Aluminum Basket ala Cricut




Here is my entry for the "Cropping with the Stars" contest. I designed on my gypsy then cut aluminum roofing flashing in my cricut to make this cute Valentines basket. Ok, it didn't cut all the way through, but when I started to cut with the scissors, it just popped out nicely. It left a nice engraved image on the sides and the handle. Can you see where I painted the engraving? Of course I used ribbon, and I even cut the small flower out of fabric. I LOVE the way it turned out. I was going for a fresh, unique take on cricuting. What do you think? Did I do it? I REALLY would love to hear your comments.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Oh, Lori, I love this! I just noticed that they extended the deadline, so I may still try to get my project done...but it won't even come close to this one. Way to hit it out of the park, as usual!

Love it! You should definitely win instead of those other people with lame-o ideas.

Did you have to use a specific blade for it?
