February 14th card made using Art Philosophy and the January stamp of the month.

 Hello, everyone!

Today I have a frilly Valentines card today that I made using the Art Philosophy cartridge and the January stamp of the month. The best part about this card is you could pop off the focal point, add a safety pin, and you would have something you can wear!

I cut the white circle out at 2 1/2" and then stamped it. Then added the pink circle, which I cut out at 1 3/4".
I cut out the heart at 1 1/2" and the '14' at 1". Then I added ribbon around the edge as a trim. If you like this ribbon and want to get some for yourself, click here ==> Designer Red Ribbon Collection


Don't forget we are giving away a Cricut Lovely Floral Cartridge this week!



How can you win?

1) Leave a comment below and on each post this week to maximize your chances.
2) Subscribe or follow the blog.

That's it!  Winner announced on Sunday, January 15, 2012.


Thanks so much for stopping by today. Head on over to my blog today because I am giving away a MINI! Click here ==> Courtney Lane Designs

January promotions:

The January stamp of the month is called Little Reminder and coordinates with the Art Philosophy cartridge. It also has some great number and sentiment stamps! As usual it is $17.95 if purchased alone or only $5 with any purchase of $50 or more!





Also, the Rock the Block promotion continues until the end of the month for any order over $25 out of the Fall/Winter catalog for just $15 (a $45 value!). You save $30!



This great promotion comes with the blocks, holder, and this massive stamp set!

*NOTE make sure you add promotions when prompted by the ordering system. If you add promotional items for prompting the discount price will not be reflected in the total. Also, orders cannot be altered after the orders are placed. Please contact me before the order is finalized if you have problems.

Fun!!! Love the idea of turning it into a broach! If the card was made in landscape (with the ribbon going through horizontally instead if vertically, the pin may just be able to go on in advance & gives the recipient a present & not *just* a card (as if, with all that work, it's *just* a card... lol!) Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Penny said...

Dinah! The blocks are a set of 9 chipboard blocks in a chipboard tray! So fun to create all kinds of projects! I made a Magic Cube using 8 of the blocks. Directions are on Tresa Black's website. FabulouslyArtsy.com. Decorate all 6 sides of each block. Create a tic-tax-toe game, child's block set, make a wall hanging from the tray, make ornaments with the blocks, cover each side with 2x2 photos. Possibilities are endless! The huge stamp set that comes with them is a $35 freebie in January only! Order them before the promo ends January 31! :)
