension. I took a Krylon Silver Leafing Pen around the border of the image as well as to bring out the word Love.  I thought it would be nice to tie in some stitching to the card since the border talks about the "thread that binds" so used a Sew Easy tool to puncture my stitching holes and use some 1 MM silver thread from Pizzazz Aplenty to outline my card...the bow and rose are also from Pizzazz Aplenty. I hope you are enjoying my creations as much as I am enjoying creating them! Once I am sure my mtc files are perfected, I will be sharing them here on my blog so if you are interested, please come back from time to time. Well I am off to work today...we have a winter storm coming tomorrow...our area could get up to 15 inches of snow between noon on Tuesday through 6 PM on Wednesday...I am a true snowbunny...love love love the white stuff and am NOT tired of it yet! And MAYBE I might get a snow day! Well, thanks so much for stopping in to see me...please leave some love, I enjoy hearing from you. Have a great day today!

HUGS!

JustRite meets Make the Cut

Good morning again! I really was not sure I would get back this weekend but I had some great play time yesterday! I am one happy camper...got to play with my JustRite stamps AND my cricut using the Make the Cut software! I am just having a blast. Today's cards image is from the JustRite Stitched with Love set...colored with copics and cut out and embossed with the circle nestability. And for the base of my card and my mat, I created that in Make the Cut! I learned a new technique from Beanie...go here for the tutorial...be sure to look around while you are there...she has lots of cute ideas using Make the Cut software. Thank you Beanie for the tutorial! If you are interested in my mtc file I will be more than glad to share it with you...just drop me an email...I don't have it saved as an svg file yet but will do so if you would like it in that format. Now...for my bling...that's right a girl has to add the bling....I used an 8MM pink brad from Pizzazz Aplenty...the flatback pearls are also from Pizzazz Aplenty however, they were white...I colored them with one of the copic marker colors that I used in my image. And last but not least, I embossed the card base with an A7 Cuttlebug folder. Those A7 folders sure come in handy for the larger cards. This card measures about 4.75 x 5 so I am going to have to make my own envie for it...but that isn't hard to do! Well I hope you are having as awesome of a day as I hope to...off to do some more playing so hopefully I will have some cards to show you through the week. Thanks so much for stopping by to see me...I will be by to see all of you who leave me love a little later in the day today!
HUGS!
