Valentine's Day Cards



I die-cut some more Valentine's Day cards using my Cricut.
This one was easy. I cut it out, inked the background paper, and glued it back together.



On this purple card, I used too much glue and it seeped out the side. I had to fix it by gluing a heart on top of the problem.


For the Love Struck Card, I stamped a background stamp onto the background with Versa Mark ink. I dried it with a heat tool before inking the inside card.


And then there's this one. Ugh!!
When I glued the sides down there was a lump between the two cardstocks. This is where I rolled my eyes. 
It wouldn't come apart without ripping the paper.
Great!
I cut it down the edges which removed the bulge between the card and the inked background. 
Everything was wonderful and
So I stamped the inside sentiment with black ink and when 
I lifted that stamp off the card base and the card fells backwards onto the black ink pad.
Enter four letter words.
OMGoodness! Really? 
Screw It! and I sent it out anyway. The little boy will be more into the stickers and maybe doing that with his hands than the card's F-up. The black on the wrist kind of looks like a bracelet.


The kicker...The mail lady didn't grab all of the cards I had put in my mailbox for pick up.
Sigh...
Sometimes you just can't win.

Time to wash my hands and move onto the next project.




Thanks for looking
