Today's home decor frame comes from the new Cricut Fontopia cartridge. I love the funky letters on this cartridge, as well as the cards. I thought I would make this 3-D frame for my craft room wall.
Currently, you can buy the individual monogram letters for 99 cents each from this cartridge in the Cricut Craft Room program or HERE on cricut.com.
Also, Provo Craft is running a special on the whole Cricut Fontopia cartridge in many forms - check it out below:
Here's another view of the frame. I added rhinestones to the centers of the circles on the "J" for fun - who doesn't love a little bling? It's practically a requirement if you live in Texas, like we do. LOL!
This is really a cute cartridge with some cool boxes! Check out a box I made below:

How pretty is this? My daughter would love it with her initial:-)
I love using monograms and have used the mini monograms cartridge a lot of times. After watching your video on using vinyl, I used monograms to etch a set of glasses for my daughter, and a candle jar for a wedding. I think my new grandson needs a "C" for his nursery using this cartridge. Thanks for sharing, Joy!!
This is so pretty- I really must get that cartridge. Thanks for the inspiration!
You have given me some great ideas. I think I will try using a few initials for some home decor.

What a cute frame and font for the letters! I use monograms quite a bit because it's simple and you can do soooo many different things with just one letter! Thanks so much for the chance to win this cartridge. I would use it all the time as I just started getting into decorating all my tasty treats!
Pretty--I like the font and the rhinestones.
I haven't used monograms, but your project is certainly inspiring! I may have to give it a go, especially on a tote bag, cut out of fabric! That would be sweet! Thank you for the opportunity to win this SWEET cartridge!!
Fondly,

I'm just recently in love with monograms. I can make a card set that just uses a standard design and put someone's initials on it and then I've got a great personalized gift for someone I don't know well enough to personalize it a ton. I am a total "fontaholic", too! This cartridge is definitely on my wish list!
TFS!
I wasnt thrilled when I saw the fontopia cartridge...but you sure changed my mind!!! I am loving everything that you are doing with it!!
I love the monogram idea, and would love to win the sweet tooth cartridge. Thanks for the chance to win.
I really like monograms they are so cute! I really think it personalizes the project and that gives an extra special good feeling. I am more of a favor box and card maker kind of crafter.
I use monograms on shower and wedding cakes I make using my Cricut Cake and many of the cartridges I have. Would love to add Sweet Tooth Boxes to my collection!
Monograms are the ultimate touch of class. Love adding that personal touch to everything. Thanks for the inspiration and a chance to win! Great carts!
I use monograms occaisionally and I've made some cute notecards with them that have been complimented by quite a few people.
Love the box that you made also!
Love monograms! This font is great!
Beautiful letter, I use monograms some but not often.

Love the monogram. This cart will be well used. Would love to have the sweet tooth cart..so many projects!
Great frame!! I love monograms. I like using them when I make a card set as a gift and in my LOs. I'd say thumbs up to them!
sueot33@yahoo.com
The monogram is adorable. What a cute house warming gift.
Great job on the monogram. I have seen some monograms done with the vinyl on the glass to give dimension and included a couples wedding date. That's how I'd probably use it. Otherwise, I'd find a elegant font and use the quilling papers to fill in the monogram.
I would love the opportunity to win and be able to try new ways for my projects. Thanks

Just lovely...I, personally, have not been into "monograms" but there will be a few weddings coming up and a few monogram ideas on pinterest have made me think twice...I haven't made anything monogrammy yet, but the idea is there. Thanks for the inspiration!

I usually only use monograms for small cards. Thanks for sharing your frame. It is great.

I really have not used monograms yet - just might have to try, though... thanks for sharing such a cute project!
I can take the monograms or leave them, not a big fan, but have used them in the past. My last name begins with a B and I don't like the plainer monogram for the B on this cartridge so I would not use it and would use the B on someother cartridge if I wanted to do something with any of the plainer letters on this cartridge.
The font is so pretty, and the box is darling. Great job!
Great idea putting the rhinestones in the little circles to bling it up. Very nice project.
Love the framed letter idea. Now I have to make one! Lol. Monograms are really nice because of how easily they can bring elegance to anything. I have used them on cards, glass etching and embroidery. I just got asked to make something for a family living over in Damascus and am doing a card w/ a matching box of chocolates. Winning the Sweet Tooth cartridge would be right on time!
I have made some monogram picture frames. I love them.
Love the beautiful "J", Joy! and I would absolutely be excited to win Sweet Treat Boxes as I am in charge of a charity event and they would make great favor/place cards! AWEsoME!!!
Love using monograms! Even like using a large page size letter with smaller letters to spell words. This cartridge would be perfect for my needs. Gotta get it!!! Love the framed monogram. Thanks for the idea.
Monograms are great. Would love the cartridge
Love, love monograms! I use them in my home decor and love to use them in wedding gifts.
I love the concept of monograms, but I don't use them enough. I think these Fontopia monograms could create a very cool card, especially with Fancy Frames. Great wedding card!
Love the monogram. Like the bling. I love bling. My initial is K. I like the initial for a monogram.
I love the fonts- planning on getting the cartridge digitally real soon
Beautiful monogram!Thanks for the chance to win Sweet Treat Boxes, I don't have a cartridge that makes boxes so it sure would be a welcome addition to my collection!

I've made a few cards with monograms but this definitely shows I am under-using a very good source of elements for cards, scrapbooking and home decor.
Beautiful Frame and little box! I just love all the items you make with the Cricut. Gives me inspiration to get started on projects myself!! Thanks for the giveaway!!!
You must of been thinking of me when you made that lovely "J". Thanks for showing us all your wonderful projects
What a great idea, and you're right - this font is funky and fun! I love monograms and do use them occasionally - sometimes even for gifts, so I have to give them a definite thumbs up. Your project would make a great gift for a new baby or as a wedding gift, etc. Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea!
Yes I use monograms but not often. Or probably not as often as I could. Like that font. TFS. I like bling too.
I use monograms to make stationary card gifts for friends. But I have not done one in a frame for decoration. Great idea!
I've only used monograms when making notecards for friends. However, after seeing this project, my mind is spinning with things I can do with them. TFS

I haven't done much with monograms but would definitely be motivated to try because I love the alphabet style of this font cartridge.
I have used monograms as a fancy first letter for titles on scrapbook pages. I haven't framed any yet, but my 11 year old has plans for her bedroom, so I see myself using this technique in the very near future ;-) Thanks for the ideas!
I love this frame!! I've been wanting to do this for my kids' bedrooms...so cute! Fontopia is perfect for this project...LOVE! :)
I love this idea! I really haven't used monograms before, but I just haven't thought of it! Thanks again for the ideas. They can be used as you did in a decorating project & also in a LO for the beginning of a name.
Thanks, Tammy
Excellent idea for 'labeling' bedroom doors! Really liking it!Thanks for sharing all your ideas.
Great idea for home decor :) I have used monograms on cards and plan to make a stationary set for a few people as Christmas gifts...I guess it time to get busy!
Love it! Can see lots of things monogrammed now!
The monograms are nice, but I have never used them. after seeing your project I might just start though !!!
I haven't tried monograms yet, but I think I will! I can think of some neat gifts to make with them! Thanks for the ideas.
I would like to use monograms for wedding cards, etc. I have some ideas but haven't had time or the right occasion to try them yet! Thanks for sharing your good ideas!
It's so cute! I've never used monograms before but, I may have to try.
I love the box you made. I would love to win this cartridge. Thanks for the chance.
I have not used monograms yet but I love this idea especially for my craft room! TFS and for the chance to win!
Love your frame! I've decided-here & now-I've got to get this cart. Too many great possibilities to pass up!
I love this idea! TFS! I have done a couple of things with monograms. I love Fontopia, but haven't decided whether to buy individual letters or get the whole cartridge.
Love the monogram!

Love monograms, been making vinyl monograms on floor tiles for wedding gifts and family. Thanks for another great idea.
Leanna in dry KS
Yes, I sometimes use monograms. Depends on the layout.
Thanks! Love the J and the cart giveaway!!
I actually can think of many ways to use the monograms and would love to own this cartridge. So many ways to enhance letters.
I have used monograms once in awhile but they are not my favorite thing. I do like the one you did in the frame and that is one that I might make for my daughter. Regina
This is an adorable project! I have not really used monograms, but I have seen some great ideas with them. I also LOVE your gift box :)
Very excited about the Fontopia cart. Just got it in the mail. So now all I need is the Sweet Tooth Box Cart. Thanks for the opportunity to win this one and good luck everyone! I'm sure I'm not the only one hoping to win this one.
I just started cutting vinyl to personalize items. I cut children's names for school folders and made flowers to put around my craft room. Now I think I'll cut monograms...thanks for sharing!!!
My son's name starts with a J! That monogram project will be on my To-Do List for sure. Thanks for the inspiration and the cute giveaway.
What a great idea, for a simple project!!
I like your blinged monogram. I use monograms for notecards.

Great idea! AND a cartridge full of boxes -oh boy!
Wish I had the Sweet Tooth Cartridge when my daughter & I were making things for her wedding reception 4 years ago. I noticed there is a cake slice box. I made up my own pattern and we hand cut enough pieces to make 6 cakes with 8 slices or boxes per cake. That was a lot of cutting and glueing and use of my scrapbook papers, but we did have fun doing it and each guest got to take home a slice of cake decoration there selves with sweet goodies inside. Love the monograms idea too. So clever!!!
SiouxMRN@aol.com
another great project.
I don't really do just initial monograms for decor or cards but I do like personalizing cards or signs with baby names. They always turn out sweet...just have to be certain of the name/spelling though!
I just bought this cartridge. I love the letter you made with it and can't wait to try some of my own. Thanks for sharing!!
I made a project once with a monogram, but other than that, I've not made a monogram. But your wall hanging for your craft room is lovely!
What a great gift idea!
I love your monogram, I don't think I have ever made a monogram project.
What girl wouldn't love that in her room?
I made Monogram Letters in frams for my Daughter in law @ Mother's day. They were the ints. for eac on her children (MY Gandbabies. Love the way yours came oout.
I haven't used a monogram, but after seeing your project...I think I see a project in my future.
I love the font. I dont really use monograms much though.

No I have not used monograms. But the boxes are great. I just purchased one of the boxes off etsy. If I win now I can make my own!! How fun!!
I don't normally use monograms but the way that you have designed this "j" letter I can see it might be a nice gift for relatives for relatively no cost. Great idea.

I do like the Fontopia cartridge...others that came out with it no so much!

I use monograms all the time, especially for handmade cards. My co-worker love to see their initials somewhere, anywhere...LOL
Thanks for the inspiration!!!
That font is REALLY Cute ..just love what you did with the initial - J - ...definitely worth looking into to have such a cool 'font'!!!
I love this cartridge--will use it a lot for example, monograms as the first letter of a word.
I love monograms!! I have my initials on everything from jewelry, stationery, a robe, to single K's that I pick up wherever I find them.
I love & use monograms a LOT! I like to do tiles for house warmings w/ the couples last name monogram & LOTS of swirls!!!

Too cute. Love monographs for the personalization. Keep them coming.
Haven't had an occasion to use monograms yet. Thanks for the chance to win this cartridge, i would love to have it.
I make framed monograms on glass (using vinyl) for wedding gifts, so Fontopia is a welcome addition for me.
Wow! I am a Font Freak and I'm surely going to have to add this to my collection. Smooches...
I just LOVE everything monogram! and i was looking for a cute cartridges to make little gift items, this would be perfect! Definitely thumbs up!

Your box is beautiful. Would love to own this cartridge to make some. I've used monograms in scrapbooking, but not framed. Thumbs Up! What a great idea. Love your blog and great ideas!!
That box is amazing! I make Xmas ornaments for gifts and this box would be just perfect!! I've got my fingers crossed [it won't help, but I've got them crossed anyway! ;)]!
My DD is getting married next June & I think a framed monogram would be fun a house-warming gift!
I'm lovin' the Fontopia cart! Definitely on my wish list!
I really like that font, it's really cute. I don't typically use monograms.

I love monograms...going to do one very soon....
Love the green box. I could sooooooo use that one for upcoming bridal shower for my daughter. I can see it now in yellow.
I love to use monograms! I made and gave note card sets to a dozen of my girl friends this last Christmas that were their fave color and monograms. I also have a collage hung on my craft room wall of my monogram that I've collected from over different place or made. I also have a traditional mark that I use on the back side of all my crafts. It's a green ribbon for transplant awareness with a K. My name is Kayla and I am a liver transplant recipient. I also follow this blog by email and love your inspiration for crafts of all kinds.

I haven't tried any project with just a monogram, but after looking at your project I am going to have to make a couple of projects that would be great gifts. Thank you for sharing and a chance to win. Hugs, Velma
I do use monograms. Although, I've never particularly been one for monogrammed towels, robes, etc. But, I love them for stationery and home decor. I love the Fontopia cart., but I don't have it, yet.

Just got Fontopia and To The Cabin carts for myself for my BDay. Fontopia is amazing and has a kind of log cabin font perfect! with the cabin cart. Nice triply fonts of course.
So pretty--love the bling!
I like the look of monograms but don't use them.
I like using them as a personal gift. Usually a small set of note cards is just the perfect thank you gift. Love this one!
This is really a pretty letter.
I've been wanting sweet tooth. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love. It! My name is Jan so want to make this!!!! Thanks for the idea!
I have never used monograms, I dont know why because its such a versatile idea.
I showed this to my daughter and she said, "Wish I were a kid again this would be great for my room." Told her, "We can still do this but I doubt Nate would like it."
Love the boldness of it.
That cart is on my wish list! I do use monograms!
Peggy E
I really like this font. Great project.
I have used mnograms on occasions but is not a common practice.
hermoso proyecto, felicitaciones, me encanta tu blog !!!
I like monograms but never seem to use them on my projects! I must try it! Very pretty!
I really like the J frame. Think I might purchase just the L and make something similar for my guest room, only in blues!
Really cute! I love the pink and black!!
Very pretty home decor. I haven't used monograms but this makes a case for doing so. Thanks for the chance to win.

I don't use monograms really at all, but after seeing this cute project, I am going to start!!
great idea! very pretty
Really adorable. I have not thought much about doing boxes and such but this is inspiring.
Hi, I didn't like the (J) when I first saw it but a different color made a great difference then seeing in that brown.
I love the box you made this is a must have cart.
I love monograms but do not have the Fontopia Cartridge. There are definitely beautiful possibilities.
I'm not big on monograms, but the frame is cute. I love the boxes cartridge!
Thinking of doing something like this for a wedding gift. I love the box cartridges, so many ideas.
How cute and wouldn't it be a great favor holder at a shower!
This is the best yet. I love it!
I like to use monograms - and I sometimes use a monogram as the actual first letter of a name or even as the first letter of a title on a scrapbook page.
Love the monograms idea!!!
I just got the Fontopia cartridge, can't wait to use it! I love monograms, I just made a wedding card using my cuttlebug and monogramed the Bride and Groom's initial in a heart shape on the front of the card. They loved it!
fiyetThese monograms are fantastic. How cool it will be to make them with Christmas colors and attach to each package. Thanks for showing them...
Donna at Mainely Folk
I don't really have a usage for monograms but I still think it's adorable. Thanks for showing it.
I always love monograms but I use them so rarely. Going to need to look into the Fontopia cartridge
I love monograms!!!
That is so pretty! I do love monograms but don't use them very often, I'm not sure why...I'd love to make some monogrammed notecards for my female relatives to give as Christmas gifts this year - just need to get busy making them!
Love this idea!
i love the details on the small things...
excited newbie...
lorraineharris06@gmail.com
I do use monograms! I recently made a monogrammed design frame to go with two wedding photos for my best friend using vinyl & cricut of course.
I'm a follower!
I think I could do so much with that cart!
