Shape Card- Travel Trailer



I used the gypsy for this card. I sized it to be an A2 card. I used Everyday Paper Dolls. I welded 2 campers together. Then I cut 2 more out, one in solid cardstock and on with pattern paper. I cut the pattern paper cutout apart and used pieces to decorate with. I made the curtains and tie backs freehand. I put vellum behind the door and windows. I used my white gel pen to add some detail. The nice thing with the gypsy is I can design all the cards and then when there is time lay out all the paper and cut. Don't have to worry about getting the cartridges out. This card can be used for going away, vacation or birthday or anyone who enjoys camping. Enjoy!

I'm not Lion



I used the lion from Create A Critter. He is cut at 2 inches. All the layers are cut at 2 inches. I used the Spots and Dots cuttlebug folder and then went over it with a black ink pad. I used my Crop A Dile to add the eyelets. The cloud was cut at 2 inches. I printed the saying out then set up my cricut to cut around it. I used brown chalk on the lion around the edges. Used brown ink around the edges of the cloud and added some dots. Added some stitch lines around the base. The pattern paper is scraps laying on my table. The nice thing about this cartridge is I am using a lot of scraps. This could be used for a Father's Day card or Birthday Card. Enjoy!
