A Day with the Penquins

Welcome to another project at Cricut FANatics. Diane here from the blog http://happyscrapperdiane.blogspot.com with a quick and simple project. A couple weeks ago, we went to the Aquarium and my 3 year old granddaughter loves penquins so her parents arranged for her to do the meet the penquins. She got to go into a special room and learn all about them and get to touch and see them other than behind glass. She was so excited and had the best time ever! I thought in addition to adding this to her scrapbook, I would make her a little frame to put in her room. I used the cartridges Base Camp and Animal Kingdom.  It was fun to create this easy project for her.

Halloween Charger Plate

Hi There,

Yvonne here from Ink-spirations. Great to be back again and this time I want to share my Halloween Charger Plate. I love making these. They are quick, easy and you can make them for every occasion. After the season has passed storage is easy.

I used several cartridges on this project.

Bats - Happy Hauntings cut at 1"

Happy Halloween - Celebrate With Flourish cut at 2"

Flourishes - Gypsy Font (monogram feature) 1", 1.4" & 1.6"

Border Skulls - Wall Decor & More (border feature) 1.5"

Fence - Wall Decor & More (border feature) 2"

Tree - Happy Hauntings 4.5"

Small Skull beside tree - Indie Art  1"

Bird on Fence -  Animal Kingdom - 1"

All images were sized and cut using CCR. Welded two flourishes together on right side of plate.

The fence had a rooster sitting on it and I cut that off and used a more suitable bird from Animal Kingdom.

There are different ways to work with vinyl. I set my machine to cut the image out through both the vinyl and the backing. I do not use a transfer tape. When I'm lining up to layer my vinyl I peel just a small portion of the backing away and make sure I have the image exactly where I want it and then adhere the vinyl layers together. I then proceed to peel back a little more of the backing and adhere that down. By doing it this way I'm not trying to work with a piece of vinyl that is trying to stick to everything it comes in contact with.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Halloween

Yvonne
