Pink Cricut Link Up Tuesday

Project I made for the Pink Cricut's Link Up Tuesday.

 I found out today that a friend is pregnant with twins so I figured I would give these little shoes a try that can be found on the Close to My Heart Cricut Artiste cartridge.  

I would like to "Thank" my fellow

Close to My Heart consultant,  Nicole Robinson for the inspiration

to give these a try.

Thanks for dropping by.

Courtney's Pink Cricut Master Crafters Entry

This is the project my 15 year old daughter created for the 

Pink Cricut Master Crafter's Challenge.

Instead of doing the traditional pumpkin carving 

she decided to dress up her pumpkins a bit.

She used the green rhinestones as the eyes and some of the DCWV 

Rock Star paper pad for the little sign and arms.  I think that you can 

see the blue button that was also in her challenge kit.  She used a bunch of 

lace that we had in our stash as the dress.  Her pumpkin isn't the typical scaring

decoration but very cute.  

Thank you for stopping by and checking out 

Courtney's 

project for the Pink Cricut Master Crafters Challenge.

She would really appreciate your votes.  

Thanks From,

Courtney

Pink Cricut Master Crafter Challenge Entry

I made this wreath for the Pink Cricut's Master Crafters Challenge.

I used the DCWV Rock Star Mat Stack provided to us for the challenge.   

I also used the green rhinestones in some of the flowers on the wreath.  

Hope you can see them in the pictures.

I cut the flowers at 3" & 3 1/2" using the Close to My Heart Artiste 

Cricut cartridge.  I used the flower on page 54, 

Accent 1 using the shift button. 

I inked the edges of all of the flowers using the

Close to My Heart Slate ink pad.

I wrapped my Styrofoam wreath with black tulle.  I attached the 

flowers to the wreath using pins with a pearl head.  

I sure hope you enjoy my project and find inspiration to 

give it a try yourself.  They are a lot of fun to make.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and I would really appreciate

your votes for my wreath.  I would be honored to be 

voted the Pink Cricut's Master Crafter.  I would also like to say, "Thank You" 

to the companies for sponsoring this exciting event.

Thanks,

Cyndi Stephenson

rosettes.  I used a variety of embellishments from multiple companies.

Jaded Blossom May Challenge

I made a teabag holder for my entry in the Jaded Blossom May's Challenge. 

I used the Easter Egg from the Jaded Blossom's Bunny Poop set to create the flowers on the front of it.  I posted the directions for the teabag holder on a post below.  

Hope you like it.

I am pretty proud of myself, I am getting a little better about posting my projects on my blog. 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Teabag Holder

Pick a piece of 12"x12" patterned paper.

Cut it so it measures:  8 1/2"x12"

Long wise:  (12") Score @ 1 1/4", 2 1/2", 5", 7", 9 1/2" & 10 3/4"

Short wise:  (8 1/2") Score @ 2 1/2" & 6"

Fold on all of the score lines.

Fold the corners of all 4 of the squares down.  See diagram above for the dotted lines where you are to fold.

Once it is all folded and you have a little pocket of each side, put the tops of both sides together.  Hole punch and then add ribbon to hold it together.  

When finished, add your teabags or anything else your heart desires. 

Hope you enjoy creating your own.  I love them and they are super easy.

Welcome to the Jaded Blossom Customer Blog Hop. 

We are very happy that you are able to join us. 

Jaded Blossom will be offering prizes.  They will be Echo Park paper, Twine and new treat boxes which are not yet released to three lucky winners who comment on every blog.

Jaded Blossom will also be offering these same prizes to three of you lucky participants. Those winners will be chosen randomly. 

Everyone will have until Sunday night to complete the hop. Winners will be announced Monday morning!!

This is my very first blog hop that I have participated in.  I just love all of the Jaded Blossom stamps sets.  Sadly, I have only been able to buy the Easter bundle so I really had to do some creative thinking so I could participate.  This is what I came up with. I made a set of "Thank You" cards for a teacher friend of mine for a Teacher Appreciation gift. 

I used the Easter Egg from the Bunny Poop set and created a flower stamping it multiple times on a circle.  I then cut it out and embellished it with a rhinestone.  If you look at the flower real close you will recognize it as the Easter Egg.

Thank you for stopping by so I could share my Jaded Blossom project with you.  Now it is time to head back over to the Jaded Blossom's blog so you can see what the next participant has created to share with you.

Penquin Bookmarks I am linking this project up with Sarah Hamer Designs for Link up Tuesday

I made these penguin bookmarks for the second grade class I volunteer in.  They are doing their penguin reports right now so I thought this would be perfect for them.  I listed all 17 species of penguins on the back and highlighted  the penguin they are doing their report on. 

I used my Create A Critter cartridge set at 2 3/4".  I made 25 of them.
