It's time for another Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. This weeks challenge is to make a project from a "neglected cartridge". Any cartridge you haven't used in 6+ months. Well, this was truly a challenge for me because I don't have a cart that I have not used in 6+ months. I use and LOVE all my carts. I currently only have 13 cartridges, 7 of which I have received since Christmas. :) But I chose to use the cartridge I have used the least over the past 6+ months which is George & Basic Shapes.
Marianne from Paper or Fabric Crafter shared this Easel Card and Gift Box on her blog not that long ago and I knew I wanted to give it a try. (She shared the link for the tutorial how to make this here.) Their projects measured roughly 6"x6" and I wracked my brain for 3 days figuring out how/if I could make it 4"x4" and I did. Here's how it turned out:
Isn't it pretty? I love how it turned out. Thank you Marianne for the inspiration.
Project details/ingredients:
Box Base: Coredinations card stock & DCWV patterned paper
Cuts: Heart & Tag from George & Basic Shapes
Card Base: Off white card from a card/envelope set from Big Lots
Stamp/Sentiment: From the new stamp line from 40:31 Creations (check them out).
Now, it's your turn. What cartridge have you neglected? What cartridge has been sitting in the clamshell since you bought it? (Send them to me :) Crack them carts out and hop on over to FCCB and submit your projects. I cannot wait to see what you've been neglecting.
Keep Kreating,
Erin
