Sulley

It's been a long time (at least it feels like it) since I've done a challenge post, but I wanted to do this one for sure. The challenge this week at BBTB2 is a Disney challenge. I LOVE most things Disney and the cartridges are no exception.

This is Sulley from the Best of Pixar cartridge. I couldn't decide so I had my son pick a movie, I picked the image from there. He is cut at 4 1/4" to be sure the small pieces cut ok. I got some new blades from Roland a couple of weeks ago and they did make quite a difference on the tiny cuts. I also used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the background stars. (The card is 6"x6" by the way.)

I actually used some washi tape on my card. I usually forget I have it or don't have anything that works. I used the black diamond and a row of narrow white above it. You can't see it but it mutes the colors of the stars underneath. 

I hope everyone has a great Sunday night and a great new week.

Snow

The challenge this week at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge is to do a project with snow. I have started making tags for some family members that I can put a pocket on for a gift card. Shipping can get ridiculous, especially since it's going 2000 miles.

The both tags were cut from Plantin Schoolbook, the white at 6 1/2" and the blue at 6". The bear is from Joys of the Season as is the large snowflake. The tree is a leftover cut from a different project. There is "snow" glitter on a few of the embossed snowflakes and the ground beneath the bear. The silver flakes are made from DCWV Glitzy glitter paper. It's super sparkly, but I can never get my camera to get a good shot. The embossing on the blue was done with a Cuttlebug folder.

Christmas Tag

The challenge the week at BBTB2 was to make a gift bag or tag. I obviously chose the tag;-) I think it's going to my brother-in-law for Christmas. The plan is to make a pocket on the back to hold a gift card. I know I have a cartridge that has a pocket cut, but I couldn't find it and my computer was not near my craft room. I'll check My Cut Search when I'm done posting so I can finish the little guy.

 I used Plantin Schoolbook for the tag (love that tag), and cut it at 6 1/2". The snowman was from Best Images of 2010 and he was cut at 3 1/2" The snowman was cut from stash paper scraps, which I am always glad to be able to put to use. The background paper is from an older DCWV holiday stack. The tag was embossed with a snowflake embossing folder. It really added some dimension to the tag, it was boring flat. The green border is from a Martha Stewart punch and the top trim is from Scrapbuck and the bottom from Michaels. Scrapbuck has some great stuff and I can shop without killing my budget, love that! I thought about putting the snowman on an Action Wobble but decided it might not hold up in the mail so went with foam tape instead.

I hope everyone is enjoying getting ready for the holidays.
