A couple Valentine cards

Hello, I wanted to share a couple Valentine cards with you.  I know it has passed

but did not get a chance to post them before.

The first one is a Cricut cut/write file.  I love the way it did all the doodling

and cut out each layer to line up.  It also cut a matching envelope.

It's it wonderful.

The second one I have to share is a heart shaped card

I created in Design Space and cut with my Explore.

I imported the Bugaboo elephant image into DS and then

had the Explore print it and cut the heart shape around it.  I then colored it using my Copics.   I also had the Explore write then sentiment on the heart before cutting it out.  

I pierced holes all around the edge of the heart and then connected the holes

using the same pen I wrote the sentiment with.  This something I recently saw on Sandy Allnock's blog, it gives it a stitched look.   You can see it here in this VIDEO
And here is the inside also written with the Explore.

I am also entering this in the February Valentine challenge over at
Pink and Main Challenge blog

Thanks for stopping to take a peak.    Hope to sneak in a couple more blog posts over the next week.
