I used one of the two ribbon images located on the new PINK JOURNEY cartridge. There is a ribbon on the STAND & SALUTE cartridge too, but I like how thick the PJ ribbon is... makes it easier to personalize. The ribbon was cut from the magnet material that I had layered pink vinyl on, then I used black vinyl to personalize it for my mother-in-law, who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last year and is now cancer free... she is truly a Survivor! Her name was cut from CURSIVE 101 and the word 'survivor' was cut from PINK JOURNEY.
I used yellow vinyl layored on the magnet material to cut this Yellow Ribbon. I made several of these, but have alot more to make because everyone in our family will get one for Christmas this year... because my son, Patch, deploys for Afghanistan in January.
I like the size of this (9") and I like the scalloped oval from PINK JOURNEY. I welded the oval onto the ribbon with my GYPSY, but it can also be done in DESIGN STUDIO.
Here is a video showing you how I made both ribbons... (click HERE if you don't see the video below) **Sry... for some reason the GYPSY screen got brighter after uploading to YOUTUBE and is difficult to see in the video**
I also welded the words, "Support Our Troops" using the GYPSY and PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK. I like using the magnets on my car better than placing the vinyl straight on the car, because they are much more durable to withstand weather and car washes (remove before entering the car wash... lol!).
The possiblities are endless for this project. You could make so many cute and meaningful Christmas gifts that are personalized and priceless. Not only are the magnets great for your vehicle, but look great on your refrigerator too! Cut your own picture frames for those pictures of the kids!
Thanks for visiting our blog, this is the end of WEEK9, which means that there are only 11 weeks left! Approximately 90 days before the big guy in the red suit makes a visit... don't let it sneak up on you, start planning now!
Don't forget to leave those comments for tomorrow's drawing! Midnight (central time) is the cutoff to be eligible. Good luck everyone!

Such a wonderful idea & a great cause. Thanks for the inspiration

Excellent projects!!! Really unique ideas, too. Of course, all the ideas on this blog are unique. Keep up the good work!

very inspirational video-thanks for sharing.
a 2 times survivor, I will be delighted to make these for friends when I eventually get this cartridge. Thank you once again for the inspiration you have given all your followers.
Great gift idea! Fortunately I don't know anyone to make these for.
I did not think to add vinyl to magnet first. Cool!
Love your videos
Thanks
rache
LOVE that you can make your own and personalize them! How great is that!!
Love the magnet idea for putting on the car, and so many other places! Your ribbon is awesome
We are doing Cards for the Cure in October, and this would be great to give out!!!! Thanks
Thanks for the great ideas! I love that you can cut magnet sheeting with the Cricut. Great video!
Love those Ribbons!!! That music put me in the mood for Christmas! Let's DECORATE!
Lisa
What a great idea, I really love it!
The magnets are truly a great gift idea! Great Job!
thanks for sharing
I love the idea of the magnets for those fighting for us. My nephew is in Afganistan now. Thanks for sharing - this is a definite for me!

Have not tried magnets yet. Love the ideas, great for Christmas and other special events.
Thanks for all of the adorable fantastic ideas. You always WOW me!
Hadn't thought of using magnets, great idea. Thanks for sharing.
I haven't thought of using the magnet material like that. I really like the idea. I might change up on of the window decals I'm making for a Christmas present into the magnet. Thanks
What a great project! And, thanks for the fabulous tip about the cricut mat liner. I've been having trouble with the sticky stuff sticking to the liner. I didn't know that there was a right and wrong side. Thank you for telling us that!
this is the first I've seen the magnet material used. Looks great.
Oh I could of used these 2 years ago when my son in law was in Iraq, hopefully I'll never have to make one for my son in law again, I'll pray your son stays safe over there. What a wonderful show of support if each of your family memebers puts one on their car!! soses
Tammy, I really just want to thank you and your family for the sacrifices your son Patch will be making for me to keep my freedoms! He has my support and I will keep him in my prayers. We live in the land of the free only because of the brave! Good luck to your MIL too...my MIL is also a survivor! Great ideas, always!
While those magnets are great, I would like to warn people that they can harm paint jobs on your car. We had a car with a magnet ribbon on it and the magnet scratched the paint to the point that after we took the magnet off you could still see an outline of a ribbon scratched in the paint.
Oh - I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the great ideas!
Great ideas, would never have thought of that. Thanks
What a great idea - I really want that Pink Journey cart!
Great idea. Never thought of putting the vinyl on first and doing the project once instead of twice. Thanks.
Great Project! The ribbons are very popular and would make great gifts.
I love love this!!! I was totally thinking I would try to make a yellow ribbon for my car! I support the military!! I must try this soon. I bought this cartridge just because my husband is in the military.
Sandra
Wow! I like the Car magnet Ribbons. Great project idea. I would have never thought of making a magnet for a car. You are very creative!
what awesome ideas! so many times i have thought how i have ideas for car magnets.....and no way to make them myself! NOW I DO! THANKS!
Cool! I didn't know we could make magnets for our cars! My wallet is crying!
Personalized magnets!! How awesome! Great job Tammy!!
Wow wonderful ideas.
Great idea. I'll be trying the magnet frames.
Cool project, easy to personalize!
Great project!!! I'm hoping to get Stand and Salute for my son who is an Airman. (I believe it has a ribbon as well?)
My thoughts and prayers will stay with your family through your son's deployment! God Bless,
Lisa Sturgill
WOW OH WOW!!!!! I AM SOOOOO DOING THIS FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!! Thanks for the idea!!!! I am thrilled!
Hugs,
Samantha
What a great way to honour a loved one! I love this!!
Nice idea. I guess it opens up a whole world of ideas for things you could make and stick on your car.! You could do paper dolls and create your family to stick on you window etc.
This is my first visit to your site and WOW are there GREAT ideas here! My sister had breast cancer and my husband is currently deployed to Iraq so your project ideas might make my truck 'perk up' a little! Thanks for sharing; looking forward to coming back!
~Antoinette
Wow Another great project! I love all your ideas.
I love the support your troops ribbon!! I have to get this cart.
Tammy, what a great idea and way to honor or remember someone! I love these! Thank you!

I love this cart! Cool projects!
What a great idea! Thanks for the info. Love your tags. I lost a dear friend to breast cancer and it makes me appreciate the journey cartridge more than ever.
Great project, thanks
I love all your ideas here. Where did you get the pink vinyl? I have to get some in the near future for baby room project.
Laurinda (Cricut MB)
Such a Cool Idea!!!! Thanks for sharing with us!
Very cool projects and PRAYERS for you and your family during your sons deployment!
Oh Tammy ... what a fabulous idea to make magnetic pieces for the car. I've see the vinyl on cars, but this is the first I've seen of the cart Magnets ... I like it better I think. Thanx for the tip on layering the vinyl on the magnet BEFORE cutting ... that is going to save so much time and ensure a perfect fit too!
Hugz,
♥Carol♥
These are such great projects and ideas. Who would think? What you can do with our Cricut's is unbelievable! Thanks so much for sharing.

sue@kajs.demon.co.uk
I never would have thought to use my Cricut like that.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE PINK RIBBON!!! That ribbon means sooo much to me. There isnt a day that goes by that I am not wearing some form of the pink ribbon. I wear it in rememberance of my mom who died 15 yrs ago from breast cancer but survived 19 yrs with it before the cancer finally won out. I hope to be able to get the Pink Journey cart!!
What a wonderful idea!! And thanks for shairng the tip about the vinyl going on top of the magnet sheet - i ever knew that!! so thanks so much!!!
Hugs

I love the ribbons! What a great gift! I love the tips that you give.

I love the ribbons! What a great gift! I love the tips that you give.
Great project. I've got some Cricut magnet material, but I have yet to use it. Thanks for some ideas.
Great project Tammy!
Congrats to your MIL on being a survivor.
A great big THANK YOU to your son for his service!!!!
~Terry
Very cool!
Great ideas Tammy!
So glad to hear your mil is doing so well! Perfect ribbon for her.
And Patch is off to Afghanistan in January! What a thoughtful gift to your family his yellow ribbon will be!
I can see making a chart for a young child who may have a few chores to do or use it as a reward chart that can be reused. Chores such as making their bed, helping with dishes, walking a pet and the list goes on.
It gives me ideas for a car magnet, let alone other things! I live in a retirement village and there are many people here who support our troops by sending out shoeboxes filled with things. They would love car magnets for Operation Shoebox! thanks!
Great projects
Great Christams ideas. And I'll keep Patch in my prayers. My nephew is there now. His name is Kevin, please pray for his safety.
Yet another great idea from you gals!
What a Great Idea. Ya'll always amaze me. Thanks for a great gift idea.
Kim
Great idea! Thanks for the idea!
Wow, what a great idea!
I knew I kept that magnetic sheet for a reason! Thank you for teaching me something new on yet another day.
I love the idea of personalizing the pink ribbon for a cancer survivor. I have many friends and family I would love to make these projects for! Great Job!
Great ideas! I cut the vinyl and use it on my rear car window and haven't had any problem with it (but I've never been thru the car wash with it - thru rain and heat and cold and 3 states but not the car wash) - BUT, I had never thought about cutting the magnet material! TFS!
Great idea! Keep up the good work.
Great ideas!!! Thanks for sharing ou talents with all of us.

I love this idea. As a BC survivor who works with newly diagnosed patients, I'm hoping Pink Journey will become available for those of us who already have our Cricuts. Thanks for a great project.

Extremely helpful tips in your video. Thank you for sharing. Love your project with the magnets and the fact that you even "test drove" them. cooooool!!!!
I am afraid to use magnet/chipboard (anything thicker than cardstock) in my Cricut for fear of breaking it. However, I am becoming less and less "phobic" with your supportive videos. Thank you so much!!!

Nice work.
Very useful.
Good job!
Nice idea. Thanks for sharing.
Great project! It has so many uses!
What a fun project! I will definitly be getting some of the magnet material!
Thanks Tammy for showing us how to cut the magnet. I had no idea that it would be so easy! These are great gift ideas.
Wonderful! TFS!! I see new possibilities for the magnets.
I love the idea of the vinyl over the magnet base! I am not a "bumper sticker" kind of person so I have stayed away from the vinyl decals on my car but a magnet? I could definitely go for that! I love that it is removable and repositionable!
Love the tutorial!
What a great idea! TFS!
Corina

Thank you for sharing!
The magnets are so cool.
love this idea! Thanks!
THank you for the magnet idea. I just wanted to share that Christmas for me is not about the red suit but celebrating the birth of Jesus, our Redeemer and Savior, the greatest gift of all!! So even though every day is a celebration of life in Christ i love counting down to Christmas.
Thanks for the video using your gypsy. Unfortunately, I was not one of the lucky ones who was able to order the gypsy from HSN when they were offered. But I do want one.
I love this project! I bought the vinyl in several colors now I have to get the magnet material. Thank you for the great ideas.
Very Cool - Never thought of using the cricut on magnet material combined with Vinyl!
What a great idea!
What a great idea! I will be making lots of these for my own car as well. Thanks for all of the wonderful gift ideas! You are absolutely saving me this christmas!!
Oh what a great idea, I wouldn't have thought of making car magnets! Thanks!!
