3D Chandeleir!!

Hello friends! Look what I made for my daughter. I made it in her favorite color pink too! This 3D chandelier is on Cricut Events Girls Makeup Party Cartridge! This chandelier is so cute! What girl doesn't want a chandelier hanging from their ceiling? This cart has a lot of great girl cut on it. My daughter loves this cart :)


I cut the chandelier @ 5 1/2 in. I cut each chandelier cut twice on pink 12 x 12 in card stock and I cut each chandelier cut one time each out on chip board. I adhered the pink card stock to outside of chip board on each side. I did this so the chandelier would be more sturdy. Used i-rock to adhered the silver gems, added some acrylic beads and silver chain to the top of chandelier. You know me!! I had to make this chandelier shine up with a lot of glitter:)

Linking this project to this challenge. Simmon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. Simmon Says "Anything go this week" :) Hope you all like my chandelier.

Have a great week friends. Thanks so much for looking ;)

A heart card!

Added a white foam heart sticker, blue ribbon, pen stitched around card and stamped With Love on card. This was a easy card to make. Hope you like this card :)
