Strut your Cuts week 7. Visit Scrappy Go Lucky as above and join in the fun!

I had to utilise the spare list this week and it is a very simple entry but a cut I have not used before from the cricut essentials cart...more flowers!

The little box is not cricut but is a 12 X 12 paper all folded with scorpal. The site that has this featured is Amazing Paper Grace and it is a truly wonderfull site and very talented lady. Grace designed this box. Well worth many visits.

I simply decorated the box top, and I found it hard today as I had lost my mojo!! We went for a ride on the motor bike to blow the cobwebs away...it worked and blew a lot more away as well I think...!
Here are some photos -

One flap slots in under the other to close the box neatly, great for small gifts, sweets etc.

Cricut flowers hints.....

Hi ..I am back...had a lovely relaxing time with my parents on the edge of lovely ( now full of water again..Lake Boga)

I have had so many comments regarding the flowers I made for the bird cage, I wanted to pass on how simple these are and also how easy to make different versions from exactly the same cut.

Here is a close up of an example....

These are identical cuts I just played with them in a different way.

The flower on the left - I pinched each petal in half and made a defined crease on each of three varying sizes, inked them and then glued them together.
The flower on the right I inked and then rolled each petal fairly firmly before gluing together.

To finish them I put a dew drop in the centre and scattered dimensional magic here and there followed by a light sprinkle of  stampin up dazzling diamonds.

I cut a full page on the cricut in assorted sizes of several shades. Its a great way to use spare paper and older paper.

Here are a couple more shots......enjoy and please email me if any assistance required....I love to share and help others
