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!

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 -
