Paper Pumpkin Challenge

My achievement for 2018 was when I entered and won the Paper Pumpkin contest with this card. You were only allowed to use left overs from Paper Pumpkin past kits along with Stampin Up products. I decided to create a grocery store filled with party Watermelons to celebrate.

Ground Hog Birthday Card

Les' brother, Scott, has a birthday the day before Groundhog's day, so I wanted to create a Groundhog popping out of the ground. It took me awhile to find a tutorial on how to make a mechanism that would do this. After a bit of trial and error I made the mechanism. About 6 months later, Lawn Fawn came out with a die for this same effect.

Mine Craft Birthday Cube

What do you get a young man who loves Minecraft? My first ever, very dimensional birthday cube card. Thanks to Cricut Design Space, my idea came to life. I was able to download the ground images. I used my envelope punch board to create the box. I then went into Cricut Design Space and figured out the dimensions I would need to create all of the panels and the sign.I used some square dies and numbers for the front of the cube. The Creeper was cut from dies I had and modified. The chest was a free download that fit perfectly on the back of the box. The toughest thing about this was the Happy Birthday sign.
It took a lot of trial and error to get Cricut Design Space to create that sign. This is when you kiss your Cricut machine. 😍😍
