Valentine, Be Mine!

We are having another challenge over at

613 Avenue Create

and this week the theme is
 

Anything Goes w/ an optional twist to use Felt

 
 
This week my cut files (electronic die-cuts) come from SVG Cuts.
 
 
The Heart Shaped Box
 
 
I just enjoy so much that I can open it up and add any kind of chocolates I want!!!
 
 
My Card
 
 
The stamped sentiments are from Jaded Blossom.
 
 
I used My Mind's Eye for my DP and American Crafts for the solid cardstock. I used Papertrey Ink and Colorbox inks to ink all my edges. I added a few pearl embellishments. And of course I had to use a bit of felt, so I made felt roses. Some tutorials for making felt roses can be found on my Pinterest page on my Ideas to Try board.
 
Hope you enjoyed today's project.
 
And of course I would be honored if you would:
 
 Become a follower here on my blog - M. Miranda Creations.
 
Join me on my Facebook page - M. Miranda Creations
 
Check out my pins on my Pinterest page.
 
Have a Super Sunday!
 
May you be blessed!

  25. Hello Melissa...Ah, you are so sweet! First, thank you for the heartfelt comment you left in my Blog yesterday. As much as I want people to appreciate my cards/projects, I am happier when they are able to draw wisdom, knowledge and encouragement in my post for that is the heart and soul and the very reason why I create---to declare the mercy and goodness of God through His Son, Jesus Christ! I am touched! Secondly, I definitely love your projects as well. You know, I have a gazillion Cricut cartridges and very seldom do I use it. Not because I don't like using them but because I am loving the stamping effect more than the die-cuts. But seeing what you are doing, one day, I will have to spend time again with my die-cut machine and create a project using the many wonderful designs hiding in those cartridges...LOL Thanks for inspiring me too!

    Hugs and blessings always,
    JO ANN
