Look at this beauty!

We are so excited to be reviewing the Cricut Explore Air 2 (which you can get loads more info on here).  And we even got the Mint color, which is Midge's favorite!  We always love all things Cricut and immediately we wanted to put this one to good use.

Being that the holidays are upon us.  We decided to do a quick Countdown to Christmas Calendar.  We painted a 12"x12" shadow box cream.  We cut the "Santa's Sleigh" from black glitter vinyl found here.  For the words and the Crescent of the moon we used gold glitter vinyl found here. The Full moon is cut from gold metallic vinyl found here.  And the numbers were cut from black glitter cardstock.  The only other supplies you need are the 2 miniature black binder clips, (we attached our clips with Beacon Adhesives Power-Tac) and some of you favorite Christmas paper for the backgrounds.

As with all of the Cricut Machines, we found the Cricut Explore Air 2 is extremely user friendly.  And the most important new feature ***the Air 2 cuts even faster than the previous machines!!!  This is really an important function for us because Midge is super impatient and Madge doesn't like to listen to her LOL!  The very intricate design of "Santa's Sleigh" from Cricut Access, Cut nice and clean, even with the quicker speed.  You can get a closer look at the detail here.

The font we used from Cricut Access was "Noah's ABC Animals".  We thought it had a fun Holiday look.
We will be linking our "Mingle" that has all of the details as to how we made this quick and easy Countdown Calendar.  And don't forget...for all of the information you could ever need about Cricut and the Cricut Explore Air 2, just click here!
