Ornament Challenge

Cricut Circle has a Monthly Magazine Challenge and this month it's all about something to hang from your Christmas tree. Each entry must include at least 4 cricut cuts and mine has 10 as well as some other Provo Craft product. I chose to use the Cuttlebug Snowflake Embossing Folder. I used a mirror finished paper which took the embossing beautifully, a metalic teal color, a crystal to hang from the bottom and lots of silver metalic ribbon. I can't wait to put it on my tree in a couple of weeks.



Hope you take a moment to make something for your tree.

Enjoy.

Birds of a Feather

This weeks Cricut Circle Challenge was all about birds. Here are the specifics on the challenge:

The birds are flying south for the winter and we’re heading inside to “feather” our own nests in preparation for the cooler months ahead. This challenge is in honor of the birds! Create a project of your choice using a minimum of 2 different Cricut Cuts. Your project must also include a bird of some kind and stitching (machine stitching, hand stitching, or both).

Here is my creation:




I used the Bloom cartridge and cut Branch 5 twice for the various leaf colors. I also cut Branch 5-s in brown for the actual branch. The Bird and title were cut using the Straight from the Nest cartridge. The bird was cut multiple times and then layered to give the owl some dimention. I decided that I'd just use some basic handstitching to tie the card together.

Enjoy!
