Custom Charm with Cricut and Shrinky Dinks!
Matching Envelope
Sweet Sentiment for a Special Day.
Hi Everyone!
So glad to finally get back here and post this for you. These past few weeks have been crazy busy. I haven't had the energy to create or blog at night. I have had just enough energy to enjoy some of my favorite blogs and leave comments on wonderfully inspiring projects. So thanks to all of your for your lovely inspiration!
Today I am sharing a card that I made for my SIL. I wanted a charm to add to the card and just couldn't find the right thing. So I decided to make a charm with my Cricut and some ink jet Shrinky Dinks. It really could not have been easier. I cut the image at about 3" - it shrunk to about 1" after using the heat tool. (Make sure to punch a hole in it for the ribbon before you use the heat tool.) Then I applied two coats of Glossy Accents (one of my absolute favorite products). The card and envelope I made with the Cameo using images from the Silhouette Online Store. I also used some Michaels ribbon and diamond bling for some sparkle. The back of the envelope and inside of the card are decorated with hand doodling using a pink metallic Gelly Roll pen and a wonderful wood stamp from Hero Arts. The sentiment on the front is a studio g stamp and Stampendous Blushing Pink embossing powder.
If you like what you see please leave me a comment. It means a lot. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
