Ornaments Part 2 Cricut decorates the tree

Here Cricuts are determine who will do what job. After all they have to work together to make it happen. Notice they are standing a box from April Showers.

Looks like the plum one is helping with the pretty 3D bows.

They are all getting the decorations to help Pinky decorate the tree.

Becareful Pinky. Looks like Imagine is helping lift the ornaments for her.

OH NO!!!! Pink fell.. Don't worry no Cricuts were harmed in the making of these photos.

PINK assured us she is fine - after all she is a SURVIVOR!!!!!

Here they are all rejoicing the tree is decorated.

The 3D bow

The pretty 3D star

All Finished and ready for the table.

Ok so can I just say I love my new MINI - it is perfect for using w/ the craft room. I also loved the little extra bonus' that came with it. I received the download code for the 3D ornaments - let me tell you that is about 50% of why I bought the MINI because of the 3d Ornaments. The minute I unwrapped the MINI I started playing w/ these 3D ornaments. There was also a 3D bow digital cartridge I purcahsed w/ my credit. I can say I will probably never buy a bow again.

*** Disclosure****

I will say the 1st ornament I made had a little bit of a learning curve. WHY? Because I didn't realize there was directions for assembly available. I was ready to return my MINI because I couldn't figure out these ornaments. I got so frustrated with them I had to put them down and walk away. I did finally figure out how to make them. I actually then was looking at Curt Jensen's blog http://typecastcreative.blogspot.com/ and actually saw that he created the 3d Ornament and bows cartridge. That is where I got the information there was a hand book about to assemble them.

Also I would not recommend making them 2" or smaller just a little more work to do with them.

If you haven't visited Curt's Blog I suggest you do so. He creates a lot of the great stuff for PC. Oh did I mention that he is having a challenge on his blog? You can go here for the details: http://typecastcreative.blogspot.com/2011/11/decembers-cartridge-challenge.html

I will say that the little Cricut Collectibles came out of the cabinet to help put the ornaments on this tree I bought at Michaels for $1.00 yes $1.00 love it. This tree will be put on my dinning room table for all to enjoy.

Well have a great weekend and

Happy Scrappin'

DECEMBER MONTHLY CHALLENGE: Holiday Gift Wrapping Challenge!

The monthly Challenge for the Cricut blog was to create a beautiful gift wrapping.

Rules and Guidelines: Circle Blog Challenges are open to Cricut Circle Members only. Your project must be newly created for this challenge and include atleast 2 Cricut Image Cuts. You must submit a project to be entered into the Challenge Prize Drawing.

My daughter has 2 teachers for her preschool so I made them both a cute little present and the wrapping is these cute little boxes.

I used Sweet tooth boxes and cut the Chinese take out container at 10". I followed the directions to make the containers. I figured what went inside the box would fit perfectly in these.

The tags are from Arts Philosophy and cut at 2.5" --

The little bow is from the new digital cartridge 3D bows.

The stamp sentiment is from Emma at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ stamp set called All Around Christmas. The little circle and scallop is from Emma's stiched scallop/circle die set. Let me tell you I only own a Cuttlebug Kids and this works perfectly in it.
The paper is from Michaels - Recollections line - and is called Sugar Plums let me just tell you I had to buy 2 of them as they are so beautiful. Some have glitter and some are just plain but they all are so sweet.

I would suggest making a practice one 1st and don't glue the "Wrong" sides together. I really like how these turned out. The next post I'll show you want is in the BOX.

THanks for looking

Happy Scrappin'
