Here is a close up of the title letters.

I used the Everday Paper Dolls for the leprechauns. All their pieces came from that cartridge. I did however use my Gypsy to “hide contour” some of the different “cuts on some of the images.

I used the Nursery Rhymes cartridge for the title letters and for the scalloped block.

Now be sure to head over to CCR’s Blog and join our challenge.

Frame Cutting Tutorial-Nate's ABC Cartridge







Good morning Crafters,


Today’s post is for the Creative Cutter Room Quick Tip Tuesday. I created this layout using Nate’s ABC Cartridge.

cricut playtime fun-500c
My tip is: I used only one sheet of “Yellow” cardstock to complete this layout. I did this by “cutting out” the inside of the yellow to create a “frame”.
This is a great option when you have only 1 piece of cardstock of a particular color to work with.


STEP 1
Using your cutter, line your paper up to the 11” inch mark.

STEP 2
Be sure to start your cut or blade at 1”
one inch pic-500




STEP 3
Trim your paper but only to the 11” mark. Do NOT cut all the way “through”.
11 inch cut-500


Once you have done this, turn your paper a quarter turn and repeat three more times. Once this is completed, your “center” piece will come out. You will have a 12 x 12 frame with a 1” thickness. Conversely, you will have a 10 x 10’ piece of yellow left over.

Here is a shot of what the completed layout looks like in the back. Again, this is a great alternative when you only have one piece of a particular color cardstock and you need to stretch it out. Please note: this doesn’t work out quite as well if you are using “thinner” grade paper. The cardstock I used in this project was Bazzill.
