You're A Hoot

Use my gypsy to lay out the card.

Create A Critter:

Owl and all the layers cut at 2 inches.

Branch cut at 2 inches.

Hoot cut at .82 inches.

Don Juan Cartridge:

You're A cut at ,62 inches

I welded a branch and an Owl in black cardstock together to make a base. I then cut out all the layers to the owl. I used brown cardstock for the base layer. I used a brown pattern paper for the next layer and pink pattern paper for the top layer.

For the branch I used a lite brown cardstock and then cut a piece of the branch in green cardstock for the leaves.

I popped the branch up from the base to give dimension and used Cinnamon Stickles on the branch and parts of the Owl.

I used Green Stickles on the leaves.

I used Diamond Stickles on the pink parts of the owl.

I used Orange Stickles on the Beak and the Lettering.

The background pattern paper is from Provo Craft.

I inked around the edges if the pattern paper and the letters using Chestnut Roan and Charcoal chalk ink.

I tied a piece of brown ribbon around the card. Enjoy!

Birthday Fish shape card

For this card I used my gypsy to weld the fish together to make a shape card. The fish is from Paper Dolls for Everyday and it is cut at 6 inches real dial size. I cut 2 more layers to give dimension and detail. Inked all the edges and then used green stickles to give a little punch. The fishing pole is from the same cartridge cut at 11.5 inches wide. The 65 is from the Don Juan cartridge and the "Holy Mackerel" is the font from A Child's Year and welded together. I put some fishing line from the pole to the numbers so the dangle free. Used a large google eye on the fish. This is a large card and will not fit a standard envelope. Enjoy!

Dad Card

For this card I used:

Don Juan cartridge for the word Dad I welded it together with my gypsy and the height is 1.92 inches. The number sign is cut at height .61 inches and the 1 is cut at .92 inches.

Paper Dolls for Everyday Trophy cut at height 5.24 inches (not real dial size)

The pattern paper is from an old My Mine's Eye collection.

I tore the edges on the top paper on all four sides and on the bottom layer only two sides and used a border punch on one edge.

Kraft cardstock for the base of the card.

I rounded one corner and used a white gel pen to put stitch marks on one side and bottom.

The trophy is popped up one layer and the Dad is two layers. Enjoy!

Fishing Birthday Card

For this card I used the gypsy to weld all the words. The letters came from Don Juan cartridge. The fisherman came from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. I like that I can lay everything out on the gypsy and just cut. I don't have to get cartridges or booklets out. I inked all the edges and went around some of the designs with a white gel pen. The fishing pole I added some string and ties the fish on the string. I used pop dots to give the fish dimension and I also coated them with a clear glaze. The background paper was in my stash and I ran it through my big shot with the cuttlebug foler Spots and Dots and then sanded the raised areas. I used silver shimmer paper for the letters. I used Peachy Keen stamps for the face. Inside the card I put Happy Birthday and a fish cut from Everyday Paper Dolls. Enjoy!
