Here is my project-

I wanted a simple decor item for Thanksgiving, and I love this. My piece of advice is to buy the frame first, then cut the file to fit! I couldn't find a frame in the different size this came out to be, so I had to trim about 1/2" off the sides to get it to fit! Here is a short material list-

1. Cricut cut: Home for the Holidays-Fall & Winter.
2. Paper: gold, dark orange cardstock.

Here is my project-

with light-

This is a Dreaming Tree file called Rocket Lantern, and was very easy to use after I learned a couple of things! The only thing you have to do with the SVG file is attach the score lines, so that when you cut the lantern pieces the score lines match up! Dreaming Tree tells you exactly how to do that here. So I cut, glued, and assembled until I got the rocket and base done. I chose to make sparklers for my decorations instead of metallic pipe cleaners, so I flattened the Sparkler from Summer Celebrations, made a mirror image, then printed and cut them. There are six sparklers with 6 mirror images. I thought that by gluing them together they would stand up by themselves-NOT! So I took some black wire I had and glued it to the back of the sparkler, then went through the holes and taped the wire down. Don't finish the bottom of the base until everything else is done! But i like the way the sparklers turned out! I did order the same tealight that Dreaming Tree uses, and they are awesome! After the 4th of July I'll use the tealight in something else so I can enjoy it.

Here is my project-

I made this paper sculpture for my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day. I used the Dreaming Tree Hummingbird Paper Sculpture to make this, and it was so easy! I love the tutorials the owner, Leo Kowal, does-it makes it so easy to put together! The pearls ere from my stash, and the background paper is some old CTMH cardstock I inherited. The tag is from Cricut Access from Draw + Cut Everyday tags, and I used scraps of white and blue to make it. The frame is one I bought a long time ago, so I don't know where I bought it!

Here is my project-

I've always wanted a "March" t-shirt, and I finally made myself one! The saying on this shirt means "kiss my arse" in gaelic! But how many people would know that unless you told them? I used a font I found in Cricut Access for the sentiment, and used a Dreaming Tree clover (Luck of the Irish set). The green glitter and green iron-on is from Cricut (I used my regular iron, and it adhered really well).

My next project is for a t-shirt I can wear at our local autocross track while I tech cars. Try making a shirt today!

Without sentiment-

This card is made from Crazy Cute Cards, from Cricut Access. I used lots of scraps (green, brown, white cardstock), along with light blue, medium blue, and blue green cardstock (Michael's), plus the holographic paper from Wal-Mart. I added some Crystal Stickles for some added interest on the globe front. On the inside, the chalet can be removed to show the beautiful mountains, and use the chalet as a Christmas tag. So this can be used two ways!

1. Cricut Cuts: surf boards (Creative Memories Traveler), Woody (Dude), and sentiment (Life is a Beach font).
2. Paper: black, white, tan, red, light blue, teal, cardstock from stash, cloud paper (Bella Blvd), sand (old Creative Memories).

Dreaming Tree Mailbox Card, Artiste sentiment

Dreaming Tree Apple Blossom Lantern

If you've never made a project using Dreaming Tree's SVG files, you are missing out on some gorgeous projects! I made both the card and the lantern with paper in my stash, along with the rhinestones, pearls and I-rock pink studs. Leo (The owner of Dreaming Tree) makes the best assembly videos, and I've learned to watch them at least once before I try to assemble! The Cricut cut on the mailbox card is from Artiste, and is the sentiment. The lantern will have a Cricut tag on it when I give this to my mother-in-law for Mother's Day.

Be sure to leave a comment-the Explore winner will be chosen from all comments left during the blog hop!

I am also entering both of these projects at  Classic Design Team Challenges!

Inside

Dreaming Tree makes such wonderful SVG kits! This is the Spring Card from the Gate Fold Bundle, which I changed the front flower to one I made from Mothers Day Bouqet 2010 cartridge (I did use the stamen from the Dreaming Tree card!). Very easy to put together, and Leo has videos you can watch (I highly recommend doing this) so that you aren't lost in the assembly process. The papers I used are all from my stash. I'm going to leave a sentiment off for now, and use the card to fit whatever comes up.
