'Laser Tag' Birthday Card

A birthday card required for a birthday boy having a laser tag party this week.

Using Cricut 'Every Day Paper Dolls' I cut out a body and head at 3.75 inches. I cut out trousers, shoes, a top and a body warmer. I cut a small square with rounded corners out of white and grey card to create the pad they fire at. The gun was cut from the 'Paper doll dress up' Cartridge. The glasses were cut from 'Every day Paper dolls Cartridge' using the skiers goggles but I cut round to made them narrower.

Using the Cricut Gypsy device I created a square with rounded corners and using Mickey Font Cartridge positioned the words Laser Tag round each edge. A black shadow background was created , the words laser tag were cut from black card four times and fixed into the spaces on the white square.

Happy Birthday was printed on the computer and cut and mounted onto black card and position coming out of the gun. Narrow strips of orange card  were fixed as straps to the gun.

The face was stamped on to the head part only using Sizzix faces stamps, this was stamped again onto white copier paper. The eye sections were cut out and glued to the head section, the head was fixed to the body using 3d foam to give a slight layered effect. The glasses were fixed to finish.
