My Favorite Imaginisce Project: B-Day Bash Card Bucket

This is one of my most favorite Imaginisce projects I create recently. Many Imaginisce fans might be stopping by because of a post I created on the Imaginisce blog called, 10 Things I Didn't Know About Lori Allred.  Since I do the social media and coordinate the Imaginisce design team I thought this would be a fun way to get to know the entire 2011 team, and figured we'd start with me. So check back often this week to learn about the amazingly talented people I have the lucky pleasure to work with every day!

Anyway, I found these pictures while I was cleaning up my folders on my computer and realized I hadn't shared them yet. I originally made this fun project using the B-Day Bash Collection from Imaginisce. I then cute the scallop boarder and title on the clear can with brown vinyl using my Cricut Expression. It's been a while, so I can't for sure tell you which carts these are from. But vinyl is still my most favorite thing to cut on my Cricut!
Oh the bucket is filled with BIRTHDAY CARDS...made with coordinating papers, etc. And one of my favorite i-rock tool techniques is to add bling to "vinyl" and it worked amazingly on this fun project. I've never tried adding bling to vinyl directly on my wall, so I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Thanks for stopping by today. If you didn't come to my blog by way of Imaginisce's blog, then be sure to check out my 10 Things You Didn't Know About Lori Allred post. You too can win an i-rock tool if you leave a comment on my blog today and then return to the Imaginisce blog and let them know you stopped by my blog. Thanks so much for coming to see one of my favorite Imaginisce projects!

I first stopped by the Imaginisce blog (which I do every day), which led me to your blog here. Great idea with the can. You stated you hadn't tried bling on vinyl on your walls yet. I did for Christmas and it works great!

Steffanie said...

What a cute container for securing all your cards! Love it!

Ann said...

What a great way to store those cards that are waiting to be given away! I like your bling on the vinyl title, which lies much more smoothly on the round can than a cardstock title would, I think.
