Exploring Cricut's Tags, Bags, or Boxes Challenge

This week there are no cards allowed! Make a Tag, Bag, or Box with a ribbon accent for this week's challenge at Exploring Cricut, and here is my project-

Recently I went to Michaels and found some real cool plain-ish bags 2/$3. I also found black and white rhinestone flowers and black and white paper flowers. So here is the list of what I did-

1. Using Art Philosophy, I cut the square doily at 5 1/2 using the Font Layer, button 49. Antique Dot Stack paper from DCWV. Used the  5" Xyron Creative Station to adhere doily to bag.. 
2. Cut Birthday Girl from Artiste at 1 1/2", button 38 out of black cardstock. Adhere to doily.
3. Added black & white paper flowers and rhinestone flowers as shown.
4. Made tag from Lacy Labels cut at 3" using leftover paper from pink dots, black cardstock, and white cardstock. Tied the label onto the bag with 1/8" offray black ribbon.

This is the first time I've ever decorated a plain bag, but it won't be the last!

Exploring Cricut Wonderful Wednesday

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday! Here is my ongoing tray project with a Valentine twist-

1. The background paper is from Creative Memories.
2. The large heart was cut at 10" using the Edge to Edge cartridge out of red glitter cardstock (TPC, Joann's). 
3. The sentiment was cut at 2 1/2" out of a light blue cardstock using the Love Struck cartridge.

Very intricate heart, so I slowed the speed way down and it cut like a dream.

Winner will receive the Got Candy stamp set.

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. I hope that you will all visit FCCB and join in this week's challenge.

Here is my project:

 

This is a super easy card to make using the Damask Decor cartridge, using the Card Creative Feature.

1. Cut card base out of white cardstock-I cut mine at 4 1/2". I embossed just the heart portion with Anna Griffin Matelasse embossing folder by Cuttlebug.
2. Cut overlay out of pink cardstock. I used Damaskene embossing folder by Cuttlebug for more texture.
3. Offray 1/8" pink ribbon, tied into bow with clear beads knotted on the ends.

I hope you like it!
