Flaunt It Fridays - CH# 24 Pooh Font



Happy Friday Friends! It is time again for another fun challenge at Flaunt It Fridays. For challenge # 24, we are asked to use Cricut Pooh Font for the Tigger and Ducky cut on page 61.

My card is 5 x 6 1/2 inches and layered with a Recollections stripe paper. The green mat paper is from Colorbok. I used the Martha Stewart Embossed Zig Zag edge punch on the edges and then mounted it on a black mat.

I bought this cartridge when Michaels had a clearance sale on some of the older cartridges and I must admit that this is the first time to cut a Disney character. Tigger and Ducky are cut at 2 inches. The layers worked well and I am pleased with the results! Using black cardstock, the letters are cut at 1 inch to spell Hello and yellow cardstock is used for the shadow feature.

Now it is your turn to play with us. Remember if you do not have the Pooh Font cartridge, you can use a similar cut from another cartridge. For some great inspiration, visit the design team members' blogs. You can go to the blogs from the home page at Flaunt It Friday.

Pumpkins for Sale

I have been having so much fun in the pumpkin patch! Gathered a few more and made another fall card using Sherri's pretty sketch from Jitterbuggin' Sketch 21- the Pumpkin Patch.

The card is 5 X 6 1/2 and has several layers of paper according to the sketch. Paper is from the two-sided paper pack that I used on my Fall/Window card. I just love this paper!! I needed a little farmer boy to help sell these pumpkins so he is from Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge.

Everyday Paper Dolls - Leaves cut varying sizes 1 to 2 1/2 inches; Farmer cut 2 3/4 inches

FALL / Recessed window

I enjoy the results of a recessed window card and decided to try it again with a Fall theme. It takes me a long time to complete one of these cards, but I think the results are worth it!

A tutorial and video can be found at SplitCoastStampers for the recessed window card. I followed the cutting directions given in the video. The card was cut 5 1/4 X 10 3/4, scored at 5 1/4 and again at 5 1/2. The little created spine will help the card lay flat.

After a little blogging, I decided to incorporate several Cricut cuts and enter the card in several challenges. First I needed a barn. The challenge is to use the barn from the Cricut Old West cartridge, but I do not have that cartridge. I located this cute barn on Everyday Paper Dolls and cut it out to go inside the created window. Next I needed pumpkins and leaves for a couple more challenges. It was a lot of chirping going on as the Cricut Expression cut pumpkins and leaves of different sizes and papers. Why not add a tree and maybe throw in a wheelbarrow? The card began to take shape!!

Trying to think of a good title or sentiment, I glanced through a recently purchased Cricut Pooh Font Set cartridge. I found this on clearance for $15.00. Love those good buys!! One of the creative features on this cartridge is Wood and I thought this font would look good with my old barn/country theme.

Cricut Cartridges:

Everyday Paper Dolls - Barn cut 2 3/4 inches; Leaves cut in varying sizes 1 inch to 2 1/4 inches; Wheelbarrow cut 3 inches

Stretch Your Imagination - Pumpkins cut in varying sizes 3/4 inch to 2 inches: Tree cut 4 1/2 inches
