Anything Goes Unplugged

Happy Tuesday and day before Halloween for those of you that celebrate.  This is a 5th Tuesday of the month and that means the challenge for Die Cuttin' Divas is Anything Goes. I made a large wall display in the hallway at my school for this challenge.
This year I will be directing a play called Unplugged by Laurie Bryant. This show is about getting taking a break from our reliance on technology - especially social media.  I love the cover of the script, but wanted to change it up from headphones and show something that we need to unplug from.
I found a great graphic with the "D" as a plug and I recreated it using basic shapes attached to my very large (7 inch) letters.  I also made a tablet style device to attach to a cord. The cored had to be cut into 5 sections in order to make it.
I was so happy with how it turned out and it is working well - many students have stopped to look at it or come see me with question about the meeting the wall is advertising. I am sure to have many other play related projects in the next coming months.

Thanks for visiting today and I hope you can join us for the Anything Goes Challenge.

Supplies:
- Cricut Font - letters
- Svg ipad
- printed out image of wifi symbol

Pizza My Heart

Whose hungry?  I sometimes feel like I am always hungry or thinking about food so that makes this week's challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas perfect for me! This week our theme is FOOD!!
I search for food items in Cricut Design space and this slice made me think of a great card  to make. It was super fun putting the happy slice together and changing some of the pieces out to have harts on the pizza and in the larger word cut.
A little print and cut action to add in the rest of the sentiment for the card and it all went together fast.
I hope you get a snack (I know I need one) and get some time to join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week and our food challenge.

Supplies:
- Simply Charmed Cricut Collection - pizza & slice of pizza
- Create A Critter Cricut Collection - hearts
- All Things Pink font
- DCWV Hello Darlin' paper

Trick or Treat Box with Die Cuttin' Divas

Happy Tuesday all. I just got done with a 3 day weekend and of course I really needed a 4 day one to get all the things I wanted to get done..done! One thing I did get to do was create some simple treat boxes for my daughter's dance sisters. This is perfect because the challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas is 3D projects!!
This year the company girls have fun activities to do with/for their sisters each month and for Halloween it is to share a treat. I found a cute pumpkin to use on the box and went searching for some papers before cutting out the box and pumpkin.
I got everything put together, but before attaching the pumpkins to my boxes I decided to make them wobble for fun. Always a fun addition and this pumpkin was made to wobble I think.
I hope you all are having a great start to the week and that you get a chance to join us this week at Die Cuttin' Divas.  3D projects are always great for simple treats and with Halloween around the corner I know I need a few.

Supplies:
- Smiley Cards - Pumpkin
- Sweet Treats - box (minus polka dot add ons)
- Action Wobble

Fight Like a Girl Sketch Card with Die Cuttin' Divas

It is the first Tuesday of October and the first Tuesday always means a new sketch with Die Cuttin' Divas. For this sketch I worked on a card for another October staple, Breast Cancer awareness Month.
 I started with the papers and created the base of this great sketch from Carson's Creations.
Once I had all the papers done I cut out my image and stamped my sentiment  onto the right spots to complete the looks. I added my boxer on with an action wobble to make her fight stronger.
To anyone fighting Breast Cancer I wish you well and know lots of people are in your corner.  I hope others can join us at Die Cuttin' Divas for our sketch challenge this week.

Supplies:
- Cricut Decals - girl boxer
- Action Wobble
- Carson's Creations sketch
- Papers from Crate Paper, Hello, Love Stack
