Hi, this is Katie from Crafting with Katie, and I am so excited that Joy and Melanie asked me to return as a guest designer this week! For today's project, I made a Thanksgiving wall hanging. It is made with an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of thick chipboard. I originally bought this chipboard to use with my Cricut, but it is way too thick. However, it's just perfect to build upon for a wall hanging!
I began by adhering an 8 1/2 x 11" piece of dark orange cardstock to the chipboard. On top of that, I added my patterned paper, cut at 8" x 11". I made this piece of paper by taking a pretty piece of blue patterned paper and using my Imagine to print on it some word art from the Cricut Word Collage cartridge. To see how I was able to center the word art and use RGB codes to print in a customized color, watch the video below.
My tree is cut at 10" from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. Since I didn't need the entire tree and didn't want to waste paper, I slid part of the tree off of my screen on my Gypsy and just cut the part that I wanted.
These cute leaves are from the Art Philosophy cartridge, cut at 1". I inked around their edges with some distress ink.
Finally, I used my Crop-a-Dile to punch holes and attach some eyelets. A piece of ribbon to coordinate with my cardstock finished it off!
Recipe:
Chipboard
Papertrey Ink Terracotta Tile, Dark Chocolate, Orange Zest, Pure Poppy, & Summer Sunrise Cardstock
Fancy Pants Designs "Beach Bum" Patterned Paper
Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink
We R Memory Keepers Large Eyelets
Papertrey Ink Terracota Tile Topnotch Twill Ribbon

Wow Katie this is amazing!! When i first saw it I thought there is no way the cricut cut out all those words(i thought you had used vinyl) but when i saw you used the imagine, it really makes me want one!! Congrats on being asked back by joy and mel!!

Thanks for the great idea, which in turn has given me another idea for next year of having my family write what they are thankful for on the leaves. A one leaf a day kind of thing. Thanks again for sharing the beautiful wall hanging.

Beautiful! Also thanks for the tip on how to "trick" my imagine. I wish they would just let us place images where we need them to be instead of them always defaulting to the top left. :)
Really beautiful! I love it!
Beautiful, beautiful wall hanging! I was wondering how you got all your letters cut and lined up so perfectly on the background of the wall hanging......then I read down a bit further and saw that you had printed it. SMART! thanks for sharing. :D
I love your Thanksgiving project. Really cool!
That is so beautiful! I like to have these ideas right before Christmas! Thanks!
Beautiful wall hanging! The sad part is, as I read how it was made. I don't have the Imagine, or the Gypsy... I'm getting equipment envy!
Can't wait to see what the rest of your week will bring us!
