Hi Everyone!! I am so excited to share this project with you. I am a big Twilight Fan, and I created this project for my daughter because she loves the "Twilight" Series as much as I do. I've read all the books, seen all of the movies, and I can't wait until the movie "Eclipse" is at the theatre. I had so much fun making this tag. I used my Cricut Expression and the Design Studio to create this project. The cartridges that I used for this project were the Paper Doll Dress Up and the Sentimentals cartridge.
Here is a list of the items that you will need to cut to create this project. For the people that have Design Studio I’ve included the size of each item, just place the item on your mate and resize in the Shape Properties dialog box. If you don't have the Design Studio then I've include the page numbers, item, and button numbers that are in your cartridge booklet, use the sizes as a reference when you're cutting the items with your Cricut Expression.

The Flowers on the tag, the white, burgundy, and grey I made from silk ribbon, you can find an excellent tutorial on how to make these flowers if you visit Tiffany’s youtube channel, she has an awesome tutorial "Tomiko Flower Tutorial" on how to make these beautiful flowers. Here is the link to her youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/mammatiffy
The black flower I made from five pieces of 1 inch black ribbon that measured 2 1/4 inches, and you have to folded them in-half and sew onto a piece of thread just like Tiffany shows in her Tomiko Flower Tutorial. I recommend that you also watch her "Destiny Flower Tutorial", I have both videos saved in my favorite on my youtube channel.
The hat pin is created from a sewing pin with a bead on the end, I painted the bead on the top with red paint and added the white and silver pearl and hot glued the bottom of the siliver pearl.
I used my hot gun to glued the feathers onto a 1 1/2 circle punch, then I glued the flowers, and added just a little on the end of my hat pin and stuck it behind the black flower.
The Twilight saga
And
IT ALL BEGINS...WITH A CHOICE
The font that I use is the Basketville Old Face, and the font size was 20. I printed it out on printer paper, glued them to a piece of heavy cardstock and did the paper ripping technique on the end. I distress the edge with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink and I used a circle punch to cut out the Twilight saga and cut the circle in-half and distress the edges with Tim's Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
For the background I did a Rusted Enamel technique, if you visit Arlene channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/mybutterflykisses12 and watch her video "One of my fav Tim Techniques". "Rusted Enamel" this will show you how I created the background. The only difference is that I painted the tag with black paint and then I covered the tag with black embossing ink and sprinkled it with midnight black embossing power. Then I used the flicking technique to remove some of the embossing powder and heat set the embossing powder. Once the paper is cool rub pearl paint and silver glitter paint onto the surface until you achive a midnight background.
I took three pieces of fibres and braded them together. Then I taped them to the inside of the tag before I glued the two tags together. I added some bling to the bottom of the tag, then I glued the rest of the items onto the the tag.
This is a picture of how I group the items on the mat in Design Studio.
That's it ladies, if you have any question or would like a copy of this project just leave me a personal message and I can email you a copy. Also, don't forget to watch my youtube video Twilight "Eclipse" Tag I Made With My Cricut. Thank-you for visit my blog and have a great day!
