Happy May!
I recently took part in a group Swap with a Facebook group and had the great opportunity to create some Alice In Wonderland themed items. The requirements were to make a Mini Loaded envelope measuring 4' by 6', as well as 5 Embellishments, a Large Tag, and a Wand.
I designed the envelope in no time using Cricut Design Space, and went to work on making sure all the pieces were cohesive.
|
Behind Alice is a pocket, designed with Cricut Design Space and layered with specialty trims. |
|
I made this large Rose with Cricut Design Space and my Cricut Explore Air2, Liquitex Gesso, Glitter, and a gem and key. Other flowers were from my stash. |
|
I added charms throughout to tie in the Alice in Wonderland Theme. |
|
The front of the wand has a teapot, topped with a mini sequin heart, and added glitter. I made the rosette with the Cricut, and added gold acrylic paint throughout, with seam binding, lace, and fuzzy pink feather trim. |
|
The back of the wand has a Rabbit with time clock. I used Cricut Print & Cut to make him, added glossy accents, a charm, and backed him with a Cloth heart, layered with Washi Tape, and embellished with Gold paint and heart sequins. |
|
The large tag was embellished with Ranger Liquid pearls, Seam binding, twine, and another Rabbit charm. |

|
The large tag has a caption made with Cricut Print and Cut, a butterfly border, gold trim, and is glittered, as well as embellished with gold paint and liquid pearls. |
|
The back of the tag was finished. |
|
The small tags completed the requirements of 5 dies. I made toppers with a diecut, and used the Cricut Explore Air 2 to make teacups with little tea bags. The little hearts were topped with stickles. The trims are gold and peach tones. |
|
I also added these cute little Prima buttons as a gift. I loved the colors! |
|
The other little gifts were stickers, keys, and stamps, and they all got topped off with more images of Alice, the Mad hatter, and different dies. |
|
These little altered clips helped hold things together. |
|
On the back, instead of a traditional pocket, I added a doily to hold the goodies, and a small envelope and card, made with my Cricut. |
|
The little envelope and pink lace. |
|
One of the clips was a small shaker I made with a tiny bow and sentiment. |
|
I also used a lacy background from Design Space to finish the back, then distressed it with Gesso, glitter, and gold paint splatter.
Sadly, one of my favorite components is not pictured here, as I forgot to take pictures of the Altered envelope and Spoon that I also made for my swap partner.
I will post more pictures separately of the rest of the swap contents!!
