This is so much fun! I am also singing the Secret Agent song! 🙂 I would love to see you alter more items, such as items found at the dollar store or Target. You are great with turning something plain and boring into something creative and spectacular!
I need some tips on distressing and inking my items before cardmaking or scrapbooking. Thanks for the chance to win!!

Gosh, what haven’t you done… I mean you are SUPERJOY!!! : )

Thanks for the chance to win!

Thanks for a chance to win!

Joy, I’d like to see you do a post about creating word collages. I have seen them on several blogs, always the finished product but I’m not sure how to do it with the Cricut. Thanks for asking. 🙂
Well, I’d really like for you to write about how to make password protected posts! Wouldn’t that be super-fun to know?! OK, on techniques, I’d like a little lesson on Tim Holtz products — and what’s the difference between inks, stains, big spray bottles, spritzers and now daubers with all his inks?
Then another thing — refilling Copics. I tried that … ended up with yellow practically-permanent ink all over my hands and made me look relatively jaundiced for a bit. What’s the secret?! I put in “enough” ink and then it dripped around the nib. Do you have to replace the nibs when you refill? So much for trying to be thrifty and use refills!!
But now that I have all this refill ink, can it be used to make my own Glitter Mist, like I use reinker ink?
Enquiring minds want to know! Thank you for a chance to win; if I am lucky enough, I think I’d choose the cake pops book and regift it to my daughter for Christmas — she loves making those things!! (And she got me into papercrafting, so SHE is an enabler!

As always, I love your posts about Cricut projects. Maybe some cool projects using embossing with powders and heat guns? I’d also like to know more about using eyelets. Thanks Joy!
I’d love to see a post on creative ways to integrate ribbon into cards and scrapbook pages. I have tons of ribbon but I don’t always know what to do with it!

Would love to see more cricut projects Thank you for offering this awesome giveaway
I need some tips on vinyl. I am afraid to try it. I need to know what I need to start using it and where to start. I know you have a video but I just havent taken that first step towards using it yet.

You can probably guess what it is that I want to see a post about….the Cameo! Would love to hear what you think about it’s cutting force and how it does on different media. Santa needs to know if he’s bringing me one for Christmas or not. Actually, I’m sure he’ll be surprised to find out he’s bringing me any kind of cutter at all :D.
Oh yay! Finally got in with the password…this secret agent stuff is hard…now I know why James Bond earns the big bucks! LOL! That was crazy fun! I would like to see tips on layering vinyl. I would also like to see anything “tipsy” with the Gypsy! (Sorry…didn’t mean for that to rhyme) 😀 Love your blog, Joy and am always checking in with fb…to keep up with the great inspiration you give!

Tanya T, You cracked me up with your James Bond reference. 😉
~Joy~
I’ll agree with so many others, a post on vinyl!!
SUPER JOY, I would have to say the CAMEO too….I am sooo interested in trying these svg files, but deeply afraid to use my cricut to try them…and need all the help and support to convince the old hubby I NEED ONE FOR CHRISTMAS;) thanks for all you do and your such a SUPER JOY to be around!!!…[email protected]
I’d be interested in an article about the rarity of Cricut cartridges. Like the ones that were only available to Cricut Circl members–how rare are they really? Are they truly awesome, or just another checkmark on the list?
🙂
Thanks for the great site!
HI Joy, I need help on embossing. Whenever I emboss it never looks that great. Also, a demo on cakepops since I just saw that is one of the prize choices.
THanks for a chance to win something.

I’m fairly new & haven’t had to time to look at all you’ve done. I’d like to see ideas for Thanksgiving cards and/or Christmas gifts. Thank you!!
I would lie to see more about the Cameo! Thanks Joy for this fun post and giveaway!
the spray mist inks how they can be used with lace and vinyl on a canvas or chipboard book. I’m sure you would come up with fun and wonderful paper art.
Would love to see a post on using embossing powders.
I would like to see the cameo and what it’s all about! 🙂
Thanks!!! The secret post was fun!!!!
Tina (locnet1 at aol dot com)
Wow! I, would love to see you do a post on the many features of the new Silhouette Cameo, particularly the print and cut feature which is so foreign to me!!! I would love to see you do this post from the beginning…from where you get the image(s) to the steps you take to get that image into the program and the final steps to printing the images and then getting the Cameo to cut them out…I’m the type of person who needs to see things before they make sense to me! Thanks Joy!!!
hugs,
joni
I love to alter things and I use inks and stickles on altered items, cards, tags, etc…but I seem to have trouble doing that on my layouts. I would like to see things on that.
Like the first post, I would love to see tips on inking and distressing.
[email protected]
How about repurposing aka recycling used containers or more organizing tips/tricks. I like anything you come up with. 🙂 Thanks this was fun! Kathi
I love scrapbooking, but don’t always feel I’m using my Cricut to its best advantage. Maybe a post about what features really are great for scrapbooking with the Cricut (or possibly any die-cutter.)
Joy,Your Silhouette Cameo looks ready cool! I just ordered 4 carts today! I have been good for 2 weeks till today.I like to see more Imagine posting,Have you done a tp album yet? Joy
Yay! I got in! That was too cool! I feel so special to have the secret password! LOL! I NEED to see more on the Gypsy! I just got mine about 4 months ago and I do use it alot…but I know there is SO much more that I can be doing with it! 🙂 And I would like to see about the Cameo…sounds really interesting! NOT that I need more to buy! 🙂

I do feel like a secret agent! Had to log into Firefox to get it to finally work! You know, I’ve made a couple of cards with the Just a Note cartridge that came with my E2 but I don’t feel like I’m using it to its potential. How about something like that? Thanks for a chance to win!
I would like to see some posts on distressing and inking. Here’s a tip for you…to make eyes on something, you dip the tip (the opposite side of the brush) in paint. WA LAA! Perfect dots. Then you are so crafty that you probably already knew this. Thanks for a chance to win.
I would love more cricut help and layering.

I would love to how to make Subway Art and any other creative things you have hiding under your Superr Joy cape.

Thanks

I would love to learn more about anything you wish to teach us (I’ve learned so much from you already). I am just starting out with the vinyl, so that’s a good place to start. They gypsy and cricut craft room are two other areas I need work in.
The secret password was fun! Thanks for offering another great giveaway.

Hi Joy! I would like to see the easiest techniques on how to ink and distress! Thanks for a chance to win!

Well this was a challenge all on it’s own getting in here to post. LOL, I would love to see more projects on Thanksgiving and Christmas maybe decor or something in that order. Could be using vinyls as well, don’t have many colors but love vinyl. Another would be cutting fabric with the cricut, I have had no luck on that at all. All it does is fray my fabric and make me use words I didn’t know I knew! Oh MY!!!
angel hugs
Debby
I’d love to see more on Christmas projects as we are getting ready for the busy holiday season. You always do a great job on ideas and I would like to see what you have in store for us this year. Thank you so much!
Secret Agent man, Secret Agent man…
Oops I lost my head there for a minute! LOL
I love anything 3D and I also love the home decor projects. I would especially love gift ideas for Christmas.
Tammy
Wow Joy, you have done so much already, I would like to see the process of making stamps (factory) and or sending them out to the purchasers!
I always love to see ideas for home decor using vinyl. I have a lot of wall space I need to fill. I also love to see your projects using the gypsy and cricut. Thanks for the giveaway!
Woo Hoo! I got in! 🙂 I have to tell you, when you mentioned Secret Agent Man it made me laugh because for 20+ years I thought it said “SECRET ASIAN MAN” and I couldn’t figure out why in the heck they would say that! Then one day it was on the radio and my Dh was singing along to it and when I heard him sing SECRET AGENT, I said oh my gosh…. now that makes sense!!! It was hilarious!! ( Now I got the song stuck in my head by the way!)
Ok, enough blabbing about that. I too would like to see more inking and distressing techniques. I ink the edges of my cricut cuts a lot, but I don’t always like how it turns out. I have seen some amazing inking by a lot of bloggers and I always wonder how they do that. I would like to know about he different types of inks as well. 🙂
thanks for the fun giveaway!
