PCW Stamp-Die Challenge Purple

Good afternoon crafty friends,

Today’s Terrific Tuesday post is not a challenge. It is our last post with some of our designers. Today we say good-bye and farewell to a few more from our design team. We wish them well in all their crafty endeavors and know they will continue to spread sunshine and happiness in crafty blogland. Thank you Yolie and Celeste for all the wonderful projects and time you have spent with us. Today Celeste challenged the team to use Purple flowers in their projects so here they are.

Designer Bonnie created this beautiful card using the Rose in Vase Digital Stamp from PCW. For all the purplicious details, visit Bonnie.

Designer Celeste created this gorgeous card using the Rolled Scallop Rose and the Cake from the Celebrate Sophisticate set from PCW. For complete details, visit Celeste.

Designer Christel created this gorgeous card using the BG Rose digital stamp set. For all the beautiful details, please visit Christel.

Designer Evelyn created this super sweet Mini album. She used the 6pt flower spray cutting file from PCW for her pretty purple flowers. For complete details, visit Evelyn.

Designer Mindy created this adorable card using the Cat’s Meow Digi Set from PaperCraftingWorld.com. Be sure to visit Mindy for all the details. Mindy’s Blog

Designer Yolie created this gorgeous card using the Raggedy Edge Rose Cutting File as well as the Oval Frame. For details, visit Yolie

Designer Melin created this adorable layout featuring the bear n’ cake slice flowers and the Sweet Roses cutting file sets from PCW. I realize the flower look more pink in the photos, but they really are more of a lavendar.

Thank you once again for stopping by. Next week Tuesday we will be unveiling our new designers and our new challenge.

Be sure to come back by tomorrow for another Wonderful Wednesday Challenge!

Cartridge Showcase: Disney Dreams Come True

Welcome to Cooking With Cricut's Monday Cartridge Showcase!  We hope you all had a wonderful, crafty weekend!  Chef Jenny J. (aka Crazyaboutcricut) has taken over the blog today and is sharing one of  her favorite cartridges -- an oldie. but goodie -- Disney's Dreams Come True.

The cartridge features Disney Princesses Ariel, Belle, Jasmine and Pocahontas and  includes: Flesh/Hair, Outfit/Outfit, White/Extra, Icon, Base/Icon, and Charm creative features.

So without further ado . . . here's Jenny!

Hi Everybody!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the Disney cartridges.  Even though they can be challenging, they are SO worth it! 

My daughter recently had an Ariel-themed birthday party.  Whenever my kids want a theme that I can cut with my Cricut, I'm so happy!  It saves money, and shopping time :O)  For my first project, I want to share the perfect banner I was able to make for her using the Dreams Come True Disney Princess cartridge:

For my second project I made this card using this elephant that is only two layers!  One of my favorite things about this (and all Disney carts) is the Icon feature. These are still in a Disney style, but are A LOT easier to put together. 

 My last project is another card again using the Icon feature.  A simple two layer cut, some doodling, a sentiment and you have a card you can make in minutes!

 

Super cute projects, Jenny!  Looks like your daughter had a wonderful birthday!!  Please check out the details on Jenny's blog and make sure to leave her a comment letting her know how much you liked her showcase.

Check back in tomorrow, Tuesday, February 28th for a PaperCraftingWorld.com Design Team challenge and Wednesday, February 29th for a CookingWithCricut.com Design Team challenge.  These will be the last challenges with the current teams -- so make sure you stop by and give 'em some love and a shout out!  (Our new Design Teams will be introduced the following week.)
