Halloween Layout using A Child's Year

All the cutouts for this layout are from the Cricut cartridge "A Child's Year". I just love the silhouette look of the images from this cartridge. I wish I could tell you who makes the paper but I bought it at a garage sale and it didn't have any information printed on it.

Just a reminder: You can click on most of the images in this blog to see them closer.

Valentine's Day Card

I made this card for my husband last year for Valentine's Day. I tried not to make it too "girly", hence the grey and black. The "love" words are a stamp. To make the heart, I first embossed and stamped the "love" stamp multiple times on the pink paper and then cut out a heart using my Cricut. Then, I cut a slightly larger heart in white. I put a foam dot between the two hearts to make it "pop" out.

Stampin' Up Valentine Treats

I made 20 of these for my daughter to give away to her classmates at school. These were made with two different Stampin' Up stamp sets. I own one set and my sister-in-law owns the other. We got together so we could each make 10 of each kind. We added the scallop piece of card stock on the back for added support so they would make it home intact.

Valentine's Day Altered Frappuccino Bottle and Card

This was a Valentine's present that I made for my daughter's teacher. The bottle is a Starbucks Frappuccino bottle. I had fun decorating and drinking the contents! I'll fill the Starbucks container with chocolates. The heart and swirl stamps are all Autumn Leaves, although I can't remember from what collection.
