The Scrapbooking Queen Design Team Day for CRI-KITS

Today I am showcasing a fun project for you using one of my favorite things, CRI-KITS! 

I have had a bunch of fun posts over the last month using these pens.

For this project you will need your Gypsy and some fabulous CRI-KIT pens.

The first thing I did was find a basic tag and size it to the size I wanted.  This tag comes from SWEETHEARTS cartridge 

*This is the image that cuts

 I added another layer and found a fun "design" for the tag.  This one came from the STORYBOOK cartridge.

*This is the image that draws

 After some CUTTING and DRAWING, this is what I created:)

 Time to Embellish

 TADA!  I love the way this tag turned out:)  I love my CRI-KIT pens!  They add a fun unique look to my projects.

Personalizing Your Gypsy!

Personalizing Your Gypsy!

I have personalized my cricut and cuttlebug with vinyl...

For the longest time I have been thinking of ways to personalize my gypsy.

Then today, this fun idea popped into my head:)

What you will need:

Shrinky Dink Plastic

Cricut/Punch

Stamp

Ink

Tweezers

Hole Punch

Embossing Gun

1. I cut out the scallop circle using my cricut. Make sure you adjust the settings and use your multi cut button.

2. I used my personalized stamp by PSA Essentials to stamp in the circle. Wait for the ink to dry for about 10-15 minutes.

3. Use a hole punch, I used my cropadile and the biggest punch setting. Try to use the biggest hole punch you can because your charm will shrink a ton.

4. Using my tweezers and embossing gun, I shrunk down the plastic. Make sure you use a cricut spatula to smooth out the plastic as soon as you stop the heat. It hardens pretty fast. If it still has parts not smoothed out, heat it again and it works like a charm;) *This is how much it shrunk 5. Add to your gypsy stylus and enjoy:)

Be sure to pick up a personalized stamp from PSA Essentials!
