Cooking with Cricut Challenge #83 - Bling it On!!

Hello everyone, hope you're having a creative week! Here is another challenge from all of us over at COOKING WITH CRICUT !  This week is all about things blingy! :-)  They say that diamonds are a girls best friend so we created projects with bling on them to inspire you!

I decided to pull out my Art Philosophy cartridge from CLOSE TO MY HEART and it never disappoints! If you would like to know more about the bundle that has the Art Philosophy cartridge in it, CLICK HERE!


I started with the bag on page 23 of the cartridge handbook and cut it at 6.41".  The filigree frame cut is on page 67 and was cut at 2.88". Lastly, the "J" was cut at 1.94". 


Here are a couple of close-ups. I tried to show off my glittery paper but it is really hard to show on camera! 





Now to the really fun part - add the bling! I added as much as I possibly could without going overboard! Haha! I don't know...... maybe I already did! :-) 

As a finishing touch, I tied some ribbon through the handles to complete the look!

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to head over to COOKING WITH CRICUT to play along in our bling challenge and link up your own creation for a chance to win a prize!

Hello everyone and welcome to the "Be My Valentine" blog hop!! This is the first blog hop that I have had the opportunity to participate in and I've had so much fun!   If you arrived here from  Macy Bella Designs  then you're on the right track.

I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the front of the ca

Think Spring Blog Hop

                                Welcome to the THINK SPRING BLOG HOP!!  You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented  Crafty Baskets  !  If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at  Creations With Kathryn  . She is our wonderful host for this hop!  On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.  What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!   I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack. (I think this stack was from last year or maybe even the year before! :-) I'm just finally using it! )  The paper flowers throughout are from the 3 Birds Pretty Petals collection.  Read to the end of this post to find the link for the next blog to hop to and for my blog candy! This is a pic of an open page. Now for my blog candy!!  Just leave me a comment on this post with a way to contact you -

My Pink Stamper Challenge

My Pink Stamper has posted a challenge today to any and all who would like a shot at being on her design team! My project needed to use a favorite Cricut cartridge and the colors: pink, green and brown and another color of my choice. I used my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge and my Imagine with the Mr. Frosty pattern cartridge and Snapshot Everyday cartridges. I am going to frame this project so I can always look at my sweet little, brand-new grandson!! The mat behind this adorable picture was printed and cut on my Imagine from the standard shapes on the Imagine and the Mr. Frosty cartridge. I really like this snowflake pattern! This is a close-up of the tree and layers from page 60 of my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons Cricut cartridge and was cut at 3.5"H. I used Star Dust Stickles to make the "snow" on the tree look like it was glistening! Notice the "wood" paper for the tree trunk - this is a texture pattern on the Snapshot Everyday Imagine
