Throwback Thursday Challenge

This week's challenge at My Creative Time was to make a Valentine's Day card. This card was completely Cricut-less! I've tried to do that before for challenges in the past, but always realize in the end that I used the Cricut for something on the card. Well, it wasn't the challenge, but I did not use my Cricut. Whoo hoo for me! LOL

For my hearts, I punched each from a 6x6 My Mind's Eye "Lost and Found" stack. I folded them in half and stitched them down the middle. The background paper is also from that stack and the edges are punched with Martha Stewart's Doily Lace punch. The red layer is embossed with a polka dot folder.  The tag is from Emma's Build a Banner kit and the sentiment is from Emma's 100% Sweetness stamp set. I added some twine to the tag. The edges of everything are sponged with Crumb Cake from Stampin' Up!  I had a lot of fun with this card.

Thanks for looking!

  6. This is a great card! I know how hard it can be to 'stay away' from products that you're so used to using. Even when I try, somehow that 'special product' finds it way into my projects! For me - it's sparkle/glitter! *LOL* From what I can see in your photo, it looks like the inside of this card is pretty great, too! Way to go!
