Turkeys with the Cricut Explore

Cricut Explore Machine

Simply Charmed Cartridge

Print and Cut feature

Yellow Card stock

Red Card Stock

Orange Cardstock

Turkey is cut 1.4 inches wide. I printed the turkey on white card stock and had the machine cut them out.

I then cut out the shadow of the turkey with black card stock and then cut out the wings, beak and waddle and glued them on the turkey for a little dimension. This machine is very quiet and it cuts great. Nice clean cuts even the beak onthe turkey cut clean and they stayed on the mat when I peeled back the paper.
