[Video]CTMH Close to My Heart Artbooking Love Overlay Card

More fun, fast Valentine's cards from the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge.  I love, love, love this overlay and it's perfect for that 4"x 8-1/2" card.
Here is the cut:
I had to manipulate one of the cuts to make the pink layer.  For that, I used the Cricut Craft Room (free online program) and the "Hide Selected Contour" feature to create the pink layer below:

Here are the products I used to make the card:
I have a little quick talk about adhesives in the video so you may want to check it out.

  6. First time ever coming to your blog. And I immediately signed up for your emails. I just want to say I like way you did your tutorial. Did you record it and then go back and commentate on it? It really sped it up, and as a viewer I wasn't frustrated watching every second of every step. You have a fun outlook, I love that you laughed. AND cute card!

    1. Thanks! I do a lot of editing. I try not to have any videos longer than 5 minutes unless it's very involved and I do a lot of speeding up. Then I voice over the whole thing.

  9. Love your Valentine. I've made a few, but need to make several more. Why is it that these card-making holidays always seem to sneak up on us? We KNOW they're going to come, for goodness' sake. I'm as guilty of this as anyone. LOL'

  29. Believe it or not, I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day. I did it for the kids when they were little, but the real joy for us is our anniversary on the 20th of February. I can translate a lot of the Valentine's into Anniversary cards with slight changes. Thank you for the opportunity to win this fantastic cartridge, Joy!

  30. Haven't started yet. Just trying to get past the many birthdays between Christmas and Valentine's Day. Like the overlay. Very interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I haven't made any Valentine's cards. I actually haven't made any cards yet. Might have to think about this as a project in my son's girlfriend's little girl comes to spend some more time with us. She is about 3. If I had everything ready for her, I bet she would have fun putting a card together and "drawing" in it.

  32. Beautiful card! I haven't yet but I hope to get started this week.

  40. Wonderful card, I really like the hide selected contour but had never thought of using it like that. Thanks so much for the idea. I haven't even started my Valentine's stuff, guess I need to get on that. I really love the cartridge in the giveaway, thanks so much for the chance to win it.

  54. I have done Valentine's treats for both of my youngest grankids' classes. I will be doing cards to send with a few $$ for the two in college. Still have DH card to make. I used "hide contour" in CCR just the other day...it's a lot easier than the "hide contour" in DS. I don't say that lightly because I use DS almost exclusively! I really like the card on this post and may try to make this card cos it's so cute!

    Oh BTW I saw the cute Owl you did on one of your valentine cards from the Artbooking cartridge and liked it so much that I did the same owl (in shades of pink) for the treat packs for my granddaughter's class!

  55. Love your bonus card and I plan to make one or more like, or similar to, it.
    I haven't made any Valentine's cards this year, yet, but will be making some for my son to choose for giving to
    his lovely wife. I've decided that this year when I see cards I like I shall make them up and then have a stash for my son, or even for the occasional card I might send/give, but especially for my son.
    He is very much in love with his wife and she with him. He asks me from time-to-time to make a card for him to give to her. Is that sweet or what? He always wants the inside empty so he can write his own feelings inside.

    A tip for some of your readers -- I made a couple dozen different cards for various occasions and put them in a cigar box that I had decorated with lovely papers and embellishments and gave it to my daughter-in-law to-be at a fun Wedding Shower for her 1 1/2 yrs. ago. She loves the cards so much that she refuses to send/give them to anyone -- which is sweet and OK with me. They were made for her to do with as she wishes.
    I originally started the project because she asked me one day what a "Thank You" card is and why would anyone want/need to have one. She is originally from Eastern Europe and told me that the people she knows back in Moldova never sent "Thank You" cards because they always said "Thank You" in person. Sounds good to me, but that is why I made her a box full of cards including a number of Thank You cards. I'm sure there are other countries and cultures that have the same reaction to card giving/sending as she and her family did. Anyway, I really just wanted to share a great Wedding Shower (or any occasion) gift of a box of handmade cards.
