Sandcastle canvas made using the Fun in the Sun cartridge.

Hello, everyone!

Today I have a home decor piece made using the Fun in the Sun cartridge. This cartridge has a lot of great cuts including this sandcastle!

Here is the Cricut Craft Room file: http://www.box.com/s/462ls5bg6qmehmeogqyh

To make this I painted the canvas with aqua and sand colored acrylic paints. Then I cut out the sandcastle and popped it on with dimensional adhesive. Could it get any easier than that? I think not ;-)

Have a great day and we will be back here tomorrow!

January promotions:

The January stamp of the month is called Little Reminder and coordinates with the Art Philosophy cartridge. It also has some great number and sentiment stamps! As usual it is $17.95 if purchased alone or only $5 with any purchase of $50 or more!



Also, the Rock the Block promotion continues until the end of the month for any order over $25 out of the Fall/Winter catalog for just $15 (a $45 value!). You save $30!

This great promotion comes with the blocks, holder, and this massive stamp set!

*NOTE make sure you add promotions when prompted by the ordering system. If you add promotional items for prompting the discount price will not be reflected in the total. Also, orders cannot be altered after the orders are placed. Please contact me before the order is finalized if you have problems.

Deedles said...

Wow I love the New Testament cart. I had requested Cricut do a cart with various scrolled crosses like the Love Struck scrolled and intricate images.
But the images on the Testament cart are a close second. I really love the images and what can be accomplished as a proclamation of my faith.

Karen in Upstate SC said...

Super cute! Would also love this idea in a scrapbook or for a card! Thanks for the inspiration!
