Drinker Bell

Here is a shirt and card I made for my daughter.  She loves wine.  (She's not a wino though!  lol!) The inside reads:  "I Tink you should have a Happy Birthday!"   It was an idea that came from Facebook:  Let's Learn Cricut Explore by Heidi Varden.  The designer paper and sentiment are from Kaiser Craft "Violet Crush".  I used a Recollections card base and envelope.  These are so easy, I use them a lot! 

My first Drinker Bell was a bust.  The first OOPS was I put in "glitter vinyl" NOT "glitter iron on vinyl"!  What a nightmare it was to weed.  Then, after taking the time to weed and put everything together, line it up, center it, wash it, blah, blah blah, I managed at the last moment to flip the bottle onto the body of Tink and iron it together!  Oi!  All of the work, not to mention having to buy another shirt, was toast!  PLUS I didn't have any more HTV!  I went mooching and found one piece I could get.  Phew, saved by the bell!  This was for her birthday and she needed to receive it today!

I am so loving the Design Space and Explore.  I can't wait until they make it usable off-line as well!

More Boxes

I made these boxes for my grand kids.  I don't like wrapping gifts, so when I saw the idea of doing "wrapping" with my Cricut, I had to do it.  These took way more time than conventional wrapping, but they were fun to do!

This one is my my granddaughter who loves princesses and loves it when I make her one, so  I used Once Upon a Princess, Joys of the Season and Gypsy Wanderings.

I made this one for my grandson.  He loves Sponge Bob!  When I bought the cartridge, my husband said he could not understand why I had bought it.  I responded, "Because it was on sale!!!"  Now, I have a grandson so it is perfect!  I also used Joys of the Season and Winter Frolic.  I added "snow" to the hat and pop dots to the presents for added dimension.  I think it turned out stinking cute!

ETA:  Sponge Bob was picked up as the "Project of the Day" on the Cricut Circle Blog!!!
