Birthday Wishes to Kira


A special card request from a young girl who celebrates her birthday at the beginning of the school year. The request was to have the school name on the card and a girl in school uniform.

Firstly I checked the uniform colour and style for the little girl and then looked on my Cricut cartridges for a school image.

Using the Cricut Gypsy device I selected the school image and added the name of the school in the roof section of the building. The building was cut out of green, white and brown card. The white words were added into the green roof section and fixed using double sided tape to the brown cut piece. The windows were cut from the white section and glued to the brown piece also to add more detail. Part of the building (the steps) were cut again from a darker brown card to create the step section (using the hide option on the Gypsy device to reduce the cut pieces).

The grass sections were cut using the Sizzix Decorative strip die.

The little girl was cut using the Cricut Every Day Doll cartridge. The face was stamped using Sizzix face stamps. The face was stamped again onto white card and the eye sections cut out and glued to the cut face shape.

A personalised message was printed and matted onto green card

All the pieces were fixed to a white square card matted onto a 6" x 6" base card.
