Cars Party Decor

Cars Party Decor

Designed for Oh My Crafts

I'm a huge Disney Pixar fan and when Cars 2 came out, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to help throw a Cars 2 release party by inviting friends over to watch Cars 1 before the big premier.  For this party decor I used vinyl and the Cricut Cartridge Cars to make my own party décor.


Supplies: Cricut Cartridge: Cars | Oh My Crafts Vinyl : Assorted Colors | Sizzix : Bigz Pro Die - Box, Popcorn #2 | Napco : Set of 2 Planter (Yellow and White)

Instructions: Start by cutting out backgrounds for each image in black and then cut out the features with the appropriate colors. Use transfer tape to assist in putting the large pieces of vinyl on the background but for the small pieces, you should be fine without it. The black background should have cuts that help when layering the vinyl.

All of the vinyl was cut at blade setting 5, Medium depth, and fast speed.

Image from Cars Cartridge	Vinyl Colors	Size
"The World of Cars" Sign	Ebony, Cherry Red and Cloud White	11 1/2"
Mater	Ebony, Cloud White, Walnut, Peanut Butter, Elephant Grey, Stormy Grey, Celadon, Metallic Copper	11 1/2"
Lightning McQueen	Ebony, Cherry Red, Cloud White, Lemon drop, Persimmon, Walnut, Admiral Blue	8"

Many of the cars will not cut larger than 11 1/2"; however, this Lightning McQueen will cut very large (note that this car cut at 8”).

What's a party without popcorn?  Here's how I made the boxes:

Simply die cut the boxes with the Big Shot Pro machine and assemble. Use Oh My Crafts Exclusive Acid Free Craft Tape ½”x5 feet for a strong hold. Adhere a Cars emblem to the box in vinyl. Line the boxes with a plastic bag (found at general party stores) and fill with popcorn or goodies.
