Oh yes there is a giveaway in this blog.

I am giving away a SweetHeart Cricut Cartridge.

Details on how to enter are at the end.
 
Well now that - "That" is out of the way. Here is a small project for Valentine. I decided to give away sweetheart - as of the 4 main cartridges which we can use for Valentine I love this and love struck the best . Wedding day and tie the knot comes second place to me.

Here is a simple project with Sweetheart cartridge to show you the possibilities...

 
 

and inside





Most of the shapes are from the Sweetheart cartridge. Yes Sweetheart is not just for the young but for the old too. Many images like the photocorner and the swirled heart are lovely and we have some lovely folder options too. Well I have used mine as  folder to put a gift card (inside top) in but that can be easily adapted as an envelope. The word valentine though is from Love Struck.

I use Plantin card and envelope feature most of the times. I keep some basic sizes all ready as template in my gypsy. So I just open that and first thing I do before I forget is to save the file with a newproject name. ie here I named it valentinesweetheart.gypsy. That was I make sure the original (which I name for eg as Card5dot5x4dot25.gypsy - ie the dimensions named in filename).

This card is just a simple card with no welding but just a little adjusting by unlinking the golden chain and playing with width and height so that the pink heart can outline the scalloped one and so on.  I then used gold foil pen, sharpie and souffle opaque markers for some doodling and inking.

Hope you liked the simple project. For your chance to win the giveaway - sweetheart cricut cartridge - please leave comment by Sunday midnight Central Time (leave a way for me to contact you) in this post
