I wanted to dress up my mantel for the fall, and Thanksgiving holiday. I used Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More for the Tag. Which was cut at 11.24"x5.9" on my Gypsy. This allowed me to cut six tags on one mat. The letters were cut at 1" using Gypsy Font. I cut the oval shapes with my spell binder dies, and added dimensionals between the layers, and also added the pop dots to the back of each letter. I then tied each letter to some thick twine with red ribbon. I almost forgot to mention the turkey that separates the two words. He was cut using the Imagine. For the glass block, I cut the tree, and the scarecrow using the Celebrate With Flourish Cricut cartridge. I didn't make a note of the size for these two cuts. I did adjust the sizes with my Gypsy so that they would fit just right on the size of my block. I cut the images for the block out of thick black cardstock, and added removable glue dots, and adhered them to the block. This way when I get ready to decorate the block for Christmas, I can just remove the fall image and store it in a file. I didn't want to have several blocks for every holiday, so I will just keep redecorating the same one. Less stuff to store.
