This is Tammy and I am excited to show you my Pink Ribbon Magnet project made with the
PINK JOURNEY cricut cartridge.
I made these for some friends who are walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-day Walk for a Cure. It takes a special person to make that walk and I personally appreciate what they are doing! While this project is easy, it really helps to have some handy tips that will make the process even easier. I not only show you how to cut magnet material, but I demonstrate it with the 'baby bug' both using the Gypsy and not using the Gypsy. You will also learn how to use the TEMPLATE feature in the Gypsy (love that one!) .
I have broken it up into parts:
Part 1: How to layer vinyl on top of the magnet material without leaving air bubbles
Click HERE if you don't see the video.
Part 2: Using the Gypsy with the original Cricut
Click HERE if you don't see the video
Part 3: Using the TEMPLATE feature of the Gypsy to cut sentiments for ribbon magnet.
Click HERE if you don't see the video
I love this project. So simple to do, but so appreciated!
This is the one I made for my MIL, Edith. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over a year ago and is now a Breast Cancer Survivor! (love you mom!).
Well, I hope that you found my post today inspiring. Like I said in the first video, there is a ribbon image located on the STAND & SALUTE cartridge if you do not own the PINK JOURNEY yet. And don't forget about all the other 'awareness' ribbons... each color can represent many different things, click HERE to see a listing of all the colors and their meanings.
Scrappingly yours,

What a great video and a wonderful chance to win this cartridge. I would love that. I have walked on a relay team for a few years as my grandma is a survivor this year i am putting together my own relay team and really excited for that. I am so sure this cartridge would be wonderful for that. Again thanks for the opportunity.

Very nice! What a great way to celebrate those who survive and to remember those who sadly do not. Inspiring.

Hooray Pink Journey!
Thanks for the Pink Journey tutorial - this cart is quite special - thank you for giving us a chance to win it!
Thanks for the tutorial! I *love* the "I Walk 2009" font...is it from the Gypsy?
We lost my Grandma to breast cancer about 4 years ago. I'd like to win this cartridge and use it to make an album as a tribute to her, her life and her battle. Thank you for this opportunity!
Though I don't know anyone personally with breast cancer, I would totally sport one of these on my car to support the strong and courageous ladies who've been afflicted by this disease.

Excellent tutorial and I learned a couple of things I didn't know. Thank you so much for sharing and what an awesome gift.
You are doing a great jobs with these tutourials. PLease keep it up. And God Bless your mom and keep her cancer free.
Thanks for showing me some special steps (templates) using my Gypsy. I really like that idea. However, I wonder why you used the deep housing in part 1 and the regular housing in step 3. They were both magnets. oh well I will experiment with both.
Great idea, thanks for the tutorial and the little hints!!!
Wow! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to win the cartridge! One of our family friends was recently diagnosed with stage 3 Breast Cancer. It has been and extreme battle for her and her family. This whole thing is slowly tearing them apart. It is a painful, painful thing to go through. I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for supporting for a cure! I just put your blinky on my blog Thanks for the chance to win!

whoops! forgot the link to my blog!

Hi Margaret!! You asked why I used the deep cut housing in Part I and the regular housing in Part II. It's because I was cutting magnet material in Part I and just vinyl alon in Part II. I hope that answers your questions!!
I love this project and know alot of women I could make this for.
Karen
Just got the deep cut blade and will give this technique a try. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing! The more I see on vinyl, the more brave I get.

I have a dear friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 8 months pregnant. I am happy to say that both the baby and she are fine and celebrating a cancer free 1 year birthday together this year!
Great tutorial! I have been using the magnet material for a ton of different projects. Thanks for the chance to win this cart.
I am a BC survivor and would love to win this cartridge. I wish you could buy this one separately, as I'm sure this cartridge would be a best seller. It's nice that you do videos to help people use the Cricut to its fullest. Thanks for the opportunity to win this Pink Journey Cartridge.
Rebecca:)
Thanks for the chance to win this wonder cartie!! Would love to have this cartridge. Already have Personal Cricut and the Expression. Definitely don't need a third! :)

Great tutorial! I love this cart! There are so many great possibilities. What a great cart to come out and be shared with women around the world. Thanks for all you have done with it so far!
Thanks for this tutorial! I would love to be able to make these for my SIL who is currently going through chemo treatments for Breast Cancer. Her and my brother are also doing a four day walk next year and this would be a lovely gift!
Thanks for the tutorial - especially the part on avoiding air bubbles! I would buy this cart at full price if it were available separately! I have an aunt, 2 cousins, and a friend that are survivors. I would love to win this cart to make magnets, cards, and layouts. Thanks again for sharing your creativity.
Thanks for the great tutorial. I was thinking today, how can I make a magent for my vehicle and here it is.
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I have cut vinyl but not the magnet material and liked the tip of how to attach it. The brayer method to attach to the mat was another valuable tip.
I would love to win this carthridge. Please Please pick me . Oh and the magnet that is pretty cool. My dad he died of breast cancer 1-2-07. So if I was to win this crthridge would be a memorial to him. Susan
Wonderful tutorials. I love the magnetic idea! just perfect.... I hope they sell this cartridge separately. I have so many ideas for next years BC awareness!
Great tutorial Tammy...appreciate all your hard work!!!
I hope PC will decide to release this cartridge for all who would love to own it!!

Terry

Thanks for sharing insights on this delightful cartridge. I could certainly use it to help create flyers, posters & cards for breast cancer awareness and fundraising activities to benefit Susan G. Komen For The Cure.
