Make Lemonade<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"simply](\"https:\/\/craftdirect-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/make-lemonade-300x203.jpg\")
The Simply Charmed cartridge made this summertime card fun and simple.\u00a0 The overall size of the card is 4 x 6 inches.<\/p>\n
The words “Make Lemonade” are cut out at 1.5″ and the Lemonade cup is cut out at 2.5″<\/p>\n
I got creative and tied it all together with a little bit of craft ribbon and a soda tab! We also used the 1\/4″ corner rounder on the corners.<\/p>\n
The craft paper is from We-R-Memory Keepers and it’s the popular Down the Boardwalk paper collection.\u00a0 This collection is beautiful and will help you unleash your creativity.<\/p>\n
Thanksgiving Turkey<\/strong><\/h2>\nI wanted to make the perfect turkey, and I’m not talking about baking the turkey in the oven. For this turkey, you just need some fun paper, your Cricut Ribbons & Rosettes, and Simply Charmed cartridges. This post is a little long, but I want to make it as easy as possible and have some pictures along the way.<\/p>\n
For each of the layers of feathers, I cut out the “feathers” and a circle to glue the “feathers” into.<\/p>\n
For the large back “feather” layer I cut the rosette at 3″ and the circle at 8″ both from the Ribbons & Rosettes cartridge. Punch a little hole in the very top of the circle if you want to hang it on the wall, it’s probably easier to do before you glue everything together. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The middle layer is 2.5″ with a 6″ circle<\/p>\n
The smaller layer is 2″ with a 5″ Circle<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
On the circles cut off the bottom half of the circle about 2.5″ on the large one and 2″ on the middle and 1.5″ on the smaller one. These are approximate, hard to measure exactly how big to cut the cardstock<\/strong><\/a> circle so just use your best judgment.<\/p>\nThen using a glue gun (or you could use any quick dry glue. Glue the “feathers from left to right on the circle. I made sure that both ends of my rosette were laying down flat so that it held together better. Here is a picture of that:<\/p>\n

I also did glue about every third one down, so that it held together on the circle.<\/p>\n
I did three layers of these, and then used the glue gun to put a small strip of glue<\/strong><\/a> on the back of the circle to glue them on top of each other.<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0<\/strong> the turkey, I should have made it more clear, when you are cutting out the rosettes, you will need 6 sections for each size so that you can get the length that you need to make it go around.<\/p>\n![\"happy](\"https:\/\/craftdirect-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/happ-new-year-300x290.jpg\")
