"UR Hot" Chili Pepper Card with Cricut Fiesta

 I have been on a quest to make unusual Valentine's Day cards this year so when I saw the chili peppers on this new Cricut digital cartridge called Fiesta, I knew I was in business.  What husband or boyfriend wouldn't like this card?  LOL!  I apologize in advance for the "text speak" with "UR" instead of "you are" but it fit better on the 4-1/4" X 5-1/2" card.  I used the Cricut Feeling Groovy Lite cartridge for the font.

Take a look at the new digital Fiesta Cricut cartridge below:

Cricut Fiesta retails for $14.99 for nine images.
 I welded the words in the Cricut Craft Room. Want to know more about Cricut Craft Room, the free online design tool?  Click HERE.
 I loved the hanging chili peppers and decided to use red glitter paper for them.  I also added red brads at the end for a finishing touch.
My chili pepper has a dark spot on it - maybe it's roasting "hot" - LOL!  I know, I'm reaching here.

To get the Cricut Craft Room file of this project, click HERE.
To learn how to download and use the file above, check out this post and video HERE.


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