Valentine's Day Shutter Card
Made this card for my hubby for Valentine's Day. This was my first shutter card and I was surprised at how easy it was. I decided to enter it in the Cricut Cardz Challenge #60 which was to make a Valentine's Day card for a man, using any cartridge and any colors, The Cuttlebug Spot's Valentine Tri-Fold Card Challenge to make a non-traditional Valentine card and also Cooking with Cricut's challenge to make a project with a shadow. I used the DCWV Cardstock Stack chocolate cardstock for the base and a DCWV Designer Blue Jeans Stack for the card embellishment. The card was cut at 5 1/2 x 12 and after folding is 5 1/2 x 4, so almost an A2 and will fit in an A2 envelope. I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge for the heart and cut it out at 3" in the red and 3" in the chocolate using the shadow function. I don't have any Valentine's Day stamps so I just hand wrote the sentiments. Thanks for stopping by.
