Mini valentines

I made some "Dino-mite" cards for my son to hand out at his valentine's day party - they turned out adorable and perfect size for 3 yr olds - 3x3!


I stamped the inside then I plan to write my son's name as well as have him "sign" them!



I used Create A Critter for the dinosaur, CTMH Art Philosophy for the card base, 3 different My Pink Stamper stamps to make the front (you're and dino-mite were separate sentiments, so I taped off and made them one phrase!) and inside sentiments and a heart stamp with versa mark ink to stamp the heart because I realized that I didn't have even one piece of Valentine's day paper in my possession and I needed to get these done, so I improvised!!  All the card stock I used was from my stash!

I'm adding some candy with these and into an envelope they'll go and ready for him to exchange at his party - I think mama is more excited about his first valentine's day party then he is!!  :)

I'm entering this into the following challenges...
Fantabulous Cricut: Challenge Me Monday #96 - Valentiny cards (create a 3x3 card for Valentine's day)
My Craft Spot: Monday Challenge - anything goes (show us something wonderful you have made!)

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Monday!

'Whooooo Loves You?' card

I've had a lot of fun making Valentine's Day cards but I think I'm finally done!

This one my 3yr old helped me make for him and his brother to give to daddy for Valentines Day!  He got to push cut for all the different cricut cuts and helped me with the glue dot roller to assemble the owl, then got bored and I was on my own to finish it!  :-)  Its my favorite one of all of them!

'Friends Fur-ever' card

Valentine's day card for a boy - its hard to figure out how to not make a valentine's day card "girly"!! So I used more oranges, yellows, and greens - with only subtle hints of pink - for the boy cards...

'To My Beary Best Friend' card

'Turtley Awesome' card

This card proved to be more difficult then I anticipated!  Because the cut sizes are based on the height, the turtle works out differently then the other cuts, because he's so low to the ground!  I didn't think much about it until I cut my turtle at 3.5 inches, like I did the other animals and he came out HUGE!  So needless to say, once I figured that out - I cut him at 2.5 inches and he fit on my card perfectly!  ;-)

'You're the cat's meow!" card

'Hogs & Kisses' card
