FCCB Challenge #96:3x3 Valentiny Challenge

Welcome to another project listing for the {Fatabulous Cricut Challenge Blog}

This week's challenge is called Valentiny (create a 3x3 Valentine Card).

A few of us were lucky enough to work with some of Miss Emma's (of My Creative Time ) wonderful stamp sets.

I used her 100% Sweetness Set.....Love It!!!!!

I created a Valentine Card/Picture frame with card stock and acetate (transparency material).  

I created this project in the Cricut Craft Room and will happily email the cut file to any one that would like to give it a try.  

Just leave me a comment with your email address and I will send it to you.

Here are the other supplies I used along with more pictures.

I started with my Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake cartridge to cut the front square with a heart shaped opening and then I cut a heart shaped frame from some WeR patterned paper.

I also cut a square from white cardstock and used the 100% stamp set to stamp XOXO in 3 coordinating colorbox ink colors. The flowers are from Iamroses...they were white and I used my own homemade glimmer mists to color.

I scored & folded my front piece at 1/4 " and 1/2" from each side to create the pop out frame. 

I then cut a piece of transparency material  to cover the front opening and used my StazOn fuschsia pink ink pad to stamp the adorable cupid from the stamp set.  

I used my ATG gun to adhere the clear sheet to the inside of the heart opening.  I glued the white stamped square to the back piece of the card and adhere the entire piece together.

I then cut a 3 x3 1/2" piece of  pink cardstock and used my MS heart border punch along just the top edge

I used the tiny hugs & kisses stamps from the same My Creative Time stamp set to stamp the border.

I then added black & white gel pen details. 

To make sure the pink card with sentiment on the back doesn't slip down past the card I used a scrap piece of cardstock to create a tab to keep the bottom closed.

To help the entire thing stamp up like a picture frame I used another scrap of  hot pink cardstock measuring 1/2" x 1 1/2" to create a triangle stand that I glued to the back.

When the pink card with the sentiment on the back is pulled out the base of the card can be used as a Valentiny Picture Frame.

I decorated the front with some glimmer misted roses to match the paper & some twine and a tiny button.

Here is one last look at the finished piece.

I had so much fun working with the 100% Sweetness Stamp Set from My Creative Time.  Be sure and Click on Emma's blog name if you want to check out her site and all of  her wonderful stamps sets.

I have already started making more Valentine projects with this set that I hope to share soon.

Be sure and try a 3x3 Valentiny Card and share it with us over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.

I will also be entering this project in the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog

this week they have a photo inspiration challenge and I used the colors from the picture to inspire this project.
