Square Thank You card

The challenge this week at the Cricut Cardz Challenge Blog, is:  This week's challenge is "Straight from the Heart"! Make a thank you card using hearts, and any cartridges or colors you’d like, but NO pink or red.

I had several ideas rolling around in my head, but they all involved a PINK or RED heart.  Hmmmmm. Since I'm still on a kraft card stock kick, I decided to go with kraft and blue, rather than kraft and pink.

The card is a 4.25" square card (so it fits into a standard A2 envelope with no additional postage), and the image was Cricut cut using the 'Elegant Edges' cartridge at 3.75".  I cut the top layer from a blue print, the backing layer from kraft, and the shadow from white. I hand cut a small scrap of white to attach behind the heart on the blue printed layer.

The white gems were added with my iRock tool (love that thing), and I popped the image up with foam tape. The words are a favourite Stampin' Up image. When I removed the blue layer from the Cricut cutting mat, there was a perfect little blue print heart leftover. So - I glued it to a white panel inside the card. 

LOOK what was in my mailbox this week!!  New stamps from Paper Smooches ... I won them as Blog Candy on Jenny's "Crafting In The Country" blog. She sent them to me from Britain along with this cute little card.  So fun!!
