Cricut Dress up - Beach Style

So I must admit I'm loving dressing up my little Cricut Vinyl's. They already have a cute little personality but dressing them up really adds so much more. I couldn't bring myself to undress the other Criuts.  So I just selected a few little guys/gals (HAVE we figured out yet is Cricut a Boy or a Girl)? I am making mine both little gals and guys. :).

I wanted to make a cruise/beach theme so I thought this would be fun. I used only 1 cartridge - Pack your bags.

I will give you a small little tip... If you are going to cut really tiny detailed items use vinyl - it's perfect. - The drink, bathing suits, and snorkel gear all cut from vinyl.

I made Red -- a cute little bathing suit I actually took the bikini from Pack your bags and trimmed it down. (I didn't photo her but she actually has the tie in the back). I added a few little gems to her but and added a yummy summer drink.
The bikini was cut at 1" and the drink at 1 1/2" w/ the layers.

Green - has the full set of snorkel gear on complete w/ the fins, and flaoties.
I used my Gypsy to figure out what size snorkel -- which actually cut at 6" because it is a layer to the scuba diver on Pack your bags.

Boat cut at  7" w/ layers
Sand Castle cut at 3" w/ layers - some ink

I then cut some coral, fishes and star fish - random sizes from different colors.

I really had fun with the fair so I thought this would be equally as fun. I really hope you enjoy it. I know it makes me laugh. She must of had too much of that yummy drink as she fell over.  (or a little 3 year old kept messing with her)... :).

Hope you enjoy and

Happy Scrappin'

Dress up - Cricut Fair... Photo heavy!!!

 
 
 
 
 
 

So this has to be one of my favorite Cricut Circle magazine challenge thus far. While I love a good challenge this was no different. This challenge was to "dress up " and/or make a scene for  your little cricut vinyl guy/gals. Growing up I loved going to the local county fair. I was even lucky enough to join 4H for a season and won for my snicker doodle cookies.  

I thought it would be so fun creating this and once I started I couldn't stop. I probably put in over 20+ hours (shhhh don't tell my hubby). I had tons of ideas and even had to start writing everything down.  To me a fair isn't complete without: Animals, Exhibits, Food, and the "Midway".

I will say dressing up a 3" cricut vinyl w/ a 1 x1 body was a CHALLENGE. I had to give up on making some of the paper outfits and went to vinyl to make it easier. 

I won't bore you w/ all the details of each cut but I will say the cuts range from 1/4" to over 6" (w/ the barns, building, food trailer, Ferris wheel, tea cup ride, and fun house being 5 - 6").

I made a tractor complete with a moving "sled" to do a Cricut tractor pull.

I think the little farm animals from County Fair are so adorable. I loved making them. They all won 1st place for their animal class and some even took home a Best in show ribbon.

I remember at the county fair having a Ferris wheel, a tea cup style ride, a cool fun house, and the best bumper cars. These cars actually move on this display.

My cricut dress up includes:
A Cowboy (blue) - w/ chaps, and a cow boy hat, a hat ornament, and a Cricut buckle... (teehee)
A Cowgirl (red) with a  flowing skirt, and cowgirl hat
A Judge (White)   - A top hat, a ribbon, glasses, mustache, and tie  *** He's my favorite****
Fair goers - Green - eating a hot dog, and cotton candy
Fair goer - Purple - drinking a lemon aide shake up and eating a corn dog.
And lets not forget the Fair Queen - Pink - w/ a sash and eating pop corn.

I used some of the cuttle bug  and bug heads cuts from Cricut Everyday.

I used several different cartridges.

Hope you enjoy and
Happy Scrappin'
