Wednesday Daily Project for Exploring Cricut

 Welcome to the Wednesday daily project for Exploring Cricut.  I will be filling in for the rest of this month so hope you are not tired of seeing my stuff for 3 days lol.  I decided to make these cute little treat boxes using the cartridges Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More 2 and Happy Hauntings.  These were fast and easy and would make great treats for school or a party.

I used the gable box on page 24 of Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More 2 and cut at 5.5 inches.  I just cut some scraps I had for the fronts of each.  I used Happy Hauntings for the ghost that are cut 2 and 2.5 inches.  I inked around the edges.  The witch hat is cut at 3 inches.  Just added some ribbon I had in my stash and some stickles.  Super easy!  Thanks for letting me share with you!

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!

Exploring Cricut Challenge

Today is a new challenge at Exploring Cricut and the challenge is to make a card, layout, or papercraft using a sled or sleigh from any cricut cartridge! This is really a fun challenge and the DT did a fabulous job with their creations! I decided to make the sleigh from Winter Woodlands and turn into a display piece. Below the pictures are my directions. Can't wait to see what you create for this challenge!

Direction:

Sled cut at 6 inches (2) one in reverse

I cut it out of heavy cardstock and also cut chipboard to make it more stable. I made a box just by cutting pieces of cardstock and folding them into a box shape for the inside. No special measurements, just to the size you need.

Packages were cut from Art Philosophy
