Mario & Luigi

A request this time for a Mario and Luigi card for a special boys birthday.

Using Cricut Paperdolls and Everyday cartridges, the Cricut Create, Cricut Expressions and the Gypsy.

Mario was cut as a normal body shape on the cartridge , Luigi being a thinner character was modified on the Gypsy device along with his clothes - the width was reduced. The hats were on the cartridge but again using the Gypsy a circle was added and an initial for each character. Additional circles were cut from the flesh card as they have button like noses.

The finishing line banner was created using the Cricut Gypsy and cut from both white and black cardstock , the black letters and details were then fixed into the white section, when completed it was mounted onto black card. The road was cut from grey card by hand and two strips cut of black and white card to create the edging of the track.

The Car was created using Decals cartridge that was preloaded on the Expression machine, I cut the car shape in black and red card and modified the red section by hand to fix over the black. A black circle was added to represent the steering wheel and using the Gypsy devise the 4 disc was created. The blue bumper section was create by hand.

Two further head sections were created to add detail to the back of the card.
