Would You Ever Guess Wednesday

Hello Crafty Blends

Today is the Fabulous

at My Cricut Craft Room.  

For today's WYEGW project and post
we, the DT Members, were challenged
with using Create a Critter 1 or 2
but not being able to use an animal cut.

I used a few of the Halloween images from pages 53, 54, 55, & 56
on Create a Critter 2 cartridge along with some
other supplies in my stash.
AND . . . .
this is my first project EVER
using fun Action Wobbles!!!

I started with my kraft accordion file card and began making
cuts to fit on each of the 4 panels.

The papers I used for all of my cuts are from the
BoBunny - Apple Cider stack
DCWV - Rockstar stack
and
Simple Stories - Harvest Lane

I also covered each panel with a cream colored card stock,
then inked the edges with Color Box - Stucco
and TH Distress ink in Vintage Photo.

For the first panel, I used the cute pumpkin on page 54, cut at 3", and placed him
on an action wobble.
I also used a white gel pen, a border strip of black cats,
and a rub on sentiment from my stash.

For my second panel, I used the spider and web from page 53, cut at 2",
a border strip of cute spiders that matched, 

purple glitter glue, 

orange/melon colored pearls for the eyes, 

and a rub on sentiment.

For my third panel, I used the cauldron on page 56, cut at 3", a cute
3D witch sticker, a border strip of crossbones, and a rub on sentiment .

For my fourth and final panel, I used the treat bag
and candy from page 55, cut at 2 1/2",
and placed the bag on an action wobble.
I also used some fun 3-D candy stickers, 

Liquid Pears for the face on the bag, and a border strip of candy corn.
The I ♥ CANDY sentiment
is also a 3-D sticker.

I tied a small piece of ribbon to the top of each tag panel in
the same black and orange diamond pattern ribbon
that I purchased from a friend in the Scrapbook Deals on FB.
Thanks Haidee!

WYEGW - Would You Ever Guess Wednesday

Hello Crafty Blends

Today is the Fabulous

This is my first WYEGW project and post 

since joining the Design Team
at My Cricut Craft Room.  

I really enjoyed the challenge of
thinking about what to do with your  Cricut Cartridges
that you may not have ever tried before. 

The idea behind WYEGW, is to use any features
WITHOUT using the Main Feature Cut key!
Interesting, HUH?

I grabbed my Create-A-Critter
cartridge because I knew it had a lot of
fun accessories
and
started looking through the handbook.

I found the fun Palm Tree
under the Dino Main Cut.
I cut the tree at 4".

I used Brown CS by Recollections for the first layer and
I used a neon green paper from my BG lauderdale 6x6 stack
for the palm leaves

I then came across the sentiment, just chillin',
under the Penguin Main Cut.
I cut the sentiment at 2"

 I used a fun tropical flower paper  for the first layer and
the same neon green (from the tree), from my BG lauderdale 6x6 stack
for the top layer.

I also grabbed some fun adhesive backed
textured border strips (taupe in color) and tore them
so it appeared as sand.
I didn't much care for the white inner layer
so I spritzed it with some brown Shimmerz
to darken the torn edge.


I then spritzed my leaves and the chillin' with some
of my handmade green glimmer mist.

After letting it dry, I then started to piece all my elements together.

I felt the tree needed a little more 'pizazz'

so I grabbed my embossing folders.

I used my TH Sizzix Burlap on the Tree Trunk

and I used the Darice Bark/Tree on the Palm Leaves.

I inked up the edges of my green papers using my
Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalk Ink (green)
and a finger dauber.

I wanted the sentiment to stand out and not match

the palm leaves exactly, so I added more

pigments to my glimmer mist

and sprayed one more time.

 

Now, it needed one...more...element . . .TWINE!

I grabbed up all my twine and chose to

use some Cappucino  Twinery Twine

to roll and make coconuts for my Palm Tree.

Other supplies:

Aqua Recollections CS (base)

BG lauderdale (blue dots background dp)

Tim Holtz Distress Tool
Zig Pens
Scissors
Glu Glider Pro Adhesive Gun
3D Foam Adhesive (roll)
Zots (small)

I needed to distress the edges of my
backdrop dp . . so I grabbed my TH distress tool.

 

When it comes to foam adhesive,
can you ever really have too much...LOL
