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

Tuesday's Daily Project at Exploring Cricut

I have the project today over at Exploring Cricut and I made a couple of gift boxes and the bows for them. I used the new digital cartridge 3D Bows and Art Philosophy Close to my Heart cartridge. I created the bow in the Cricut Craft Room. I will be glad when my digital images I purchase go to the Gypsy because I like using it better, but am giving the Craft Room a chance!
These boxes are perfect for small gifts. Below is the directions and measurements I used. I will say the bow on the smaller package needs to be cut bigger because it was a little harder to do, but you are seeing my first two bows using the digital images. Be sure to join our challenge this week too!

This is the smaller of the two boxes and I cut it at 9 inches from page 22 using the font layer shift key of Art Philosophy . The bow was done in CCR measurements 4 x 4.11 inches. in

3D Bows digital images. I used some paper from Fancy Pants and cardstock for package and bow.

This box is larger and will hold a scarf or some candy. Nice size really. It is cut at fit to page which was 10.5 inches. I used the Art Philosophy cartridge page 28 font layer shift key. The bow was done in CCR and was cut width 10 inches height 5 inches. with the 3D Bows digital cartridge. This one was much easier to do.
