Heart-Shaped Cut Out Card — A Plan Comes Together

Heart-Shaped Cut Out Card — A Plan Comes Together

I’m back this week with another card creation, and this time I combined an original cut file with a Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I love it when a plan comes together.

As soon as I saw this week’s challenge sketch, I knew I wanted to create a heart-shaped cut out card and that’s when I got the idea to create a whole card base in Illustrator, convert it to a svg cut file and let my Cricut machine do the rest.

The base was made with pink card stock and the cut file below, and the other patterned papers are from the Pebbles “yours truly” collection. I hand cut a burlap heart and layered it with a premade heart embellishment and coordinating tag. With a little pink ink around the edges and a few pieces of mini bling, this card was finished. I didn’t add a sentiment because I didn’t want to limit the card to a certain holiday, but I can always stamp in a greeting at a later date.

Oh my goodness, I spent an entire week cleaning up my craft room and since it was so nice and tidy I decided to whip up a little “Hey Pumpkin ” card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

Sketch Challenge Salute to a Special Teacher

Sketch Challenge Salute to a Special Teacher

Another school year is finally winding down and that means we have to cram in all sorts of spirit weeks, field days, special celebrations and, of course, teacher appreciate day. I have a suspicion that a lot of these events are probably just fluff to get the students and especially the teachers through the final weeks of school, but I can definitely get on board with teacher appreciation day (or week, if you are in our district) because the thought of having 25 of my sons in one small square-shaped room for any length of time is just plain exhausting. . . and I think he is actually a good student.
