I am so excited to be teaming up with some other amazing Crafty Cricut Bloggers where every day this week (today January 8th through the 12th) we will be sharing with you awesome DIY Valentine Projects that you can make with your Cricut Crafting Machine!!!

For my first Valentine DIY project of the season, and as my contribution to this fun Valentine's Cricut Project collaboration I decided to make a fun "Be Mine" Banner.  I designed this project completely in Cricut Design Space to make it that much easier for you to make.

Materials Needed

• Cricut Explore Air 2 (or other Cricut Cutting Machines that work with Design Space)
• Design Space Canvas for the "Be Mine Banner"
• Strong, Standard Grip Mats
• Fine Point Blade
• Essential Tool Kit
• 5 (12x12) Sheets of White Linen Cardstock
• 1 (12x12) Sheets Light Pink Cardstock
• 3 (12x12) Sheets Dark Pink Cardstock
• Cuttlebug
• Damask Brocade 5.5x12 Inch Cricut Embossing Folder
• Glue Stick
• String or Ribbon

Instructions

• Open the Design Space Canvas for The "Be Mine" Banner

• Click the Make it Button
• Set the dial to Cardstock and load the Cardstock on the standard grip mat and start cutting.

**I cut the bottom layer out of white cardstock, the middle out of dark pink cardstock, and the top designs and letters out of light pink cardstock...

• Carefully peel the mat from the cardstock and use the spatula and weeding tool for the more delicate design cuts.

• Using the Damask Embossing Folder and the Cuttlebug, emboss the Middle (or Dark Pink) Banner pieces.

***You do this by placing one of the B plates on top of the A plate. Then lace your cardstock Banner piece inside the embossing folder and place that on the A & B plates with the final B plate on top. Then just feed the stack through the Cuttlebug using the side handle. Honest, y the whole process takes only a few moments.

• Glue layers together with glue stick
• Hang with string or ribbon.
• Enjoy!!

I just love how this banner turned out. I love even more how easy it was to make thanks to my Cricut Explore Air 2 doing all the hard work allowing me to have quality decorations that are also budget-friendly.  Yes, It was the perfect start for my Valentine's Day Decor this year.
