MasterCrafter Challenge w/ Pink Cricut

Welcome to Funky Cards
The time has come, I can finally reveal my Mastercraft!  But first I have a few things to share with you.   My mystery box full of crating items arrived and oh what a challenge awaited me.  Here is what I found:


RockStar card stock - DCWV Deals


Scissor Mouse - Westcott


Drawstring Bag - State Line Bag Co.

Rhinestones - Queen and Co.

Only one stamp not an entire set- my stamp said 
"LOVE" - Pink by Design

and last, but not least, three buttons:)

I had to sit on this for a couple of days.  I didn't want to jump in and do the first thing that came to my mind.  In the end, I knew I wanted to transform the drawstring bag as much as possible and make it something completely new.  I didn't want it to be a bag.  That was my ultimate goal.  I also new I wanted a canvas of some kind even though I had card stock, a stamp, and rhinestones. So, after careful consideration, here is what I came up with.  What do you think?  









"LOVE" Canvas

  1. The drawstring bag from State Line Bag Co. became the focal piece of the project.  Using a seam ripper, it was carefully taken apart so that it could be beautifully transformed into a flower!!  One of the buttons became the center piece of the flower to hold it all together.  No sewing necessary, just a bit of hot glue!
  2. Using the Rock Star card stock from DCWV Deals as the base, the canvas was first adorned with beautiful paper creating four work spaces.
  3. The upper left hand corner utilized the Love stamp from Pink By Design.  Blue velum paper was used to allow the beauty of the card stock to show through.  To compliment the stamp and to keep with the "love" theme, the Bible verse -1 Corinthians 13:4-8 was added using a pretty red font but every time the word "love" appeared it was replaced with the Pink By Design stamp.  I sprayed the back of the velum with 3M Spray Mount to adhere it to the canvas. 
  4. In the upper right hand corner, the word Love was cut using the Pooh Font Cricut cartridge.  The letters were inked to help them pop off the page.
  5. The bottom left corner shows three pictures of a couple truly in "love."  The pictures were cut using the Wescott Scissor Mouse.  
  6. In the bottom right corner, a flourish was first cut using the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge.  Next, a heart made of rhinestones from Queen and Co. was added to finish the square.
It is now time to vote for the Mastercrafter.  If you would like to support me (#9), or vote for your favorite project, you can vote by clicking HERE.  

Have a wonderful day!

  1. WOW,you did an amazing job! I love the canvas flower and how you did the verse on the vellum. I would have never thought to attach it with spray adhesive. I'd probably still been sitting here trying to figure out how to attach it and hide the adhesive. That was slick! Great Job Madison!
