Cricuting in Oz week 4 challenge Entry

http://blog.scrappy-go-lucky.com.au/

Here is my project for this week. I only have damask decor but loved using it. I googled lots of sites for inspiration and found lots of off the page ideas that I loved.
I decided on using the teapot and making a box perhaps to put various types of teabags in..... for my sister Jenny who I will be visiting soon in Townsville.....I hope!! Alas I will also be seeing my other sisters during my four weeks leave...Dette in Ocean Grove and Carol in Hilston...I am going to be busy....I want one for me too!!
Anyway here are some pictures and I will put together instructions in the next post.
Enjoy!

Damask Decor...ever so gorgeous cart!

Hi Everyone,
welcome to more new members, thanks for visiting......its such a wonderful hobby and so good to share!!
I am working on Cricuting in Oz Week 4 challenge. The only cart I have for this one is Damask Decor...now I spend hours looking through the booklet and óoh and ahh' at the gorgeous designs but have hardly used it...I have been doing the same for the past hour!!
So finally I am trialing my first cut....more little cards if all goes well.....lets see...pictures as soon as I get one finished!!

The only cart I had was wall decor and more but there is such a large choice....funny I finished making a very simple project, but again really enjoyed it......I cut the coffee cups at 3"

I modified a gift bag which I sourced a long time ago from Maria Bell at www.stampininspirations.blogspot.com
I altered it to suit my needs and filled it with 6 matching giftcards. These are for a friend who does beautifull baking and will find them usefull.
I was almost tempted to keep adding to the cards but do like them simple and have stamped inside with a lovely bird on a branch.

Happy to share instructions and answer questions if needed

Welcome and thank you!

I would like to thank all my followers for visiting my site and signing up!
It is so nice to share ideas, meet new people and simply enjoy our common interest!!

I am so excited to reach over 4000 visits to my blog....I know that is not a massive amount but to me it is worth celebrating.

I am going to put up some blog candy as soon as I get close to 5000....I am about to have holidays and will be sorting through that very messy craftroom that I posted on cricuting in oz facebook group a while ago.....and will put together some nice goodies!!!

So keep popping back!!

Today I am preparing my project for Week 3 of the Strutting Your Stuff challenge over at Scrappygolucky.com.au and the only cart I have to play with is Wall Decor and More...having fun so far.....was about to cut a little bag from another cart and then realised I had to do it "by hand"as I could not utilise another cart!!!

Here is the sneak peak...now what is she up to this time???????????????

Photo cube instructions...enjoy!!

Here is the link to a video on instructions for the photo cube cd cover box. The sound is not good but the instructions excellent. However I did not do the base instead I used some chipboard painted and cut to size. I glude the cube box onto this. It is more durable. When I tried the other way I just got frustrated and felt it was not sturdy.

I am going to make some more to have ready for simple gifts etc and perhaps some prizes to dontae for our next retreat.

The measurements are 4 pieces of cardstock 5 3/4 X 4 5/8
I actually cut 8 of these as I lined mine as well...it gives a better look on the inside if desired. These stayed plain but the other 4 I scored and folded one end a 1/4 inch, inked the edges and then decorated as desired.

There is space for some dimension but not too much, however I did place some scrap thick card in between the keep the card close to the plastic as other wise it can 'bow' back and not look as neat....hard to explain but will become clear when actually putting it together.
I was hesitant and concerned the clear tape might show up but it doesn't and is needed to keep it together.

Have fun and feel free to email me photos and I iwll put on my blog if you wish!!

Happy Monday!!
