January Cricut Challange

Raelynn Eickhoff — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:35:53 +0000

It’s the first Cricut challenge of the new year! New to the challenge? Here’s how it works: Each month, we will pick an image from one of the Cricut brand cartridges and the challenge to you will be to make something crafty with it.

If you don’t have the cartridge that was picked, don’t worry there will always be some alternative choices.

January Cricut Challenge:

Create a papercraft project (card, layout, altered item, etc.) using the snowflake from the Going Places cartridge (found on page 110 of the handbook).

You will be using the “shift” function key.

Here is a card I made with this month’s image. I used the main image and the shadow blackout feature key.

If you don’t have the Going Places cartridge, or would rather use a different snowflake, there are a bunch of options. , Here are some I found, but I’m sure there are others that would work well.

Accent Essentials
A Child’s Year
Cake Basics
Christmas Cheer
Christmas Solutions
Cheerful Seasons (CM)
Damask Décor
Designer’s Calendar
Pooh & Friends
Don Juan
Doodlecharms
Graphically Speaking
Gypsy Wandering
Holiday Cakes
Joys of the Season
Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art
Potpourri Basket
Sesame Street Seasons
Speaking of Winter
Straight from the Nest
Stretch Your Imagination
Tie the Knot
Trim the Tree
Very Merry Tags
When it’s Cold Outside
Winter Lace
Winter Wonderland
Wrap it Up

Don’t have a Cricut but still want to play? You can… just create a project with a basic snowflake shape and post it here.

Happy crafting!
