Hearts and Arrows

Valentines day is just around the corner.  Yesterday I made my first Valentines card!  This was a quick one with help of my cricut!   I used sketch #98 from Retro Sketches for this card for this Friday Mashup Challenge Card.



I stamped the background with a stamp from last year's special, Whoo's Your Valentine with Juniper Ink.  The arrow and hearts were cut using the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.  




  • Create a project using the Colors "Coastal Cabana, Real Red & Crumb Cake." (I used Juniper, Cranberry & Kraft)
  • Create a project using "Hearts & Arrows. "
  • Or Mash it Up and create a project using "the above colors along with Hearts & Arrows."

    • Retro Sketches #98


    I'm also entering this into Curtain Call's Love Letter Challenge

      I love how you used the sketch, with little hearts in the background and Kraft paper in the front. Lovely little heart and Valentine additions. Thanks for joining the Friday Mashup this week.

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
