Valentine Layered Card

When I had my Cricut Maker, my family stopped buying cards, so if they needed one, they could just get it from my stash. Kahit na ako pa yung bibigyan nila ng card, ang importante naman yung message na isusulat so I don’t mind receiving my own homemade cards. February is also our wedding anniversary month, so I made a lot of cards for more options.

All of Me Loves All of You Tent Card 

The All of Me Loves All of You Tent Card is from My 3D SVG site, this is a shadow box but I used it for a tent card to display on my computer table. 


The following four cards are designed by Craft with Sarah. I uploaded all the SVG files on Cricut Design Space, changed a few colors, and cut.

Unlimited Japanese Barbeque at Sumo Niku

It’s been a while since we visited unlimited barbecue or barbeque restaurant, I was checking my blog, 2022 pa yung last kain namin sa Korean Restaurant; we ate at Oori and Romantic Baboy. Nagsawa and tamad na rin kami magluto kasi. Hehehe! 

Just this week, we had an appointment with our ophthalmologists and it meant, new eyeglasses again so we went to SM Sta Rosa to buy eyeglasses frames. After purchasing our frames, it was time for lunch so we looked for a restaurant. MagBistro restaurant na naman sana kami kaso sa February 7 pa daw yung next na 50% off. 

And since ang haba pa ng waiting time namin before our appointment, we decided to try the Unlimited Japanese Barbeque of Sumo Niku. Pero wala naman ako nakitang difference between Japanese and Korean Barbecue restaurant. In fact, may kimchi pa sa Sumo Niku. Hehehe! 


All Day Rate of PHP599, you can eat unlimited 7 kinds of pork, 4 kinds of beef, 2 kinds of chicken, 2 kinds of seafood, rice, side dishes, soup, and mozzarella cheese. 


Before we enter, the staff informed us na hindi available yung Japanese Kurobota Ham but we still ate kahit kulang ng isang meat. Sayang lang kasi konti lang yung meat from Japan tapos kulang pa. 


To place your order, just fill out the order slips. We ordered all the side dishes and for meat, we only ordered pork and beef. We tried the US Premium Beef Teriyaki Sauce, US Wagyu Beef, U.S. Marinated Beef, Chuck Eye Steak, Kurobuta (Japanese Black Pork), and Black Pepper Pork Belly. I also added rice and miso soup. 




Service is fast, nadedeliver naman agad yung order. I was slightly disappointed lang sa cheese, kasi sabi mozzarella cheese but when I saw the color and tasted it, hindi siya lasang mozzarella. We always buy mozzarella cheese kasi because I like the creamy and milky flavor and yung stretchy when melted. Hindi ganun yung cheese na meron sila. 

Anyway, customers can stay strictly for up to 3 hours only but we were done eating in less than an hour.

Lunch at Kuya J Restaurant

Last month, my friend sent me a message, informing me about the 50% off Set Meals of Kuya J restaurant and I told her, wala na si Echo diyan. Hehehe! Feeling naman lagi nasa restaurant si Jericho Rosales


A few weeks later, my husband and I had lunch at Kuya J and availed of the 50% off Set Meals. There are three choices, and we chose the cheapest set, Set C for PHP600. The set includes Grilled Pork Belly, Sinigang na Bangus, Crispy Pinakbet, Kakanin Trio, Plain Rice Platter, and Iced Tea Pitcher. 


While waiting for our food, we were surprised kasi may complimentary snacks na pala ang Kuya J. 






The meal is good for 2-3 persons and we thought, hindi namin mauubos yung food pero naubos pala namin. And my husband ordered Halo-Halo PHP68 pa kasi 50% off din. 


So far, kada visit ko sa Kuya J, paiba-iba yung menu nila pero sobrang sulit yung 50% off Set Meals.

Valentine Coloring Cards

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching so it is time to make cards. Insert card was my favorite project when I started to explore my Cricut Maker. I can no longer count how many insert cards I made over the past few years. 

But now, I am into coloring and converting my insert cards into coloring cards. I started doing this last year when I made my Teacher’s Appreciation Cards and Christmas Cards.

Materials and Tools: 

Cricut Maker 
Cricut Pen Cardstock 
Ohuhu Markers 
Glue 




I am joining the Cricut Philippines Made with Love and Cricut Challenge and submitted the Butterfly and Flower Cards as my entry.  Check my IG Reel. 

A few years ago, I purchased the Butterfly and Flower Card Bundle but if you have a Cricut Access Subscription, these designs are available on Cricut Design Space. I shared them on my profile, just in case you want to recreate them.

I made the Valentine Insert Greeting Card last year but now I changed it into coloring cards. 


These two Valentine’s Cards are designed by The Bearded Housewife. It is part of the Made with Love Summit last year. These two are insert cards too but I changed it into coloring cards.
