I used the gypsy to weld two seals together using the shadow function using black card stock.

Cut out the cupcake liner out in brown.
Cut out the cheeks and frosting in pink.

The Happy Birthday was cut with purple at 1.5 inches.

21st Birthday Card

I made this card using Design Studio. (Ignore the date in the photo.) I used Plantin Schoolbook cartridge George and Basic Shapes cartridge. I welded the 21st to a rectangle. I used the shadow feature for the base of the card. I then cut out the regular 21st to layer on the base using a pattern paper. I used the new cuttlebug folder from HSN to give the paper some texture. I used Charcoal cats eye chalk ink on the edges. I then cut the welded "birthday" and ran that through the "Swiss Dots" cuttlebug folder and ran an ink pad over the texture. I then added flowers to the numbers. Some are attached to the number and some are popped up. On the inside of the card I put a layer of white paper and inked the edges also.

Cat Shape Card

This card uses Zoobaloo and George and Basic Shapes cartridges. I used design studio to weld 2 cats together using the shadow feature and also used a square from george cartridge. I cut the card shape out with brown cardstock. I then cut out a regular cat in the dark pink and the layer using the papttern paper. I inked around the edges of the pattern paper and after I glued it down I went around the edges with a white gel pen. I glued wiggle eyes and used pink stickles on the nose and put small dots of stickles on each of the polka dots. Enjoy!

Penguin Birthday Card

For this card I used my cricut with sure cuts alot. The penguin was a free cut file from www.svgcuts.com . Check out their site for the cut file and other freebies. They also sell collections. I made the penguin into a card by putting 2 penguins together and flipping one and then hit weld. The card is 4 1/4 wide by 5 1/2 tall. I cut the base out using the shadow feature on SCAL and then cut the black and other details at the normal cut. I put orange stickles on the beak to give it some sparkle. I did ink around the edges also. Inside I put a scalloped circle and stamped a birthday sentiment on it. Enjoy!

S-Fold Happy Birthday Card

For this card I used a standard card and folded the front panel in half. I used scraps of paper from a thanksgiving paper pack from "Me and My Big Ideas". The inside paper I used my Fiskars border punch. I inked the edges of all the paper. The cake is from A Child's Year cartridge cut at 2 and 3/4 inches. I used Design Studio to lay out the pieces on my mat so I could use little scrapes of paper. I cut the candle out with green, the flame out with yellow, the cake out of brown, and the icing out with white. The mat that the cake is on is 3 x 3 inches. Enjoy!

Snappy Birthday

The inspiration for this card came from a card I saw that used a rubber stamp for the crab and the wording. I did not have the stamp but with the cricut and SCAL I didn't need a stamp. For this card I used the SCAL program to cut the crab and the lettering. The crab is from

http://svgcuts.com/blog/ it was a free cut file. Check out this site. They have some great cuts. The crab was cut at 4 inches. The top layer in red and the bottom layer in black. I added some red stickles to him to dress him up. The letters were cut from a font on my computer at 3/4 inch. I added frosted lace stickles to the letters and the circles on the paper. The card is from Wild Card Cartridge it is the doily card cut with the blackout button on. The size of the card is 5 1/2 inches. Enjoy!

Old Fashion Bike

This is a birthday card. I found a picture of an old bike and converted it into a cut file. I used inkscape and then imported it in SCAL. I love this program. The black cut out in one piece and the wheels as separate pieces. For the spokes on the bike I first drew light lines and then I went back with a paper piercer poked holes along the lines. I then erased the lines. I added some silver glitter glue and inked the wheels. I used clear glossy finish on the wheels. I like how this turned out. It is not a girly card. Enjoy!
