Jingle All The Way Shadow Box

 

I know...I know...it's not the season to be making a Christmas craft but I happened to run into these pretty bells and thought about what I could make with them.  I decided to use a shadow box to display them with a Cricut design.  It's really hard to take a picture of holographic material.

Happy Birthday Humor card

 

I do want to stress that even though I'm working at home, I do wear pants at all times despite what this card says.  It's one of those cards that you think might be boring until you read the inside.  I did have the perfect friend to send it to.

Don't Mist Me Off Mister

 

I bought a Cricut Explore Air 2 with my first stimulus check.  I did the test and all was well.  I planned on making some Christmas gifts using it.  That didn't happen.  I had to wait until I had a dear friends birthday approaching fast before I decided what to create.  She's recently into succulent plants so I had to research and see if there was a gift that would go well for them.  Misters is what came up.  Oh there's so many with different shapes that unfortunately I had to rule out since this was my first solo project.  I found this mister on Amazon.  I tested it out, and it works awesome.  I had already created an expression to go with her (and my) sense of humor.  I think I picked the hardest vinyl material to work with but with the weeding tool and a few curse words, I got it to work.
