I thought it might be neat to host a party where crafty bloggers could link up any tips, tricks, or projects they might have that are "crafty cutter" related. It will be like having an entire library of fabulousness at
Anything related to your Cricut, Silhouette, Sizzix, Cuttlebug, etc. is welcome:
- Projects or crafts you've completed
- Tips on how to use software, make supplies last longer, rig your machine up to do special stuff
- Ways you organize your supplies
The I {Heart} My Crafty Cutter party will open on Monday, February 21st, at 9 am (ET) and will close at 10 pm (ET) on Friday, February 25th. So, if you're like me and are still learning to use your Silhouette (or haven't seen your Cricut in awhile), you have some time to work things out before the first party launches!
Because I spent this month's budget on the nanny's fees and the Rolls Royce payment, the prize for participants is small, but I did want to offer something!
*Anyone who links up and includes a link back to me OR my party button in their post will be entered to win a $10 Gift Card to Starbucks and a Coffee Cozie in your choice of colors from Stitch Sense Designs. Because everyone knows that crafting is more fun with a fancy drink, and why shouldn't you accessorize your to-go mug?! It's not much, but my way of saying thank you to those of you who take the time to join the party.
Don't have a Silhouette machine yet? If you go shopping, be sure to use the code SERENITY. Click on my Silhouette button and see what this baby can do!
{Hope to see you on the 21st!}
*Come back tomorrow to link up YOUR best post of the week to Weekend Bloggy Reading and get an extra entry in this week's Valentine's Scentsy Giveaway*
What a good idea, Amanda! I don't have a machine, but it seems that there are a lot of bloggers who have one and would love to learn how to use it better. I hope you get lots of participation!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Will this be a weekly party or a one-time thing? I just ordered my Silhouette and I'm waiting (impatiently) for it to arrive! :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI have a Cricut (the smaller one) but am planning on getting a Silhouette - just waiting on a great deal!!
Yay! I wish I had a crafty cutter to enter! Maybe someday :-) I can't wait to see what other people's tips & tricks are though so I know where to come to once I do get one :-) Thanks for the feature & giveaway opportunity! :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! I am still learning to use my silhouette, but I think I may have something to share. I'll link up :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun idea! I have a ton of Cricut projects on my blog...I posted a new one today too:)
ReplyDeleteI don't have one of these things but can't wait to see everyone's projects. Everytime I see what someone has made with one of these I think I should get one. I love all the really neat stuff I've seen. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a genious idea Amanda!! You really need to make this weekly or monthly. I would LOVE to get some silhouette ideas!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I guess I should take mine out of the box now. Still scared of it! I didn't know it was going to be so technically challenged! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteRats! I don't have a machine (unless cutting things out with a xacto knife counts). But it will be fun to see what awesomeness others are coming up with.
ReplyDeleteYou could also call this the "Make Me Feel like a Crafty Loser" LOL only kidding, I love looking at everyone's ideas...if only they would become more than ideas to me! Looking forward to another great linky partay!
ReplyDeleteYAY for Amanda!!! Such a great idea for a linky party, can't wait to see all the fun ideas.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as my basement is finished and I build a cash reserve back up I'm buying a Silhouette!
ReplyDeleteI dont have a machine yet, but I am obsessed with looking at all the amazing crafts people are making from them! I will link up so I can see alll the fabulous things people come up with!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
I'm not crafty, but am always amazed at all of you who are.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'll be checking back, to see what all of you came up with.
I'm so excited about this party! I still haven't even had time to use mine yet. I can't wait to hear everyone's tips! WOO HOO!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun party idea. Even though I don't have a machine, I'll still enjoy seeing what people create using theirs.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are stealing my heart! I have yet to use my Silhouette that I got for Christmas. I have spent a good amount of time perusing their online store and trying to figure things out, but I have yet to actually fire 'er up! Hopefully this will help me out a bit. I definitely feel intimidated. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. I'm in. I've been wanting to try the vinyl with etching creme anyhow. This is my push. Will you remind us all closer to the date? I'm horrible with dates... =)
ReplyDeleteYes I'm in the Makes me feel like a crafty loser club too. I don't have any of those cool machines. I'll just have to look at everyones cool projects and try not to be too jealous.
ReplyDeleteHave fun.
Sounds like fun! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI am so wanting a Silhouette Machine! Wish I could join you but alas till one is gifted or won...
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific idea for a party! Count me in!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea - count me in!
ReplyDeleteI don't have one yet, but I want one of the machines that cuts thicker materials. I'll definitely check out your party for ideas while debating which one to get. :)
