This month we’re celebrating our bloggers and their creativity. In January 2014 at CHA, bloggers gathered at our CHA Networking Event to meet companies and to work more with us here FaveCrafts. After getting a bunch of crafty swag from the event, they set out to make projects out of the materials they were given. We’re featuring these projects all month with giveaways so you can make your own versions of their wonderful crafts.
You Are My Favorite DIY Card
In our contest last month, each of these blogger crafts were voted upon by fans for a great prize! The You Are My Favorite DIY Card by Catherine Pooler from CatherinePooler.com came in third place!
Is there a better feeling than looking in your mail box and finding an unexpected handmade card from a friend? Show the special people in your life how much they mean to you with this You Are My Favorite DIY Card. As far as homemade card ideas go, this one is truly unique.
You can find this project, as well as many other fabulous blogger projects, in our new eBook, The Best Blogger Craft Ideas 2014: Decoupage, Sewing, Jewelry Making, and More free eBook. Download your own free copy today!

Not much into ‘bling’ unless it’s pretty subtle.. I am more into the natural look, and letting the components do the “shining”!!
Sure would love to have some fun with this prize!!
Some days I need to add bling and others I like to just go natural.
i love to stay natural in my crafts as well…..staying natural with greater creativity makes crafts even more attractive for the people….and on top i love it!!
To bling or not to bling? Depends on the mood, the craft, the bling-at-hand.
The older I get the more bling I require! Sorta like reverting back to my childhood! Too much fun…
Bling away baby! What is anything without bling!!
I love bling. But I also like natural. It just depends on my inspiration at the time.
depends on the craft at the time,
Do I have to choose? I love both ways…depends on the project!
the less bling on scrapbook sheets the better, too much hides the photos
I love bling and natural together. Its nice to have it together 😉
You know how to get a crafter excited. Oh, the possibilities.
It depends on the page I’m working on some get bling and others are all natural. Every page depends on who is the subject all our kids have different personalities and I try to show that on their pages when scrapbooking !! For crafts in general I prefer bling !!!
Bling is great for some cards but some need to be more somber. Variety is the spice of life so a variety of supplies is essential.
I like a little bling but it needs to be subtle
It really depends on who I am doing for.
always bling of some sort..stickles, rhinestones, etc.
Bling makes everything better!!!
Love to put some bling here and there on a project, it just finish it off
natural for most crafts but for some of my granddaughters craft I add a little bling to make them feel special.
I love both bling and natural pages. Just getting started on paper crafting and would love to have all this added to my small craft supplies. Thank you,
Thank you so much for choosing me as your winner!!! I am beyond happy!! You have brought a much needed bright spot to my stressful day!! Blessings to you and yours!! I cannot wait to play with these goodies!! <3

Hello Again!!! I just wanted to let you know that I received my goodies in the mail today and I am super charged with excitement about making time to use all of these products!! Thank you and thanks also to Darice for the wonderful gifts!!! I am ever so grateful! <3
If I’m crafting with the kids I do bling because the little ones love it. When I’m doing something for the house or for a gift for an adult I tend to go more natural. We just love crafting anyway we can.
