Anyway, on to my project. I have been wanting to make a board book on my cricut for quiet some time now. One morning I had an idea and starting designing this one on my gypsy. I thought "Noel" would be the perfect thing to cut out for a Christmas book. At first, I had a hard time cutting the chipboard I used. I chose to use a cereal box with my deep cut blade but after cutting it many times and not having much luck, I gave up. My machine was making noises and the blade wouldn't move unless I had it on a pressure of 1. I decided to go at it again with some thinner chipboard on a pizza box and not use my deep cut blade. After one cut it cut out perfectly! I am thrilled with how it came out!
Here is the book standing up

Supplies and Directions:
Cartridges: Plantin Schoolbook for the letters and the rectangle. I welded a rectangle onto each of the letters and just stretched the rectangle until I was satisfied with the look of the letters overlapping each other. I used Joys of the Season for the ornaments.
Paper: Stampin UP! Jolly Holiday DSP and Very Vanilla for the ornaments and saying
Stamps: Stampin UP! Teeny Tiny Wishes and PKS Everyday Face Assortment
Ink: Stampin UP! Basic Black, Old Olive, and Cherry Cobbler
Misc: Silver Stickles, various ribbon, 3 gypsies rings, and Stampin UP! Old Olive brads
