Cricut: Altered notebook

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links. 

Here's a quick and easy way to brighten up an otherwise boring notebook!

Products used:

The birdcage and flowers are from the Bloom cartridge - image number #M44AE5.

The bird was sliced from another birdcage image from the Meow cartridge - image number #M3CC34.

All the images used are included in Cricut Access, so if you're subscribed you'll be able to cut this project for free.

I used Cricut Stainless Gold adhesive foil for the birdcage.

The black shadow of the birdcage, the bird and the leaves are cut from the new Cricut Outdoor vinyl.

The flowers were cut from cardstock and embossed with the Cuttlebug using the Divine Swirls and Polka Dots Cuttlebug embossing folders.

I used Stampin' Dimensionals from Stampin' Up! under the flowers to pop them up.

Hope you like it! Here's the Design Space cut file if you want to use it:

Cricut Adhesive foil project

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links. The products used in this project were supplied by Provocraft. This is my honest review.

Here's a quick project I made using the Cricut Adhesive Foil.

The foil colour I used was Stainless Purple. The Cricut foils are a removable product so you can use them to create temporary labels or decorations.

They're easy to weed and much easier than vinyl to apply as they don't have as much adhesive on them. I found that transfer tape needed a bit of coaxing to stick to the foil.

I used a Make it Now project that was meant for a wine glass. Here's the link to the project: Wine Glass Decals Make it Now project

I hid all but two rows of decals, enlarged the remaining rows and cut them. 

There is a Custom Foil setting but I bumped up the cut setting to Iron On Neon to get it to cut just a touch deeper. It's possible my blade is getting slightly blunt and this setting made it super easy to weed.

I placed it on a "Skurar" bucket from Ikea. Sadly you can't see the shine of the foil in my photo! 

The foil comes in Gold, Silver, Stainless Gold, Stainless Silver and Stainless Purple and you can find it here:  Cricut Adhesive Foils

The Gold and Silver are super shiny and really have the same look as using foils in a Minc machine. 

The rolls are 12" x 48" long and are currently on sale for $5.99 per roll. (Regular price is $9.99 per roll.)

I'm planning on using the foils and the Cricut Window Cling to decorate my windows for Christmas. (Assuming a bunch of Christmas elves arrive to help me!)

Happy foiling!  ♥
