I have a quick post today! (No, really!) I simply needed to enter the Fantabulous Cricut challenge this week, which is to make a mini Valentiny card! It can only be 3x3... how sweet is that? It was a bit daunting for me at first. I love minis (and all of the DT ladies did amazing), but I have never made one. I wasn't sure I could make something cute in such a tiny package. So I decided to start with a tiny creature to deliver my message...
"Tiny package..."
Inside, I thought it would be cute to nestle two seahorse sweethearts within a heart. Despite being silhouettes, I still added a touch of sparkle since they're radiating with love. I completed the computer-generated part of the sentiment and then added a Whimsical Designs stamp! The Happy Valentine's Day is from Stephanie's With Love set. I use this fantastic set SO often. Here's the rest of it! It's such a perfect set for lovey-dovey creations. :o)

You are so sweet to let me scrap lift this... Already have a card for DH (that i scrafted from someone else) but will definitely use this some time, this is so adorable. Thank you so much. I hope you have a "WONDERFUL" weekend my friend... Hugs from Ukiah
ReplyDeleteAWWWWWW!!! This is just adorable! I love everything teeny (I have been known to play super fun games with PlayMobil AND Calico Critters), so I am super partial to this little beauty. Create a Critter is the BEST, isn't it? Especially when used by a creative genius such as your sweet self. :) Love that little seahorse, and the sentiment is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAs always, Karen, you've made me smile. :)

*swims in and squishers you in giant seahorsie huggles* WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI told you my swimming skills were not very good sis...look how long it took me just to swim over here this week! *needs to take super speedy swimming lessons from Mr. Seahorsie* TEE HEE HEE!
My sweetest Sunshine...this card reminds me SO much of your gorgeous heart. Know why? Cause every day you defy logic...your tiny little sparkling heart somehow is able to hold all the love that can fit into the largest ocean on earth. That is just not human sis. Only hearts that are heaven blessed can contain as much sparkling love as yours. *hugglers you madly*
Everytime I look at this precious little card, my heart just glows. I love it beyond words, Sunshine. It is just pure perfection all wrapped up in one tiny little package whose message of love is anything BUT tiny.
*does happy seahorse swimmy dance*
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I LOVE YOU SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!
*forever super seahorsie squishies from your forever biggest seahorsie fan*
