Pink Slippers

     I was digging through my bag of finished products that I have for sale in my shops when I found a set of gift tags that I never listed.  These are so cute, they are made using two different Cricut cartridges, the Ornamental Iron and Wall Decor and I used Design Studio to weld the shoes inside the iron gate.  Welding allows me to cut out the design as one design and not have to worry about cutting two separate images and then somehow attaching them together to get them to look like one image.  If you want to view the other photos of these tags, you can see them in my Storenvy shop.

     The little bows were made using the fork method which I have a link to the "How To" video here and in an older post in my blog also.  They were super easy to make and so cute.

The tags I made for my sister's Birthday...

     Well.... my sister received her gift and she loves them! yay! here are the tags that I made for her:

     I used the Picturesque cartridge to make the butterfly, and cut 2 copies.  I painted both with my pink glitter concoction and then used foam adhesive strips in the center of the 1st layer of the butterfly and attached the 2nd layer.  I then pulled the wings up on both layers to give it that "fly away" look.  I also used the ornamental iron cartridge to add the gate frame to the border of the tag.

Happy Birthday Card using the Ornamental Iron Cartridge by Cricut

     I used the Ornamental Iron cartridge on the Window setting to design this card.  I cut two of the same and used some foam to raise one on top the other.  I also cut the same design on blackout and used that as the very bottom/base of the card.  I cut out a mat and "Happy Birthday" and added some amber bling to the mat.

Gift Tag using Picturesque Cartridge

     

     I need to start taking notes when I'm making different items, it's getting hard to remember which cartridge I used to make what item lol.
     Anyway, I used the Picturesque cartridge on the tag setting to first make the frame that I used for the overlay in the rose pattern paper then I glued that to the tag.  The tag itself was also cut from that cartridge and I glued a base of green patterned paper, then put the frame of the cut out tag on top of that.  I chose the butterfly because I liked how the wings went outside the tag a bit.  I then cut another butterfly frame without the tag and the butterfly shadow.  I painted both of those pieces with my glitter concoction that I made and used a bit of my glue runner to glue the 3 layers of the butterfly together.  I put the glue only on the middle body of the butterfly so that I could then fold the wings inward and give them the lift that they have here.  It looks like the butterfly is just about to fly right off the tag.  
     Then, for the bottom of the tag, I used another patterned paper and the Ornamental Iron cartridge and cut a gate the same width as my tag and attached it.  I did not use any glitter on the gate.
     The tag itself is pretty large, it's 4.5x3.5 and I used the Cricut sampler to cut the "To" and "From" lettering on the back of the tag.
