I finally purchased my very own Cricut cutting machine and wow does it make some cool cuts! It is still so new to me but I get so excited hearing the motor buzz and seeing how fast it makes intricate cut out shapes appear like magic on paper and card stock. I had been thinking about making big letters to decorate my little girl's room for awhile. At first I thought I would try to cut them really big in the 12 x 24 size, but eventually I settled on making them "fit to Page size" on a 12" x 12" page. I picked up the card stock locally at
Panduro Hobby , carved some time to work on the project...
And voila, here is the finished product!
For these letters I used the
Ole Mexican/South American/Spanish themed cartridge, and I very happy with the finished result!
I still have to attach this to the wall in my little one's room but that is a bigger project that will involve more cut out shapes to complete the decor...I'll show that off once it is finished.
Ooh, I've heard about the Cricut machine. I don't dare buy one. (It would probably just collect dust anyway...) Cute decoration, can't wait to see pictures of the finished product on her wall.
