Paper Lace Valentine

I've got a Valentine's shaped card for you today. It was made using Paper Lace 2. I welded two of the shadow images together using my Gypsy. The card is about 4 1/2x4 1/2." I then cut the inner layer twice, once in white cardstock and again in red vellum. I wanted the red vellum to be bright and vibrant, which I didn't get when it was laid on the glittery black cardstock of the card base. It looked really nice that way, just not what I was going for. I then used two Fiskars punches for the hearts. I punched the large ones from a red gingham paper and the small ones from the same glittery black cardstock as the card base. I used foam adhesive to adhere them to the card for some added dimension.

I made this card for the following challenges:

  6. Bee my Valentine. Wonderful Valentine. I have the Paper Lace 2 Cricut cartridge and have not used it yet. You've inspired me. I'm so glad I got my Gypsy replacement from ProvoCraft from when a security breach message came up on the screen. When I first got my Gypsy I did not use it because I was not sure how but a great friend, TenSGal, of Expression Avenue, helped me & encouraged me & walla I'm learning more about it & using it all the time. Had to relink my cartridges when I got the replacement and not quite done linking. Have a nice day.
