Santa Flying off the Tag

Exciting news for me, I was asked to be a guest designer at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!  The challenge is to make a project with Cricut tag cuts.  The prize this week is Coredinations paper and cuts beautifully on the Cricut. 

I have a very thin mantel with a frame above it so this project has a perfect spot in my house.  I used a welded tag shape from Fabulous Finds for the base.  On my gypsy I layered another tag shape to create a frame the "Ho Ho Ho" charms.

Cuts:

Tag Base- 5 in, Fabulous Finds, cut 2 gluing one more pane base

                 4 in tag window welded with Gypsy

Ho, Ho, Ho- 3.25 in, Christmas Cheer, charms suspended with thread

Sleigh- 2.25 in, Christmas Cheer

Santa- 3 in, Christmas Cheer, Face Peachy Keen Stamps

Deer- 2.25 in, Christmas Cheer

Santa bag, 3.25 in, Joys of the Season

Deer is attached to sleigh with floral wire.



String Up the Lights

I like the "old school" Christmas lights.  (I even have them on my house.)  Here is a string of lights I made with my Christmas Cheer cricut cartridge.  I raided the kids craft stash and tied the paper lights to a braid of plastic lanyard string.  And what project would be complete without a little ribbon?  This is my entry for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog's Rolling in Ribbon challenge.

Baby, It's Cold

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #15: Feeling Frosty!  The challenge was to use the following materials: white paint, metal, and a snowflake cut on your project this week.  I used white paint mixed with glitter for the "snow" that Mr. Snowbird is standing on.  To incorporate the metal in the project, I dug out some metal ring tags for a place to journal my photos.  Snowflake cuts are surrounding Mr. Bird because it's cold outside.
