Hello everyone! As I was putting the finishing touches on this project last night, my craft studio shook and rattled for a split second, rolling my chair I was in across the room. Yes, it was a 4.1 about 40 miles off the coast, yet I felt it. Uggg… I dislike earthquakes terribly.
Now on to the project. A friend wanted me to make something like these that she found on Pinterest. I used Microsoft Publisher and printed these out on cardstock and then using the “Center” function on my Cricut Expressions, I cut these babies out.
I used party streamers and sewed the edges (like this tutorial) and made rosettes. I had previously baked a whole set of ribbon making curly ribbon and used those as the finishing touches.
I am thinking I may enter this into the Die Cuttin’ Diva’s challenge this week – I feel they are different and original to fit their “Anything Goes Challenge“.
Now off to deliver them!
Thanks for sharing a bit of crafty time with a bit of rock, rattle and roll to it” pie with me.
Recipe:
Cricut Cart: Mini Monograms set at 3 inches for the circle and 1.5 inches for the scallop circle for the back
Party streamers (trimmed the middle one to add the “layer” effect.)
Paper: Recollections Bright Color Stack
Cuttlebug – Swiss Dots
Ink for edging around the circle – Close to My Heart: Cotton Candy
Wilton Cake Pop Sticks
Curly Ribbon (baked at 200 for 20 minutes wrapped around 1/4 inch wooden rods and attached at ends with cloths pins.)
Lovely! I keep forgetting about that center point function on the Cricut! Thanks for the reminder! I love your rosettes and your curly ribbon! These are adorable!
I know, I love the center point function now that I have figured it out. It really opens up all the possibilites in the world! Thank for stopping by!
these are so sweet! i love the bright happy colors
and, congrats on being published!
So cute!! This definitely fits anything goes!! Very creative!! Thanks for sharing with us at DCD this week!
Hi friend!! I’ve been neglecting your blog as I have been so busy with my DT work, but I just came over to catch up on your posts…. I love those little rossette guys! I’m so impressed cuz I’ve never made rossettes or used the center point function, lol. I’m glad the earthquake wasn’t bigger, but I know what you mean about not liking them! We experienced the “big one” (refraining from obvious inappropriate pun here) back in 1990 & that was brutal. The freeways were collapsing, the Bay Bridge cracked in half, total chaos. Ugh. Anyway, I’ll email you so we can chat more later….
Hugs,

These are fantastic! I love the rosettes, and the curly ribbon at the bottom is perfect! However—please tell me your power strip was UNPLUGGED when you took this photo!?!?!?!? Glad the earthquake was just a small one….scary…..
What a sweet thing to do for her teachers. More parents should do things for the hard working teachers . Cute!!
