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,

Excellent tutorial and I learned a couple of things I didn't know. Thank you so much for sharing and what an awesome gift.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a great jobs with these tutourials. PLease keep it up. And God Bless your mom and keep her cancer free.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, thanks for the tutorial and the little hints!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! 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!!
ReplyDeleteI love this project and know alot of women I could make this for.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Just got the deep cut blade and will give this technique a try. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! The more I see on vinyl, the more brave I get.

ReplyDeleteI 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.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great tutorial. I was thinking today, how can I make a magent for my vehicle and here it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
