live laugh love home decor project made using the Chip Decor cartridge

Hello, everyone!

 Today I have another home decor piece using the NEW Chip Decor cartridge. I sometimes wonder how many people are making home decor items with their cricuts. I know it took a while for me to dip my toe in that pond, but now I really enjoy it. Cards get given away and scrapbook pages go in books, but home decor is something that everyone in your home can admire everyday!

 
Here is the CCR cut file: http://www.box.com/s/1bfe1a40e17e05c4549c
Now believe it or not this project was made using the imagine. I printed the patterns out on vinyl and then adhered them to the wood. I did the same thing with the word art. This method made for an easy and durable end result. Also, I did not use any modge podge, so there was zero mess!



Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back here tomorrow!


Don't forget that this week we are giving away a Cricut Creative Memories This 'n That cartridge ($55 value)!



How can you win?


1) Leave a comment below. Also, leave a comment on each post this week to maximize your chances of winning!

i am very new to the cricut world, and just starting with it. i have done a very few cards, but love it. i just asked my cricut family yesterday if they had ever done anything with fabric (because of a post i saw) and they said felt. Then they mentioned vinyl, and i feel overwhelmed with all the possibilities out there. i refer back to your blogs many times, and will continue. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas.
