I made a guy Get Well card using kraft cardstock as the base. When I saw this cut from Paper Pups, I thought it would work well since I know so many dog lovers. It has been forever since I have used that cartridge. The frame is from Art Philosophy (Rectangle #1 and layer), then I embossed it.

DECEMBER CRICUT CRAFT ROOM CONTEST!

We want to encourage you to play with the Cricut Craft Room™design tool, so this month we are using it as part of our challenge! We want you to create a project of your choice with the Cricut Craft Room™design tool. If you win this challenge, we would like you to send us your file so we can add it next month’s magazine files for everyone to share!




Thanks to this challenge, I finally began learning Cricut Craft Room. This simple design took me forever, but I learned the basics: weld, group, rotate, and layer. Joy's videos and the Cricut tutorials really helped me, thank you! I made treat holders for Valentine's Day and added a bag of M&M's and for my grandsons a sucker. Cartridges: George, Art Philosophy and Sweethearts.

NOVEMBER MONTHLY CHALLENGE: Signs of Fall with Texture Challenge!

The Challenge: Create a project of any kind using your “sign/sybmol” of fall (remember, this can be any fall item that brings that fall feeling to you). You also must include some way of adding texture to your project. Whether you use a cuttlebug, distress the edges, ink, stickles, etc. Your project must include at least 2 different Cricut cuts.



I made a Thanksgiving Center piece for the table. The lantern is from Tie the Knot and hid the hearts with the Gypsy. I really like this cart for lanterns because of the wavy lines. It was a little too high, so I did some tweaking and used a punch at the top. Art Philolosy was used for the leaves, acorns, left over cuts from the decorative layer circle spread on the plate, and the pumpkin vine from Happy Hauntings. For texture, I used a stamp for a random pattern on the pumpkins and a Cuttlebug folder on the acorn and inked the textured paper.
