Playing with my Cricut Maker

I now have had my Cricut for 2 weeks.



With the help of Jennifer Maker's Craftalong Challenge , I have been making a new project every day, learning different techniques and finding out what the machine can do.

Day 12 and 13 involve using vinyl - I only have one small roll of black vinyl and a small roll of release tape in my stash - so I have sort of combined the days.

I used Ike's Witch Silhouette and the star within the Design Space to cut a witch and 5 stars in black vinyl.

I then looked at the canvasses I had to hand and added the images to them.
These had been coloured with acrylics.

  
As the vinyl is glossy, it was pretty difficult to photograph.



I decided this background was too busy - so this was my next version.
As we have just moved to Australia, the stars are supposed to suggest the Southern Cross.




I happened to look at Ike's Show us Your Pussycats Challenge
I discovered that Ike had a freebie silhouette lion on offer - part of the animal alpha Silhouettes.

Thank you for this,IKE!!

I decided to give this the Cricut treatment - but with black card.


I made this into a card - white card blank, layer of blue card, circle of yellow card (the sun), the lion and a die cut of flowers.


My daughter and I had been playing with alcohol inks on yupo...


I used one of these backgrounds to die cut the floral frieze.


I will link this card to Ike's Show us your Pussycats Challenge #52



Finally - something in everyone's thoughts...



Happy Crafting!
