Getting Cricky U R So Sweet Blog Hop

Welcome to the "U R SO SWEET" Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!
We're so happy you could join us for this month's Getting Cricky Design Team Blog Hop!!  We have an EXTRA SPECIAL hop for you this month -- All week long, the Design Team has been featuring many of Kristal's stamp sets in anticipation of the hop...  If you've missed out on any of the week, be sure to check out our previous posts for MORE THAN 100 CREATIVE IDEAS and PROJECTS using Kristal's stamps as well as giveaways, promotions, tips, and tutorials!!

If you've hopped along from Heather then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard, or reading this via email, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Kristal's blog (you'll want to catch up on all the FUN!!)...

Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS  Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, Adopt a Classroom, and Autism Research Institute. Kristal will donate $1 for every stamp set sold, retail or wholesale to the charity noted; and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. So you can feel good that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help!

K Andrew's stamps are all made and assembled here in the USA, which is very important to Kristal. This ensures all product materials are safe and that jobs are being provided and maintained here in America.  You can learn even more about Kristal's stamps (and pick some up for yourself) by visiting her online store: K Andrew Designs:





Kristal's stamp sets are perfect for cards, layouts, and so much more...

For my project, I'm featuring the Owly Hoo sentiments and you will also notice I could not resist using the new It's Valentines set also. For more details or to make this set YOURS, please click on the preview:





It's Valentines

Soooo....Here is my project.  It is an altered Cricut Cartridge Box.  I just LOVE doing these.  It is cheap and EASY!!!  If you will tune in here on Saturday, I will give you the cutting dimensions for the paper to make it even easier!
I used the Owly Hoo Art Image set and the sentiment "A Love Note" is from the new It's Valentine sentiment set pictured above.
For those of you that are curious.  I spray painted the box with black first.  I either use black or a light brown on all of them before I cover them with paper.  Buy the kind of spray paint that is made to paint on plastic other wise it will peel off the edges and look yucky!  The flower is from the Flower Shoppe project cartridge.  Love that one!
Here is a close up of the layered pile-o-hearts.  I stamped them, colored with copics, cut them out and popped them up.  I don't normally like tedious cutting out of things, I mean duh! isn't that what the Cricut is for, but it was worth the time, these are so cute!
Here is a close up of the note cards that I made with the scraps from the paper I covered the box with and stamped with the It's Valentine sentiment.  I hope you like this and feel inspired.  Don't for get to return Sunday to see who wins the free K. Andrew stamp sets.  There will be 5 winners!!!  Comment on this post to be entered and go to my older posts from this week to see how to get entered more times.

Don't forget...if you go to K. Andrew Designs and purchase $25 or more you get this cute mini set for free.  Use the code JANAFREESHIP and you get free shipping.  What a deal! The free shipping is for any order no matter how big or small!

If you played along during preview week I have blog candy to give away.  If you didn't, that's OK, just leave a nice comment, become a follower and I will enter your name in the drawing as well.  There will be 5 winners announced Sunday evening, January 22.  Each lucky winner will get to choose a set of K. Andrew Stamps!
Now you can hop on over to your next stop: Jennie ......
