Playing Around Cricut Style!

Here are a few items I made using the Artiste Cricut cartridge just playing around and making random things.  

This idea came from a popcorn treat cup I saw in the catalog, when I made it I realized it doesn't have a bottom to it.  My husband actually saw a shape on the cartridge that would fit in the bottom and the design around the edge could be folded to glue to the inside of the cup. Pretty clever I must say!

I thought this was very cute and had to try it.  This is a 4 piece cut out all layered on top of each other, pretty neat!

I saw this on the CTMH consultant website and couldn't pass it up.  I made it a little differently but I still think it's adorable.

Cricut Workshop!

Here is one of the projects we made during my Cricut Workshop using the May Stamp of the Month "Pinwheel".  I love the fun pinwheels on this stamp set and the great ideas they have for layering them.  I used the Claire paper packet for the front, layered in Lagoon cardstock, then Pear cardstock then Cocoa cardstock and White Daisy cardstock for the final layer of this project.  The sentiment is stamped in Cocoa ink and the embellishments are the Green & Blue Epoxy Bubbles.  This was a very fun card to make!

Such a Treat!
