CTMH Cricut Cartridge Cuts with a Twist! You'll have to see it to believe it!

 First off I want to say how excited I am to be the Guest Designer over at Heart 2 Heart this month!  Yes, all month I'll be sharing my crazy ideas and ramblings!  Please join in the fun!  This first challenge is Cricut Cuts with a Twist!

So, with no further intro I'll get right to the project!

I'm sure you are looking at this thinking, "Wait, isn't this a challenge where we show off our CTMH goodies?  Sure it is about Cricut Cuts with a Twist: Use a die-cut in a unique way, but .......... I don't get it!"

Ah, but you will!

Everything you see here is from CTMH!  Really, it's true!  I would never lie around these guys!

When I saw the challenge for this week, I was so excited because I immediately interpreted it to mean twist the cuts and change them in a unique way.  Now, after talking with my family 2/4 of us read it that way, but my daughter thinks it means something else.  She interpreted it to mean make a Cricut cut and USE it in a unique way like not in the usual card or layout.   My son even got into this discussion and added he thought it meant to use it in a layout or card in an unexpected way.  This is what I LOVE about Heart 2 Heart Challenges; they are really open to interpretation and we get to see how all of our crafty minds envision them!

So, I really literally went with the idea of Cricut Cuts with a Twist!  I twisted, manipulated, flipped, welded, and made everything you see here from shapes in CTMH Artiste, Art Philosophy, and Artbooking Cartridges!

From his movie recent promos, here's Kermit!

I basically welded those shapes and hand cut an arc in the red and pink shapes to make the mouth and tongue.  I'm sure you can see the rest since a picture is worth a thousand words!  I cut two clovers because I wasn't sure of the size and I wanted some extras!  I finished him up with a black marker.  I cut off the bottoms of his collar for use in a window type card, but removed him for his Heart 2 Heart photo shoot!

As you can see, I used a lot of pieces for Pooh!  Yes, I used socks in the honey pot and shirt!  Now, that's some unique twists!

 Now for my thinkers!  I created these guys for a belated birthday card.  Here's the funny part, the recipient's b-day isn't until May, but I always forget!  So now I just plan to send a belated card!  Snoopy's ears are cut from the 0 and his body was a flower vase.  His head is an inverted raindrop!

Ok, so now you have an in-depth view of how my mind works.  A little scary, huh?  A little twisted?  Maybe!
