Hi there!!!
This is Cari posting and I'm thrilled to be guest blogging today.
I've got some fun projects to share that I created with one of my new favorite tools - the i-rock tool!!! I LOVE this thing!
I experimented with this tool a little bit as I was curious to see how it worked on other items besides paper (even though I love using it on my layouts! ).
My first little project was to add a bit of bling to a small glass vase. Yes, I said GLASS! It works great but you do have to be patient and keep the tool on the crystals for a while 'til they set.
These are the tools that I used for this project. My i-rock, the compact with the clear, pink & black crystals, the flower stencil , and a glass vase that I bought at the dollar store.
I then placed the stencil on the vase where I wanted it (you may want to use a bit of masking tape or some kind of adhesive to hold it in place) and carefully placed the crystals in the holes of the stencil. As you can see I didn't use the entire stencil design ... just the inside of the flower (circle shape).
I added a few small black ones in a circle around the pink crystals to finish it off.
Another fun project to use the i-rock on is fabric - like t-shirts, aprons, skirts, tote bags, etc. My daughter had a t-shirt that had this cute little floral design on it. Well, the Glam Rocks and Crystals that I had matched the design perfectly.
T-shirt BEFORE
T-shirt AFTER
(yes! My daughter was pretty excited to model this one!)
And now my favorite way to use the i-rock tool is on my layouts. I love the various ways it can add interest to my pages. On this layout I used the glam rocks around the corner of the patterned paper as a border.
The i-rock is also a great way to dress up punched borders as seen here. I also used the i-top tool for the center of my flowers.
Here is the finished layout. I used Splash Dance collection for this page.
I hope I have inspired you to try different things with your i-rock tool. Have fun and please make sure you share with us what you've created because we love to see what our Imaginisce fans do with our products!

Very awesome ideas!! I'd probably bling out some wine glasses....like add different designs and/or words. My girlfriends and I like to get together for drinks...how fun would it be to have our own personalized glasses?!
I'd like to add bling to picture frames and vases...a little sparkle is ALWAYS a good thing!
I live in FL, so I'd add bling to my flipflops and sun visors! Wow, that iTop sure looks neat!

Definitely I would add bling to my layouts and some frames I have sitting around.
Awesome projects!!! I would add bling to my cards, layouts, and pretty much anything that my girls would touch...they bloth love the bling!!!
Layouts and cards would be my constant things to add bling! But right now I have a canvas sling style tote that is calling for some embellishment and I was thinking the I-rock and crystals would be just the thing I need so I can be stylish at CHA in a few weeks!
I can't wait to get an i-rock!!!! Besides scrapbooking I would love to bling up some of my daughters clothes, who I am kidding, I would love to bling up some stuff for me too!!!!
Cari, you are so talented! These projects are awesome!
I would add bling to cards and layouts for sure. I also have a wooden tray laying around that needs some serious help. Heck, I would probably add bling to my laptop also. Everything looks good with a little extra bling.
I have so many picture frames just begging to be altered...I am sure they would love some i-rock bling added to them!
Love the projects. I want to add bling to Christmas ornaments. I have a ton of plain ones that the i-rock would really liven up.
I love the projects. The idea of blinging up my daughters shirts is great. The vase/candleholder would make great gifts.
I would bling up everything if I had an irock tool...layouts especially. Thanks for the chance to win one.
The fist thing I'll use it would be a rubber stamped flower image for a card.
I would add bling to just about everything!! Layouts, cards, Clothing, wood frames, ornaments, Other craft tools, the list could go on and on!!
Anything that I could bling up. Cards, scrapbook pages...the possibilities are endless.

I would add bling in my decorate pillows!!!! Can you imagine how awesome they will stay in my living room?????? And, of course, I would add in my layouts too!!! This tool is fabulous!!!!!
How cool! I think it would be cute to add some to my daughter's back pack and matching lunch box for school this fall. She would love that!
I would bling anything I could get my hands on. (ha, ha) I am known as the bling queen. I will most likely start with a layout but would also want to put it on wall art. Ck out my blog.
I am wanting to add bling to decoration for my daughter's wedding, like bling in the center of silk flowers to use as confetti. Then later use it for scrapbooks.
Awesome projects! I would add bling to my daughter's bedroom walls and to the inside of my camper!
I love these projects... I would bling out my home office... the lamp shades and the shelves!
I would love to add bling easier to my cards and layouts. sometimes you can't find gems and pearls in the shape you want and to try to put them down with your fingers (for me) as been impossible!!!
WOW...the glass looks AWESOME! I didn't think of that one. My SIL is getting married and needs to make center pieces. I think I may help with that...lol.
I would definitely like to bling up my pages and picture frames.
What wouldn't I bling??? LOL From cards to layouts to my DD's clothes... This tool is officially on my must-have list!
I want to with a IRock so bad!!!!!!!!! I used bling on every layout and card I do. I'd be blinging up everything I could get my hands on though with the IRock! That is so amazing that you can use it on glass and fabric! Fantastic!
I would add MORE bling to cards and I would love to make shirts for my daughter and also headbands. This is a MUST have tool!!!
flowerskissing@aol.com
I love bling so it would find its way on almost everything in the house...clothes, crafts, picture frames, glasses, the hubby...lol
The real question should be "what wouldn't I add bling to." I'd be blinging out all my stuff, clothes, shoes, okay, maybe I'd leave my husband bling free--for now!!
What wouldn't I add bling to with this? I can see so many uses for it and am excited to get one!
shamae35@gmail.com
I could {bling} on everything! But I am really looking forward to using it with mini books! My daughter wants to use it for her clothes! :)
All my layouts would be sparkling with jewels if I had an i-rock tool!
I would add bling to cards and layouts for sure.
Great job on all the projects,Cari! The tee shirt is just so cute. I would probaly use the IRock mostly for card making but I love the idea of using it on glass too; a great way to make table favors or little gifts when you need multiple items but don't want to spend too much. Thanks for a chance to win. Iris
I would definitely use it on my layouts, but after seeing this post I have to try some home decor items too !!
I would love to add bling to my layouts and frames.

Aside from scrap LO's and cards, I would LOVE to bling up my drab car some,lol. Make her last years on this earth special. I could bling up the dings. And also some candles for christmas presents, and love the idea of glasses, and photo frames and...
Ooh....I would make it useful for picture frames, ooh, or fabric for my sewing projects. Come on, I would use it for EVERYTHING!
I would be adding to some bling to my little girl's school clothes. That girl loves her some bling and she's all ready to go to Kindergarten! I'd also have to add some bling to my disney layouts that I'm working on!
Well, besides cards and layouts, I need to re-bling some capris. My son has picked most of the sparkles off my pants.
I add bling on everything! layouts, canvas stuff, tshirts, etc!
Bling is my thing...I'm thinking I'd try some flip flops first and then layouts, clothes, tote bags, etc!
I am so old school but my first thought was high top sneakers-would that not be totally cool!

Fabulous as always, Cari!
I think I would bling up my DD's clothes, my LO's and cards, some frames, and my scrapbook storage. Who doesn't need something beautiful to look at while they are creating??
I would bling my new baby girl's onesies, pacifiers, bottles, etc. You can never be too young for bling! I have to label them for daycare anyway, might as well be with bling!
I would love to bling my cards and LO!!!
My ideas may not be super original, but I'd for sure add the bling to my cards, and probably make matching envelopes for them. I think it would also be fun to add that extra sparkle to my sculptures! And, hey, while I'm at it, might as well fix my cat's collar up!

I would add it to my daughters shoes - to make them special
Well, of course to my pages and cards, but I've also started making hair bands and clips and I would totally glam those up.
Oh I must have this tool! How pretty is that on the glass vase! I love making stamped candles for gifts, and I would love to try this on them. Not dure if that would work, but I'd love to give it a try!
I would use this tool on my scrapbook pages as well as my brag books, our daughters grandparents really enjoy getting books with pictures of the girls! and my kids have some great shirts that would be so much more fun with some bling! and would like to try it on sunglasses and vases too!

I would add to my layouts and cards for sure!!
Very cool! I would love it for my scrapbook pages!
Wow! I would have never thought to use it on glass! I would use it on these ugly things we have in our bedroom. They are above the windows and don't match the paint or anything. I'm in the process of recovering them and would like to add some bling to it! Please help me out with that endeavor!

I would like to bling everything (scrapbook pages, cards, Tshirts,...), but first I must to bling my backpack:-)
What a great idea to jazz up a card or scrapbook page. I always look for new things to play with. Keeps me from getting into a rut and making the same "patterns" so to speak. I would bling my cell phone LOL
I would bling up all my paper and fabric crafts of course but I love the idea of using the I-Rock tool on glass! Thanks for that awesome idea!
defintiely blinging my layouts and cards, but i really liked how it looked on the shirt too!
I would bling my layout and cards, of course, but I'm thinking maybe I could add a bit of bling to my daughter's curtains too...

i'd add bling to my holiday cards and flowers!
I would definitely use the i-rock on layouts! And I think my co-worker would be really green with envy if I showed up to work with a new tote "blinged" up!
i would add bling to EVERYTHING - esp my scrap pages and perhaps my car keys :D
I would love to add some bling flourishes to my layouts. I have tried those ones that stick on and those stupid things the adhesive on the back always gets all garbled up and it looks horrible, I would love to have the i-rock to jazz up my layouts with ease!
My 6 year old daughter LOVES bling so I would use the i-rock to add sparkle to her school backpack and tennis shoes.
I would add bling to all my layouts!!!! And also an old purse, it would be very nice!
Besides adding bling to all my cards and layouts I would love to add some bling to the vanity mirror that is in my DD bedroom.
This looks WAY fun! I'd use it on cards to give some sparkle!

I would love to bling up my mini albums :)
Yes! I would love to win this great new tool so I can bling my scrapbook layouts and cards!
I have a plain canvas tote that I am going to embellish. I think some iRock bling would be the perfect touch!
I would use it on LO's for sure. But of course I would probably have to fight my daughter for it because she would want to bling all of her clothes!
Definitely on my layouts. I imagine I could make some fun hair accessories with this as well!
I LOVE this new tool, and would LOVE to have one of my very own. I live with 3 adorable boys (my darling husband included)and love them to bits, but it would be great to add a little bit of pretty sparkle to a few things around the house, just to remind me and others that a woman does live here he,he,he!!! I'm not sure what would be safe, but it would be a lot of FUN!
ok so i put any bling on EVERYTHING!!!! between glitter and jewels my cards/ scrapbook pages and decor is all sparkly lol
I put BLING on anything and EVERYTHING also. i would SO LOVE to own this tool!!!
Besides cards and layouts, I think it would be fun to add bling to some deco items around the house.
What WOULDN'T I bling out with this tool???
I would start on my paper crafting projects, move on to the clock in my creative studio, add a few elements on some journals I am working on...OH, I really would like to spruce up a simple T-shirt and then....my reading glasses!
OH YEAH!!!
I loved the ideas ... I like to decorate frames for projects
comment, tiaras, flowers, hair clips, boxes of scrap
décor, make the kernel of the buttons glow with these stones ... ultimately
thousand things ... Unfortunately at the moment I can not buy, so really wanted to win and so decorate everything and a little more with it.
Lots of love

I'd start by adding bling to some baby shower favors I'm making for a friend, then I'd move on to some t-shirts for my niece's 9th birthday party (they'd be some great treats for the girls)!
besides layouts and cards i will add bling to my daughters very boring bookcase!
Probably pretty boring, but I would add bling to my layouts and cards.
All the projects are awesome. I would bling anything that wouldn't move. :) I would love to make some bling t-shirts, flip flops, headbands, visors, some frames, and of course add to cards too. Thanks for a chance.
This is the coolest tool & I need to get me one. I would bling out pretty much everything....cards, layouts & epecially item in my house!!!! Thanks

I'd like to add some bling to my Cricut machine and probably some vinyl for my scrapping room walls. Bling ROCKS!!!!
I would spruce out some older layouts. I would also add some bling to my storage containers, the cute jars that hold my buttons and my cropper hoppers. I would probably just go nuts and turn my apartment into Barbie's dream house! Haha.
I love all of your ideas. I would use it to add bling to everything in my crafting area!!! Gotta Love the BLING!!! I have an 11 year old daughter that is really into bling so I would add it to her school supplies, clothes, hair accessories, cell phone, numerous electronic gadgets, probably everything she owns. Thanks so much for the chance to win!!!
I'd probably add bling to just about everything!
Fabulous projects! Funny you ask what we would add bling to with the I-rock tool....
My daughters brought me their crocs a few days ago wanting bling on them. I used glossy accents and some cheap bling that I had in my stash from the Dollar store and did it. Today...most ALL of the bling has fallen off...my 4 year old is VERY VERY disappointed about it. I would FIX the bling on their shoes with an I-rock...along with adding bling to many many other things!!! ...Most especially my scrap book pages and cards!
If I had an I-rock...well, if my dog walked by I might be tempted to bling him up!
I'd love to add some bling to a pair of flip flops!
I LOVE all the idea with this tool! I'm dying to buy i-rock but still can't find online store that have one they all out of stock! If I get one I wanna bling my daughter sneakers and of course my scrapbook pages!
I currently love heat transfer vinyl, and this would bling it up a notch!
I think I would bling out everything! Photo frames, tote bags, shirts, layouts, card, altered projects . . . !!! I love this tool, because the possibilites TRULY are endless!
Gorgeous projects! I love the candle holder, the t-shirt (and your daughter is SO cute!), and the layout! Great ideas and inspiration!!
I would love to try and add bling to a baseball hat!
I would add bling to my favorite jeans!
(and all my papercrafting projects of course!
I'd add bling to my daughters clothes, she is the bling princess lol
Wow, wow, wow!!!! You have inspired me big-time, Cari! Holy moly!!!
I think it'd love to make some really cool tank tops! My daughter and I are huge fans of tanks and how fun would it be to jazz 'em up ourselves rather than spending hours in different stores until we find what we like. I'd also love to jazz up some of the various alterable items I have made. Memory boxes, candle holders, etc.
This is really awesome, thanks for the chance! :)
My cricut, a few picture frames, a really cute tote bag I just bought that needs a little something, and on and on!
I would be thrilled to win as I haven't had any luck finding one to buy on the internet or localling. I want to add bling to my layouts, cards, clothing and anything else that doesn't move. I don't think I could stop. I think it would be fun to decorate ribbon, paper boards, chipboard letters, chipboard shapes, images on patterned paper and border a page layout!
Oh, my gosh! Where to start. Layouts, cards, altered items, my daughters clothes, my clothes, my nieces's stuff (shhhh, don't tell my sister), presents, and, and, and.... I could go on and on and on.
I would so love to get my hot little hands on one of these babies!
I'm thinking clear candle holders-especially the little votive ones. The bling would look gorgeous with the candle flickering behind it.

I would love to have one to add bling to the birthday girl shirt I bought myself! Im turning 26 and want to make it a fun birthday!

I would have to bling my scrapbook room. I love bling !! Thanks for the chance to win.
I would bling cards and tote bags and t-shirts
I would just add it to my layouts!
I would use it to make my 30th Birthday Party invites (AHHH getting old!! lol) and it would be great for my hair clips too. Neat - never seen such a nifty invention!
My granddaughter's tennis shoes. That child is the bling queen, LOL!
I would add bling...to just about everything! How about hair accessories for DD, scrapbook pages for me.
a little bling to my daughters ball cap would pretty it up nicely!
I would bling my Cricut,altered paint cans, ATC's and anything else I make.
I love the T-shirt, so I would have to give that a try. But my main hobby is scrapbooking, so I would use the tool mostly for adding embellishments to my layouts.
I would use it mostly on my scrapbook pages, but I would not resist using it at some t-shirts, my belt and my purse!!!
I would bling up a cute pair of flip-flops and maybe a leather cuff for my wrist. That would be awesome! And of course, scrapbook pages!!!
My jean pockets!
that shirt is really cute. I'd add it to a picture frame for a wedding gift.
As a momma to 2 precious boys I would add bling to my scrap pages!!!
i love bling! I would add to my scrap pages and cards!
Thanks for this chance!

i guess the question is what wouldn't I bling. I love the idea of doing cloth. I thing some of my daughters cloth diapers could use a little bling. wouldn't that be cute.
Also my grandmother recently got her bedazzler taken away by the nurses in the hospital (she is has breast cancer) She thinks that all of the hospital gowns and cancer caps are sooo ugly, so i would be her partner in crime and her her bling out the cancer ward behind the nurses back's.
I love the versatility of this tool! All the showcased projects here are delightful. I have a cutie new lil' girl puppy here and she is just dying to have a collar with some bling. DH refuses to buy or let me buy one of them at the store, so this would be the first project I would have to use this fab tool on! Then of course there would be a bling-o-liscious puppy photo shoot...LOL!... so I could use the tool again on some scrappy pages!
it looks like fun. i would like to add a little bling to some of the notebooks i use to store notes, stamps, stencils and other stuff in. they not sit on a shelf wit printed designs on the spines but no pizzazzzzzz!
I would definately start with my LO's, cards & OTP but then there is always the rest of the house.....glasses, frames.....ooohhhh DH & kids better be careful...they just might get 'i-rocked'..............LOL!!!
You're on Facebook YAY!! ....I "I Like"'ed you!! LOL
