Oscar the Grouch

Hello, friends!  Marilyn here with Monday's Die Cut.  Before we start, here is my tip:  leave the sentiment off your card until you're ready to use it.  I made this card using Oscar the Grouch.  Oscar is holding a stack of books.  What can this card be used for?  Maybe Back-To-School?  I will probably use it for a book fan whose birthday is coming up. 

Here is what I used to create my card:

  • Cricut Cartridge:  Sesame Street Seasons
  • Designer Paper:  Echo Park "Dots & Stripes"
  • Twine:  American Crafts
  • Other:  Fun Flock "Teddy Bear Tan"

  • A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"
    Cricut Sesame Street Seasons cartridge
    Card Recipe:
    • Mat 1 (dark green) = 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
    • Mat 2 (green polka dot) = 5.25" x 4"
    • Mat 3 (brown stripe) = 3.5" x 4".
    • Twine (on either side of brown mat) = from American Crafts

    • Oscar = cut image and shadow at 3.25" from Cricut Sesame Street Seasons cartridge; [Oscar3] found on page 57 of the folder.  Oscar is mounted with foam tape.
    • Eyebrows on Oscar = I really didn't card for the paper cut, so I added some tan flock where the eyebrows should be.
    • Trash on ground = hand torn from white card stock.

    Inside of Card:
    • Mat 1 (dark green) = 5" x 3.75"
    • Mat 2 (white) = 4.75" x 3.5"
    Thank you for visiting today.  As always, comments are welcomed and appreciated!

    Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

    Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon. TIP:  Easy way to create borders for your scrapbook page layouts, or embellishing the page or creating edges for your cards.  Gives you ease of creating a border across the edge(s) of paper; and create a border strip and cut down to size you would like for embellishing a sentiment mat for a card or front of card.
