Happy Valentines Day! I found the large doilies at the dollar store, and the smaller ones at Hobby Lobby. Gluing them down can be tricky, be sure to layer at least 2 so you don't see the glue bulges! I found the banner pre-made at Hobby Lobby (pieces came in a package for you to assemble, but I did replace their thread). This is definitely worth the cost, since making banners is so time-consuming. These cards are pretty straightforward, and can be done without the cricut if you have stickers and pre-cut shapes for the card's interior.

Red & Black Valentines Cards
I embossed the black card with script first, then glued my shiny red doily (hobby lobby), followed by white chipboard letters (this card was made without the cricut).
I downloaded the graphic for this card from cricut's digital store, but assembled it differently than they recommended. I cut the dinner table scene from the card, and glued it to my red cardstock. The icon for the front of the envelope was made from the cartridge Sweethearts. I attached it with a silver heart-shaped brad, and fixed it down with red-chevron washi tape. The "my valentine" & "will you be my valentine" was from a valentine's sticker sheet. Use your very best colored cardstock when cutting the table scene, as you can see, my paper teared (shown as white) since it wasn't colored all the way through.
I've made this particular card available for download here: Date Night Vday Card

Sweet Pea Baby
The pea-pod baby is a sticker, and everything else was cut on the cricut. I edged the outside with brown distress ink so the pieces would stand out more. That's about it! Wish I had more pea-pod baby stickers! May be something to make in CCR someday though...
Cartridges Used: A Child's Year (font), Just Because Cards (pea-shape), Elegant Edges (layered shape)
