Fantabulous Cricut #269 Meets What if Wednesday Sketch J2716

Welcome back to another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge post.  The theme for our challenge this week (#269) is to make a project with a Valentine's Theme.  My card uses a decorative label cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge and a banner cut from the Artiste cartridge.  I used Design Space for cutting these elements.

Here is a side view so you can see the beautiful foil heart on the top layer.

Red, White and Blue Father's Day Card for Color Dare #148

Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge blog post!  This week's challenge colors are Cranberry, Outdoor Denim and White Daisy.  I imagine that many of you will make patriotic themed cards but I needed to make a Father's Day card last week and combined that with this week's challenge.

This card was really easy to make using Close To My Heart's Artfully Sent cartridge!  This Z-fold card is on page 40 of the Artfully Sent booklet and featured mustaches instead of stars.  In Design Space I changed the card to eliminate the mustaches by first "ungrouping" the base card and then clicking on each mustache and clicking on "hide contour".  

Here is a photo of the card partially open:
