Cute free standing penguin card - cut on the Cricut

Another One of the batch of penguin cards I mentioned!

Really pleased with this one, it is the first time i have made a large card using some jumbo shapes cut on my Cricut!!!

I cut out all of the shapes you normally would but with an extra base layer to use aa the back of the card

I scored the top of the back layer, this is how the card would open and where it would join together.

Phew it stands up!!! just got to add all of the layers now...

He is quite cute, simple looking but cute!

Next time i make one of these i will make sure i have an envelope that fits before i cut it all out!! I had to "tweak" an envelope to fit!!

I think he could be adapted for a cute christmas card too...

Sorting out my scrap heap - Fancy a challenge???

While i have been poorly i have not felt up to crafting, my mojo has gone and i only hope it appears back in time for my half-term-craft-a-thon. So to keep me semi busy i sorted out my scraps pile, something that should have take half hour took forever with going back to bed, hot drinks and tablet breaks!

I trimmed all the odd bits off of the scraps and threw away anything smaller than an inch, i then popped what was left into a basket so its close to hand

Fancy a little challenge? There are no prizes but i am going to set myself a challenge of making some projects just from my scraps box!!!

I will blog what i produce!!
