Recipes and Tips

Party Banner
Stamp set of your choice

1272 Cranberry Cardstock

Art Tip! This banner only uses one type of Cricut
shape, but the finished product is still stunning. Use stamp kissing to
randomly stamp across the pieces using the stamp set of your choice.
Score with the help of the Cricut-cut score lines on the shape and piece together to create little globes. Tie together with baker’s twine and voila!

Artiste
4½” 3D Object (p. 77)
4½” Shift+3D Object (cut 2, p. 77)
1″ Shift+Accent 2 (p. 51)

Art Tip! This project uses many Cricut®
shapes and all the pieces coordinate so nicely for an adorable finished
product. Use the Artiste assembly booklet to put the bag together and
then add the embellishments. The feathers are created with punched
circles that are stamped using the kissing technique; however, if you
don’t have the circle punch, you can easily make these using the Cricut
as well. The eyes were created using Shimmer designer brads, but you can
use any large brad or button to create the same look. Finish with the
“owl miss you sentiment” for a special touch.

  1. Thanks Claudia. Wish I could take credit. The CTMH Art Department actually created these projects. Aren't they fun? *Ü*
