#37 Don Juan - Be My Valentine Banner

Hi everyone! Here is my Valentine's Day banner have been working on the last couple days! I LOVE how it turned out!

I picked up the Teresa Collins "Timeless" line to create it with - such beautiful papers. I just love her stuff!

I created this banner for the monthly challenge at the Cricut Circle blog where the task was to create a banner with any theme using at least 3 Cricut cuts.

The cartridges/cuts I used are:

Sugar & Spice - Banner pieces cut at 5 1/4" from Black cardstock

Home Decor - Hearts cut at 3 1/4" from Light Pink cardstock

Don Juan - "Be My Valentine" cut at 2" in patterned paper (both regular and shadow font)

For the strip of paper along the top, I used my Gypsy to drag the banner image to the bottom of the mat until only the top part was showing, then pressed cut.

I added a row of stitching between the pink pattern strip layer and the black cardstock.

For the accordian fold circles, I cut patterned paper to 1 3/4 X 10 1/4", then trimmed along one long edge with decorative scissors. The paper strip was scored at every 1/4" and folded back and forth like and accordian, attached at the ends and brought down into a flat circle. If you've never seen or made them before, and would like more detailed instructions, check out youtube, just type in "accordian flower".

The hearts were sprayed with Tattered Rose Glimmer Mist and attached to the accordian circles.

The letters were then glued to the hearts.

The pieces are all strung together with satin ribbon.

Patterned Paper - Teresa Collins

Cardstock - Bazzill Basics

Flowers - Teresa Collins

Can't wait to make another banner! This one was a lot of fun!

Hope you like it!

Fairy Cupcake Card

Hi everyone! Here is a card I created especially for the challenge at Flutter by Wednesday's this week. It is Danni's birthday week so the task was to create a birthday card featuring a fairy, angel or butterfly and using this sketch:

For this card I stamped the Tilda image and coloured her with my copic markers. The cupcake was cut from the Home Decor cartridge. I ran the icing part through my xyron then put the glitter on - it works wonderfully! I used the D'Vine Swirls embossing folder. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the CTMH stamp set Nursery Bash.
Hope you like it!
