A Cricut Valentine

Hello Kitty Valentine

I wanted to try making a card with my Hello Kitty cartridge for my Granddaughter's Valentine.  I wanted to make it as big as I could so she would have a nice big Valentine. So I started with the card feature and black cardstock using the “Fit to Page”  feature. It cut at 7”.  I then proceeded to cut all the layers using 7” for the size. I first cut her as she is on the keypad in black again to place on the front of the card. I did this because when the card is folded you lose the whiskers on the left side due to the fold. By cutting a single view of her you get the whiskers on both sides of her face. After cutting that piece and adhering it onto the card front I proceeded with the layers. So to cut the face, hands and feet I put white cardstock down and cut. Then the heart was cut with a deep pink CS . The last layer was the bow and nose which was cut with a pale pink CS.  I added all the layers to the front .  I used the stamp set called “Say it in Style” to stamp “Happy Valentine’s Day on the heart she is holding. To finish off the front I used my white opaque pen and did some Faux Stitching all around each section of her. I forgot to take a picture of the inside but because it was a black base I needed something to be able to write on. So I cut another full card only in white this time and at 6 3/4” and adhered it to the inside of the card.

I was really happy how it turned out. I will be trying other cuts from this very CUTE cartridge. I plan on using my Gypsy the next time to have a little more flexibility in my cuts and putting it together on the mat.

I hope you enjoy her as much as I do.
