Welcome to Freebie Friday and the final day (sigh) of our Cards & Gifts Week celebration! Hopefully you’ve enjoyed your sneak peek of 225 Cards & Gifts both here and on Moxie Fab World. If anything, we hope this fantastic special issue is at the top of your wish list, if not shopping list!
For those of you just joining us today, make sure to read all of our nifty gifty posts this week. From chatting with rising star Maren Benedict to dressing up gift cards, “wrapping” with Kim Kesti, and making wishes with Susan Opel, we’ve had a grand ol’ time! And special thanks go out to all the manufacturers who’ve donated their fabulous product for our daily giveaways! As always, your generosity is much appreciated!
Today I’m going to spotlight the last two chapters of 225 Cards & Gifts – home décor and miscellaneous gifts! If you thought we had shown you every gifty thing you can do with paper, think again! To me, these projects personify the word “gift” and would make a lovely addition in anyone’s home.
Here’s one of my favorite projects from our Heartfelt Gifts of Home Décor section:
Alicia Thelin’s Inspire Frame & Card
And who wouldn’t love to receive this beautiful ensemble from our Gifts from the Heart section?:
Tish Treadaway’s Beautiful Life Journal & Pencil Holder
Are you ready for our unbelievably huge giveaway? I hope you’re sitting down because if you’re not, you soon will be! Today we’re giving you 12 chances to win one of these incredible prizes from our very generous friends at Provo Craft:
Think of all the gifty gifts you could create with The Cricut Expression:
Or all the albums you could creatively concoct with the Your Story Binder/Laminator:

I would love the Cricut..or wait..maybe the binder..I can’t decide!! Thanks for an awesome “Freebie Friday” and I hope to be one of thelucky winners. You folks are just great!!
I would love to win the cricut expression….so many possibilites for scrappin, home decor, and card making
) Thnaks for a chance to win!!!
I have visited and been totally inspired by the designers participating in this give away. Someday, I hope to be that good with a glue stick.
But for today, I’ll just keep my fingers crossed for a Yudu…
Wow, I just made it through all 12 blogs — what inspiration! It makes me want to run over to my craft table and get going! I would looooooove any of these prizes, but I think I’d get the most use out of a Cricut Expression. I’ve had my baby bug for a long time and would love to be able to cut larger sizes!
the yu-du of course…. maybe that way I can convince my sister to come and visit!

I would love to win the Cricut Expression! I’ve had my eye on this for what seems like forever but we just can’t afford it right now. It really looks like a wonderful machine that would help so much with my scrapbooking, card making, gift making and my kids’ school projects!!!
Wonderful work. Great project. I’m most excited about The Cricut Expression!!! To have this machine is my big dream.
All of the prizes are wonderful! I would especially love the Cricut Expression. I have seen so many wonderful projects using the Expression!
Awesome prizes! I would love to win the Your Story to make flash cards and mini learing albums with my little guy!
On my first post I put the Cricut Expression as my first choice, and the YUDU as my second choice. But, by the time I was done talking about screen printing and how it was something I have never tried, I think the YUDU would definitely be my first choice. (Cricut is clearly second by a hair!)
I would love to win the Cricut! I decided to buy a Wishblade a long time ago because their images could be used for my craft sale items. I’ve been kicking myself ever since because the Cricut images are so much cuter! Everytime I see a cartridge, I think of a ton of my personal projects that it could be used for.
What a great bunch of prizes! I would like win the cricut expression because it is so cool and it would be a huge help with making cards because I make cards for ladies with breast cancer and I like to make them by the bunches and I know that theres a feature on the cricut expression that lets the user make multiples of one icon.Great prizes! thanks!
Cricut Expression. I want on soooo badly!
I want that Yudu – my brain is spinning with ideas!!
While all three are awesome items, I think the Cricut Expression is my heart’s desire.
I’d love to receive the Your story binder/laminator. It will come in handy as a teacher!!!Thanks for the chance and for sharing your great work!!
screen printer! i would be so cool to make t-shirts etc!
WOW! I’d absolutely love the Cricut Expression.
I would LOVE to win the screenprinting machine! I didn’t know they had a new product like that!

OH my! They are ALL fabulous!!!! Im loving the expression but am most intriuged by the screen printer!! That would be a DREAM!
They are all fantastic prizes! What a great preview to what I’m sure is going to be a great book for inspiration and ideas. I would really love to win the Cricut Expression. First, because I’m cutting challenged and I love what that machine can do to a sheet of paper (or vinyl, or cork, or felt…) And second, because I’m really enjoying crafting for home dec and the ability to go BIG is very appealing to me! Thanks PC for all the opportunities to win! I’ m already a winner with all the great inspiration the crew has shared! Double gratitudes!
