I'm slowly working on cards for a card swap I'm in. We're doing 16 cards -- 1 for each month plus 4 more. So here's one for July. I used the Independence Day mini and cut the hat out at 3 1/2 inches. I used the Gypsy so was able to do the band and the stars in different colors. I added yellow stickles to the stars and white faux sticking around the rim. The stamp is a Studio G, I think and the ribbon was some old Stampin' Up! that I'm almost out of. Then I just finished it off with some skittles. I'm not sure where the patterned came from, it was just in my stash.
I have to say that using my Gypsy makes creating so much easier and faster. I usually design while hanging out with my family. The hardest part is picking out the papers, but this one was super fast today :-)
Great card! And I must agree about picking out the papers...that's always the hardest/ longest part of the process for me!
ReplyDeleteI so agree - the hardest part for me is picking out the paper! great card!
ReplyDeleteReally great card! I love the pattern paper!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! Isn't the Gypsy a wonderful thing? I designed a bunch of stuff at the cottage last weekend. There isn't even a TV there, let alone the internet, or anyof my scrapbboking supplies for that matter... TFS :)
