Hi, this is Katie from Crafting with Katie. Today is my last day as your guest designer, and I want to thank all of you for making this such a fun week! I so appreciate all of your sweet comments. Thank you to Joy and Melanie too, for inviting me to be here this week!
So far this week I've shared projects for Thanksgiving, winter, and Christmas, and I thought it would be fun to throw a Valentine into the mix! I created my card today with the Cricut Birthday Bash cartridge, cutting the postage stamp card and coordinating square layer at 4 1/4" (it will fit in an A2 size envelope).
I pulled out my trusty Cuttlebug for all of my layers. The sweet envelopes were created with the My Creative Time Embossed Envelope die. What I stamped and heat embossed onto the envelopes are actually sneak peeks from a brand new My Creative Time stamp set that is being released tomorrow: 100% Sweetness! This is an adorable Valentine's Day set that even includes a stitched heart die, which I used to cut out my cork heart.
Be sure to stop by my blog today to see a sneak peek of another My Creative Time stamp set that is being released tomorrow. This one is a Valentine's set especially for kids, and there is also a new die that you will NOT want to miss! Emma has once again graciously donated one of my all time favorite My Creative Time stamp & die sets for me to give away (shown below): Build a Banner Kit! Just leave a comment on my blog for a chance to win!

That papertrey poppy paper is gorgeous and I love the cork heart - I wonder if we can get a flat cork like that in the U.K -I'll look into that- yet another amazing thing that the Cricut can cut. Glad that you've enjoyed your visit to Mel and Joy's blog and I'm off to visit your blog now as I've enjoyed your projects - thanks.
Oops, just realised that you cut the heart with the new Creative Time die collection but if I can't afford to get that at least you've inspired me to use cork on my projects (if I can get it here).
Really cute!! I am not ready for V-Day yet, but I'm happy that you made something to get the creative juices flowing! TFS!
I love the postage stamp shape. Your card is fabulous. Those little envelopes and your cork heart are sweet details.

OH! I love this card, so cute. I will love trying this one, thanks!
What a surprise to see a Valentine Card. Very cute!
I have that cart but have not really utilized it as most of the images are a little too "young" for what I do, but you have just inspired me to look at it differently! Since I am doing up my handmade cards for gifts I may have to do my own take on it! Thanks for all the inspiration, you do amazing work!
really like the debossing and embossing on the little envelopes and the use of cork
love this card, super cute!!!
Cleaver postage stamp!!
Not my usual color scheme, so I LOVE it! I absolutely think the details make this one adorable. So many possibilities. Thanks for another fab idea!
Katie, you made some fabulous projects this week! I love the Valentine's card with the embossed
mini envelopes and cork heart. Very pretty! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

The colors are great and the poppy paper pops out at you. Never even thought of using cork in or on a card. have to give it a try.

So gorgeous! The large stamp just looks so luxe! I can't wait to lift this into a X-mas card!
The blogging community tends to throw me in to a panic when it comes to holidays. I was never the type to plan ahead but now I get reminded of what lurks around the corner. After seeing this wonderful Valentines day card, I feel a bit panicked that I haven't finished my Christmas cards. Thanks for the jump start I needed to get in gear and hurry up and get crafting.

Is the cream paper with all the red postage stuff on it an already printed paper or did you do that yourself? Either way please tell me where I can find it!!
I loved the stamp set and tried looking for it but there's an error in the transfer. :( nonetheless its gorgeous!
