Over the years I have had friends over for a card party for Valentine's Day. Well we actually get together a week or two before so they can have ample time to send or give their cards they make to those they love. My first one was years ago...before I ever got my Cricut!
Last year I had a few friends over and we had a blast. I made up card kits to make things go a little smoother and it actually went a little too smooth as they finished up a lot faster than I thought they would. I have asked them if they want me to do the kits again this year and they said they do.
This is the layout I made with a few pictures from last year.
Supplies Used:
Sketch from the internet
Basic Grey Sugar Rush
Make The Cut Software
Various Cardstock
Make The Cut
Mounting Foam
Stickles
Colorbox Chalk Ink
All parts for this layout, except for the straight cut pieces of paper, are included in the files that are available for download.
The cupid had 4 layers to it. There is a base layer, white layer, pink layer and grey layer. I think it is set to cut around 3 inches and I wouldn't try cutting it much smaller because I'm not sure it would come out okay.
The heart strip is a border strip and includes a shadow. There are 3 separate hearts included if you want to pop dot a few on the border like I did.l I also inked the edges because...well ya'll know...I gotta ink everything!
The word Valentine has 3 layers to it and would need to be resized all at once to keep things in proportion.
The scallop circle and the circle that fits in it are included in the files as is the long strip with the 3 hearts.
