Since my Cricut has been gathering dust for a while, I decided to fire it up. However, I then discovered that I appear to have lost the booklet that explains how to use it, so I had to have a few practice runs.
OK, maybe more than just a few practice runs!
Anyway, after getting through quite a bit of scrap card, eventually I figured out how to select the right shape, get the right size and positioning on the cutting mat. In the end it didn't work out too bad, so I got busy and made 4 tags, each using a different Fizzy Moon teddy image.
The coloured outer layers were hand cut a few millimetres larger than the machine cut image panels because I wanted to matt and layer the image panels with a matching coloured backing card. Don't look too closely as some are a bit wonky!
I've made 2 in traditional Christmas colours, and 2 in my fail-safe colours of pink and blue. :0)
