I've always wanted to try cutting felt with my Cricut, and it turns out it's really easy! I made my card base with Elegant Edges, by welding two 5.44" oblong shapes together on my Gypsy. I added a couple of layers in decreasing sizes and ran the brown layer through the Cuttlebug.
To make my ice-cream cone, I ironed some "Heat 'n Bond" to my felt and then cut the cone from Sweet Shop at 3.5" using the deep cut blade in my Cricut. I was surprised with how easily it cut! I then handstitched around the edges and adhered it together and to the the card with a glue gun.
My little tag was made with a Papertrey Ink die and stamps, and I attached it to the card with some twine.

I love the look of the felt on your card Katie! Where can I get "Heat and Bond"? Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! At Valentine's I made some applique hand towels and cut heart shapes using my Cricut. It was OK but didn't work perfectly with the regular blade so I'm glad to know the other blade solves the cutting. I was able to hand trim them a bit for a cleaner edge and the towels turned out well. Putting the DC blade on my shopping list! Thanks for sharing, J
