Santa Tags. Today I have a super cute Christmas tag to share with you. They are Santa heads and the beard opens up for you to write your little message! How cute are these?! This is pretty much a total CASE from ones I found on Pinterest. The link led me to an Etsy page and the creator was Deanna Fioresi. The small changes I made to hers are adding the Baker's Twine for it to be a hanging tag, a larger scallop for the beard and the sparkles on the hat (that are really hard to see in the pictures).
To start off, I punched the following: 1 - 2" scallop circle (using a non SU! Punch) in Whisper White, 1 - 1-3/4" circle in Blush Blossom, 1 - 3/4" circle in Whisper White. Next, I assembled the pieces together. Since I wanted these to be hanging tags, I added some Baker's Twine and the tag was complete! Until next time, stay crafty! Strawberry Fields Forever. My mom likes strawberries. {thanks to me, I think...} Over thirty years ago I made some little stuffed strawberry Christmas tree ornaments for my mom. After Christmas, she tied them in a bunch and hung them in her kitchen, thus beginning the strawberry collection in her kitchen that rivals my own collection of turtles.
When I saw this Doodlebug paper at the scrapbook store a couple of weeks ago, I just had to have it. Along side of it in the store was a cute little embellishment that I initially picked up, then put back on its hook thinking, "Hmph...I could make that. " I used a heart-shaped punch for the berry, and then I used my 1/2" corner rounder to soften the point at the bottom. I used these little berries as embellishments on cards - one for my mom and one for Grandma. So, I wonder, do you use punches very often for crafting? Ahhhhh!!! How did I not know this about my Cricut!!! Okay, so I have owned a Cricut for well over 6 years. Maybe even 7 years, the point is that I should really know everything about how to use one.
I am the type of person who even reads the instruction manual cover to cover! Well, I of course have been using the heck out of my Cricut lately as Christmas is right around the corner and there are many crafts to be made. I was getting seriously frustrated with a piece of vinyl not cutting right. This is not the first time that has happened.
Who can relate to ruining an awesome piece of beautiful paper, or a piece of vinyl because the blade just didn’t cut correctly? ME TOO! So this evening I was fed up and ran to Google for some help. The first thing I found is a cute little chart that tells you what to set your blade depth, pressure, and speed at for cutting different types of paper and vinyl. Go HERE to find the chart. The second awesome tip I found was how to make your used Cricut mat sticky again. Go HERE to read all about how to do this. Box Template. Segunda parte - Practicando con... ¿Cómo hacer un lazo doble?

It takes a LONG time to put together as you are constantly flipping over each tray to insert a bolt then, while holding it in place along with positioning the dividers and such, go to the bottom and pick up a washer, put that on the bolt, then back to the parts and pick up a nut, thread and hand tighten that on the bolt you are holding with the other hand.
Then after all that, you need to get a screwdriver positioned on the top then flip back over and tighten with a wrench or ratchet! Yes, that description of the process is long but not as long as the process itself! I went back with a power ratchet and tried to do the final tightening after first hand tightening it all. There are so many bolts even on the assembled trays that you have to be methodical about how you go around to do final tightening or you'll miss some. A few bolts or screws seemed like they stripped out pretty easily in this final process. If there were not so many bolts, I'd suggest you use thread lock on them.
