Share the LOVE -Fantabulous Cricut Crawl

Hi everyone,
I'm so happy that you've taken the time to visit me at Robin's Creative Cottage today, I'm the creator of Fantabulous Cricut, and I hope you've come to enjoy the 4th Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, this is Fantabulous Cricut's version of a blog hop!

If you've come along for the "Share the LOVE Cricut Crawl" then you've just come from visiting "Scrappin' With my Bug", Michelle's blog. I hope you took some time to look around her blog, she's very talented and has great projects to share. If you've just happen to come across my blog and would play along with the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, then begin -HERE

Valentine's Day is in in a week, and everyone at Fantabulous Cricut has decided to "Share the Love"! Each Design Team member will be featuring an original Valentine-themed project that includes the word "LOVE" somewhere on it. Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! And there may be PRIZES along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, Also there is a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Share the LOVE" project at FCCB (Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog)... So much fun!

**For my "Share the LOVE" project I cut out a clear box using the Once Upon a Princess cricut cartridge. I used my "Heart Blocks" cuttlebug embossing folder on the plastic... wow... the box turned out amazing! ---I'm defiantly going to do a video on this technique because if I tried to explain it, it may not be clear for you to follow... so watch my blog for the video to come soon.

For the hearts, the word "LOVE" and the key, I used the Sweethearts cricut cartridge, added just a hint of pink "bling" to the heart. The "LOVE" was cut in black then I added glitter for "sparkle".
I created this project on my gypsy so the following measurements are approximate...box was cut at 6" tall x 10 1/2" wide, heart 2 1/2 tall and the key 2" tall.

PRIZE... yes I have a prize to give away...

Lollipop lollipop... Oh lolli lollipop.... *POP*

Today's challenge at Fantabulous Cricut is: Sweet Shop, create a project using something sweet, like ice cream, cake, candy etc.

I created a yummy lollipop shape card, isn't is delicous? I love how it turned out. I use the Accent Essentials cricut cartridge and designed it using my new gypsy. I welded two circles together, added a patterned paper circle then the swirl.
Then added just the right amount of glitter on the swirl.
My favorite part... the packaging. I added a cello bag then curling ribbon to close it up. Then added a the "You're so SWEET" (oops I need to fix the 'You're' on the tag) glad I noticed before I mail this to my sweet friend.

You'll have to go check out Fantabulous Cricut to see the yummy design team "Sweet Shop" creations and be inspired to create your own project. -HERE

Snowy Delights -Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #41

It has been a wonderful holiday season celebrating with my family, I hope your holiday was wonderful as well.

Fantabulous Cricut is starting the New Year with another great challenge
"Snowy Delights"
Create a project and incorporate snow or snowflakes.

I'm beginning the New Year with this thank you card. I used my Winter Woodland cricut cartridge, the branch is on page 38, the bird on page59 of the handbook.

I was so excited to get a gypsy for Christmas and used it to create my first card... woo hoo...

There is so much inspiration at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, go see more "Snowy Delights" projects and get inspired to create your own project. -HERE
