ProvoCraft you are KILLING me!



Ok... where to start...

These are made with Noah's ABC Animals cartridge

Today I worked for a couple hours at our local craft store to demo this new cartridge.  Here are a couple of the animals I made before the demo.  (All the ones that were made at the demo went home with kids... and the kids LOVED this table!)

ProvoCraft is getting into the 3D side of things which is super fun if you have a good use for things.  The entire time I played with this I kept thinking about all those dioramas my kids were creating in Kindergarten through 2nd grade.  These would be perfect!  

However, I feel like the layers are getting crazier and crazier with the newer cartridges.  The learning curve is steep!  It takes a long time to create one of these guys, so I will need to get more practice with them I guess.  On some of the animals I just plain couldn't figure out the layers.  I have seen this with a few cartridges lately.  I think I am just going to need to get used to it.  is anyone else feeling overwhelmed by the complex layers?  Am I alone?

I am one of those people that is NOT a visual learner.  I like to read the directions and create my own visual.  When I look at pictures telling me what to do I am actually confused... so maybe that is my problem? Who knows :)

  6. These are really cute - but I agree, the layering is getting really tricky. I am buying very few cartridges these days, and most of them are Lite cartridges... Thanks for playing with us this week at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges. I hope to see you again soon :)

  9. lol, I stayed up late last night trying to figure out this cartridge. So, I know what you mean it started out with trying to cut and assemble the ark. But, the booklet states cut at 3" which is way too small guess making a costume out of it will not work. :) So, I decided to just focus on the monomials and it was like ok I know this should be pretty simply but it wasn't at all. The instructions are lacking and no one seems to be doing much of the 3-d version. It would be really helpful if provocraft will start doing video demos. But great job!! Keep up the work and keep posting we're all learning together.
