Cut It Up Challenge #14 - Dr. Suess Theme

Hello friends and welcome to my first DT project post for the Cut it up Challenge Blog!!!

CIU Challenge #14 is Happy Birthday Dr. Suess. His birthday was March 2nd and to celebrate all of his amazing talent we've been asked to make a project inspired by one of his books.

For my project, I decided to make a few bookmarks. I can always use book marks since I read quite a bit in my off time and of course like Mother like Daughter so I had to make two of each. ;)

Here they are! What do you think? Pretty Suess-ie if I do say so myself. :)




To start, I used MCCR (my cricut craft room) and the Art Philosophy cart. I choose the tag on page 50 and resized it to 2 x 7" to give a longer leaner look. I cut this out first on chipboard using the multi cut feature (2 times).

Then I went back to my file in MCCR and I copied the bookmark 4 times and flipped two of the images. I selected my CS and cut these out again. I used DCWV Grade School for the Cat in the Hat and DCWV Fun in the Sun for the Lorax.

I used the free classroom downloadable images for the Cat in the Hat and the Lorax. I fussy cut around my images after printing them and adhered them to my chipboard bookmarks. I colored the lorax with colored pencils since he was just an outline.

The tree stump is from Hampton Art Foot long stamp set. I stamped that on yellow CS and fussy cut around the image then topped it off with some yellow stickles. I gave the truffula trees a little sparkle too with some orange peel stickles. Then I added some ribbon from my stash to finish the look.
