Welcome to our Sweetheart Blog Hop!
If you have come from Tracy at "Craft Junkie Too" then you are in the right spot. However, if you just happened to come and check out my blog, then you will want to start at the beginning at Georgina's blog as I am last on the list and you don't want to miss any of the wonderful projects and candy along the way. :)
For the Blog Hop we were to create some kind of Valentine project and I decided I really wanted to focus on making some kind of "more manly" Valentines as I always seem to make mine way too girly for the men in my life.
My project is a Valentine Gift Card Set.
This is the box I made to hold the cards.
This is not a Cricut cut. I made it using my Martha Stewart score board. I got the directions off the Internet some time last year but I can't remember from where. Sorry.
Here is my first card. I used the Handy Man Lite cartridge for all the cards. I cut the image at 4in.
For this card I cut this image at 3in
Here is the last card. The box I made will actually fit 5 cards but I didn't get around to the last 2 due to a couple of my kids getting sick. :(
I hope you enjoyed my project and have a great day! :)
I do have a bag of goodies to giveaway for blog candy but I am going to leave it a surprise. To be entered to win all you have to do is leave a comment with a way for me to get in contact with you. I will use random dot org to pick the winner on Monday Feb. 7th.
Here is the Hop list:
