Mardi Gras Tag

Created this Mardi Gras tag using Tags,
Bags, Boxes & More Cricut cartridge to
make the tag and the Destinations Cricut
cartridge for the Mardi Gras phrase & Mask.
Have had the Destinations cartridge for some
time but this is first time using it. I like how
clean the cuts were using glitter cardstock
which can be a blade and pressure setting
problem for me sometimes.

Cut the tag standard #8 size 3 1/8" x 6 1/4". Cut
the mask image and did not like the extra hole
below one of the eye cutouts so I hid that with
my Gypsy.

Had an odd thing happen with my Gypsy when I
was planning the project while watching an Audrey
Hepburn movie "A Nun's Life" this wk. My images
were moving back & forth on the screen and I could
not get it to stop & could not get the Gypsy to go to
the save file option so I powered off, powered back
on & started over and it did not happen again.
Anyone have this happen before?

Embossed the tag using a Fleur de Lis embossing
folder. I cut my embossing folder at the top so I could
slip the tag thru. Tim Holtz mentioned doing this and
with my Tim Holtz scissors I cut an opening at the
top.

Attached the images, gems & ribbon.

Visited New Orleans some time before my daughter
was born. Highlight of New Orleans trip was an evng
dinner trip on a Paddle Wheel Boat. Mardi Gras beads
are from a trip to Disney World in FL during Spring Break
with daughter & hubby.
