Hello my fellow Cricuteers!  Another Terrific Tuesday at Exploring Cricut is here :) And today I wanted to share with you two quick projects. The first one is a tag/ornament created based on the following sketch: For this I used Gypsy Wanderings (snowman tag) hid the snowman part and cut blackout on red and tag on red and white chevron from DCWV The basic stack.  Flower was made with MCT Rolled flower  using DCWV's stack 8.  The ribbon rossette is made with  sheer ribbon 1/4" wide.  Center of the flower is from Docerela,  a white mini rose.  More sheer ribbon, strung beads and lace - from stash- to finish the tag.  Sentiment " May your holiday season be merry and bright" is from IBS.  For the ornament hook I used 18 gauge wire, 4 bicone beads, 2 roundels and a tear drop bead, round nose pliers. Now for my second project. I followed this  LO sketch: I used Formal Occasions Cart for the frame (corsag...

Happy Monday my fellow Cricuteers!  I hope your week is off to a great start! This fine Monday morning brings with it another challenge at   Exploring Cricut,   the theme COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS !  make a card, layout, or paper craft celebrating   Thanksgiving .   For my project today I created a paper lantern, perfect to decorate anywhere around the house: Recipe: For this project using Cricut Craft Room, I welded 2 Leaf frames from the  Pooh  and Friends cartridge with a phrase from Gypsy Wanderings and a tag from  Cricut   Essentials ( to create the tab to close my lantern) The frame was cut @ 5" and the phrase @ (3.42 x 2.5"). Cut at this dimensions it also fits a square Box of Tissues so, I think I could add a lid and turn it into a tissue box cover!!! ( a project for another time :) Please NOTE : The base of the frame has all the marks to place the upper layers but once I welded the phrase with it they...

Hello my fellow Cricuteers!!! I hope your week is going well. Today's post is my project for Terrific Tuesday over at Exploring Cricut.   If you have followed me for a while you know that one of my favorite cartridges is Create a Critter and as unbelievable    as it might seem I have yet to use many of the images in it. With that said here is my project: a 3D Turkey plant stake.... This cute Turkey was cut at 4 in and the twist is not that he sits on a garden stake but the " 3D" effect on the back ;) I cut the "feathers" 6 times to create the fan on the back. This stake will embellish a terrarium I created for a dear friend of mine whose birthday is Nov. 28th and this year falls on Thanks Giving Day so nothing more appropriate than a Turkey right? *wink**wink* What do you think maybe adding a "gobble, gobble" tag to the front? mmh... will see ;) Now for a quick birthday card, seriously 10 mins flat!!!   This is a 5...
