This month I choose 3 cartridges, Spongebob Squarepants, Stretch Your Imagination, and Philidelphia from Cricut Craft Room...
First, we started with Spongebob cartridge...
I wanted to show that you can use a cartridge and not have to use the main feature.. I wanted the under the sea items and not Spongebob, himself.. I chose <fishboy> shift shadow button at 4" and then I used the flip button and cut another. I inked the edges of this shadow one.. and the <fishboy> Icon button at 4".
Next, <patrick> shadow and the Icon shift at 2 1/2"... again I used the flip button for one of them..
<fishgirl> shadow shift at the 5" .... and then the Icon button <shift> and no shift... I used a little glittery paper for some bling...
and next, <Sandy> Shadow shift and 2 1/2"... and the Icon button <shift> and no shift at 2 1/2... added a little gold stickles.
and finally for the title "Wetlands" I used Lyrical letters the connected button.. The W at 2 1/4" and the rest of the words at 2"...
Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge
<summer> shift at 8 1/2"... using the shadow, layer, and regular button.. I only used only the rays of the sun and I then used Glossy Accents on the rays.. I colored in the eyes, nose and mouth, and also used the Glossy Accents..
<ice cream>was cut at 8 1/2... I used regular and the layers button.. I cut the base twice but in different colors then I cut them apart to make different flavors.
On the cone I drew in lines for the "waffle look" the I inked it a little with brown. For the cherry on top, i used Xmas Stickles.
I have two great pictures of my hubbie and I at the Akron Zoo having ice cream.. but they are on my phone and I haven't developed them yet...
Philadephia Cricut Craft Room
I am trying to get this craft room to work... so bear with me on these projects.. I am still working..
I purchased the "Philly" designs.. My hubbie and I just returned from Philly and the Jersey Shore...
I cut the Libery Bell at 4" all features.. then I outlined parts of the bell with Silver Stickles...
I didn't get this one perfect .. Still need to practice... I cut the shadow button at 2.1"
the letters "philadelphia" was at 1.25 (they should have been a little bigger) and the middle section was cut at 2".... I wanted the whole thing to be 2 inches... but somehow it didn't quite turn out that way... if you look really closely, you can see that the letters didn't fit just right...
But here is the final project.
