New and fun challenge at Exploring Cricut this week!

We are having a great challenge starting today at Exploring Cricut. The challenge is called "It's a Box" You are to make a box, bag, purse, any shaped container you want from your cricut cartridges. With all the great cartridges we have with the party favors and treat boxes, I am sure you will find something you will want to do! I decided on making the Dog House treat box from the new Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 cartridge. The box just took on its own charm once I got started on it. I used Old West for wood planks for the roof to jazz it up, Animal Kingdom for the Dog, Everyday Paper Dolls for the grass, Paper Doll Dress Up for the bone and to decorate around the dog house, tulips from Spring Cottage. Below the picture I will put the measurements for each cut. I can't wait to see your creation!

Tuesday Daily Project at Exploring Cricut

Today I have the daily project at Exploring Cricut and did a card using the cartridge Spring Cottage. I love this cartridge because of the gazebo I used on yesterdays project and the window that I am using on this card. Below the picture are the directions and products I used on the card. Be sure to join in our challenge this week at Exploring Cricut!!
Spring Cottage-window and box of flowers cut at 5 inches
I added a square of white on the back and took a punch and made a valance to go in the window too. I ran the pink paper through my cuttlebug dotted swiss folder and stamped Happy Spring from a set of EK Success clear Spring stamps. I also added ribbon, flowers, and pearl from my stash. Paper and cardstock is from CTMH.
