In the meantime, I wanted to share with you another project I created for the Create a Critter 2 sneak peek contest Cricut was running last week. There were a lot of awesome projects entered into the contest and they're supposed to announce the winner/s on Monday and I can't wait to see who's picked.
This project is a Fall home decor project and because of the mat size with this frame I created my picture just like I would for a card. The opening measures 5 x 7 so I of course started with a background piece of cardstock on which to build my picture.
Using a paper trimmer, I cut two rectangles - brown 4 x 3 1/2" and red 3 3/4 x 3 1/4" and then two squares brown 3 1/2" and green 3 1/4". The red and green squares I embossed using the swiss dots folder and inked all edges.
From Accent Essentials I cut what started as a scalloped circle but ended up as a scalloped rectangle. I made two different sized cuts so that one would mat the other while allowing enough room for my squirrel to be framed.
From Create a Critter 2 I cut the pilgrim squirrel at 2" and three acorns at 1". While putting the picture together I decided to see if I had wiggle eyes that would 'fit' the squirrel's face while adding to the cute factor, and I think these were successful.
Other than that it was placing the picture in the mat, putting on the back and standing my new picture up on the table for display.
