Horse Series

Awhile back I just HAD to have the Cricut Old West cartridge. I have to admit that at the time, I really only wanted it for the bale of straw cut--needed for an upcoming bulletin board in Sunday School.

I was asked to make some cards for a 4H fundraiser with horses. This is one of those cards.

I laid the entire card out in Design Studio to be sure of all the sizes before cutting. I made the egg shape with George & Basic Shapes. The night sky has a circle that was masked off while I did the gradient sky with varying shades of blues & purples.

The horseshoe is cut from A Child's Year, and the horse is from Old West. The background paper is printed blue denim, with a frame of black to match the horseshoe.

Monkey card

Another shaped card from Animal Kingdom and Design Studio. I think it would be better if the brown paper was a bit lighter, but it still turned out. It made a great birthday card for a very young nephew.

Frog card

This card was made for a little boy, of course! It is cut from the Cricut Animal Kingdom cartridge. I used Design Studio to make a shaped card. Wiggle eyes were added for dimension. A small Cuttlebug embossing folder was used on the envelope flap.
