End on our blog to find out what the big cheese..er PRIZE is! 


I'm so excited to be part of this blog hop! I had such a great time making Valentine's/Love themed cards using the eCraft!


I had these super cute cuts from the eCraft to work with....


I went through my paper and this is the stack I came out with that had a love/Valentine's theme.....
I have way to much paper :) 


I finally decided on 4 different papers made by Pebbles. It's from their Fresh Goods line. I'm OBSESSED with it.


Here are the cards I made with this awesome vintage looking paper! 

The most impressive cut from the eCraft was this "Always and Forever" it's so delicate and dainty but it was cut out PERFECTLY. Not one single snag in the paper. P.S. The yellow hexagon print is on the back of one of the Pebbles papers shown above. 

Normally I wouldn't think of blue with Valentine's Day but I love this! I used a Martha Stewart punch on the blue card stock. 

I really love the pennant banners on this paper and the cute little birdy! I was most impressed with how clean the eCraft cut the middle circle out. With other machines I've used, the detailing on the edges doesn't cut out this nicely.  

Isn't this little birdie so dang cute? The stamp is from My Pink Stamper

It's impossible to tell from the photo but the paper is actually embossed a little bit, it looks really great in person with the 3 cuts from the eCraft on top.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my card pack that I made using the eCraft as much as I enjoyed making it! It was so much fun and so easy.

But now I must send you on your way to your next stop....

Hop over to: 

I must remind you that there are going to be giveaway's along the way so don't skip! And I hear that one of the giveaway's is BIG! Like eBosser BIG. Oops :)
