You could cut the Mickey Charm (or any charm) out of shrinky dink material 

and make a really cute charm bracelet!  

Here's the page I posted yesterday for Getting Cricky's challenge. 

 I've had the Disney font on my computer for a little while, sorry I don't remember where it came from.  There are lots of Disney fonts available; I just "Googled" Disney font.  The Disney font at DaFont.com has been downloaded over 3,000,000 times!  

Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help!

CWC Blogaversary - Day 2 - Pearls

Welcome to Paper Crafting World and Cooking With Cricut's 2nd Blog-Aversary and our week long celebration!  Each day for a whole week (May 19 - 26) we will be bringing you fabulous projects made by our Design Team members.  We have some GREAT blog candy as well as some daily file and graphic give-aways -- so you will definitely want to make PCW-CWC your daily stop every day this week! 

Our theme for today is 

 For Day 2 I created a standard size wedding card using white and silver. 

Closeup of embossed card base, frame and embossed "D" w/ pearls of course!

 Showing the shine of the embossed "D" a little more and the cluster of flowers.

I've had some questions regarding mailing "heavily embellished" or "bulky" cards.  I typically do not mail these types of cards in an envelope by itself, I generally mail them with a present so the card would be protected inside the shipping box.  If I were to send this card postal I would use a padded envelope (and cross my fingers it made it there safely).  Thanks for the great question -- keep them coming and I hope this answer helps!

For this card I used -

Cricut Cartridges - Martha Stewart Crafts Elegant Cake Art and Storybook

Sizzix Embossing Folder - Flower Vine #2

Recollections - Pearls (various sizes)

Embossing powder (used on "D") - Creative Beginnings Bridal (isn't that appropriate???)

Misc. - Cardstock, Ribbon, Flowers, Frame 

I wish I knew where the frame came from - I would like more.

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day celebrating all MOM's!  

And YES..........."fur-babies" count!

For the last couple of years I have been trying to incorporate my passion of  "craftiness" into the gifts that I give.  This Mother's Day in no exception and this one is SPECIAL!  

Grandma's Dress

The mauve flowers (and 3 of the pearls) are made from my 

grandmother's dress that she is wearing in the photo.  

   

 The lace was "aged" using Antique Linen Distress Ink.

 

I hand rolled these flowers. 

 

 Here's a close-up of one of the yo-yo flowers with a pearl from the dress.

My dear friend, Casey, made the yo-yo flowers (thanks Casey)!

Lisa gave me he pink/mauve ribbon that matched perfectly (thanks Lisa)!

The flowers on top were a happy accident due to "an opportunity to embellish"....

 in other words, the paper tore. (Kinda like my heart strings putting this one together.)  

I've had this layout in my head for a while and it is 

genuinely a creation from the heart!  

Mom 

I hope you love it! 

Happy Mother's Day! 

Recipe:

One very special dress

Old embroidery hoop

My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Paper Pack (Hobby Lobby)

Prima Say it in Crystals border embellishment

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Antique Linen

Tim Holtz "Memory" Key embellishment

Rhinestone framed pearl (Hobby Lobby)

Misc - Ribbon, lace, pearls, brads

Basket full of goodies...

SSSHHHH Don't tell my husband (Hi Honey!) but I like the mailman.  He's been very busy this week bringing me goodies.  One of the packages that he brought me had the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cricut cartridge in it!  I've already made two baskets, one for Get "Berry" Well Wishes (to be shown later) and one for Mother's day.  They were easy to put together!  I do have another item on my wish want NEED list.  I NEED the Cricut Score-Tip, although my Martha Stewart scoring board worked very well, the Cricut Score-Tip would make the projects go a lot faster. 

Happy Mother's Day Basket filled with Bit-O-Honey's

**one of my mommy's favorite candies!**

This is what the cut (fit to mat) looks like on the mat.

Using the Cricut Spatula and Martha Stewart Score-Board made this project a little easier. 

The handle needed a little something....

 This Martha Stewart punch is one of MY favorites.

A little liquid pearls. 

Recipe: 

Cartridge - Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2

Punch - Martha Stewart (not sure which one)

Cardstock - Paper Reflections (Lights package)

Glaze Gel Pens - green and navy blue

Liquid Pearls - White Opal

Misc - Flowers, MS Score-Board,
