Cat Shaped Birthday Card

Created this Clean & Simple CAS Cat Shaped Birthday Card using Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge and Gypsy. I had one person ask what is a Gypsy last time I mentioned using that and so in case others are not familiar the Gypsy is a handheld device that a project is created on and with it shaped cards can be made because there is an option to weld two images together, project can be saved and is connected to the Cricut machine to cut the image.

Used a Sakura JellyRoll pen to make the detail marks on the head & face features. Added gems for eyes & liquid Pearls for nose. Stamped a sentiment by doing what I call stamp piecing where I cut stamps to arrange the words the way I want and leave out what I do not want. Stamped pieced Whimsical Designs Everday Sentiments 'Happy Birthday To You' cutting 'Happy' & 'Birthday' to be separate words and not use 'To You.' Embossed sentiment tag with one of my most used Cuttlebug Embossing Folders, Swiss Dots. Added some ribbon.
