Exploring Cricut - Back to School!

Welcome to another fun challenge at Exploring Cricut! This time we are creating for

Back To School
(Primary & Secondary Colors, ex. red, blue, yellow, green...)

And here's my take for the week.  I created a tissue cover for one of my fellow DT member who happens to be a teacher.

Cricut Carts

Plantin' Schoolbook
Makin' the Grade
Locker Talk
Simply Charmed
 
You can find the tutorial (including cuts and instructions) to create the base cover HERE at Splitcoast Stampers. 

For my base I used red card stock and cut the cover panels with black.  I wanted to mimic a chalkboard. 

Now for the Cricut cuts...

Plantin' Schoolbook - 2.5 inches red, brown & green CS - Apple; 1.5 inches white CS - Miss Evertz

Locker Talk - 3 inches - white & blue CS - Glue

Misc.

This is so adorable. I loved this idea and had to give it a try. I made a couple for my granddaughter's teachers for Christmas gifts. I made a couple of minor changes, but they turned out great. Thanks for the link to the tutorial also.

Surprise!!! It's Best Bunny!
