I do like this one better than yesterday's card, but it is still not on my "love's it" list.I do like the sentiment for this one and it reads "The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. ~Lucille Ball". I just thought it was a fun sentiment for this card. I did the sentiment in Hallmark Studio so I was able to add an orange balloon behind the sentiment to tie it to the front of the card. I was on the phone with my friend Carol, aka Carol with two hearts, when I found this sentiment and she said she loved it also...of course that meant I had to use it!
The patterned paper is a sheet of Little Yellow Bicycle double sided Zinnia. I got it at
the Great American Scrapbook convention when I went to Arlington Texas in June. I was able to get a pizza box full of paper for $20. My only regret is that I didn't get another box full! My friend Linda, aka LGuild..aka my partner in crime, are looking forward to going back next year!I did a straight stitch down the purple strip and then curled the edges up slightly. The border punch is a Martha Stewart punch.
I will tell you that I hand snipped some of the tiny pieces on the bow because it pretty much just put a hole in the paper because the cut was so small. Oh and for her nose I used Liquid Pearls, which was much easier than trying to use the nose that it cut.
Again the cut was pop dotted because you
know how I love dimension! I actually do like the colors on this one and I think the patterns of the paper give it a sophisticated look but yet the balloon adds some whimsy.Here are the files for yesterday and today's cards. It might be necessary to go in do "hide contour" on some of the cuts if they are overlapping. Sometimes the hide contour saves for me and sometimes it doesn't. So be sure to check and see if there are overlapping cuts.

Well this wraps up the Hello Kitty series! Tomorrow I will be starting a very short series of cards featuring.....oh come on guys!! You know I am not going to tell you!!!! *okie falls out chair laughing*
Okie I didn't need to know about the yellow bicycle paper, really I didn't.
ReplyDeleteLove the card! I'm going to miss the hello kitty series, maybe there can be a part II. But I'm excited about seeing the new series :D. TFS!
Very cute card. Luv Hello Kitty Cart. With 4 grand-
ReplyDeletedaughters I use it alot. Thanks for sharing
just LOVE the hello kitty cards you have made! She is just tooo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI just looked through all of the Hello Kitty cards - what fun! I have been inspired to pull out my neglected cartridge and make some Hello Kitty "stuff" for my friends.
ReplyDeleteI read what you said about the hide contour not always saving for you - in typical "evil twin thinking about the same thing" fashion (for anyone who doesn't know, Okie and Capadia are secretly twins!) I posted about this last night and have a tutorial on my blog about how to deal with the problem so you won't have to remember to check and re-hide lines.
I hope you don't mind me giving the LINK TO THE POST here for anyone who wants help with this problem (Cap knows Okie will just delete this if she minds!)
I have loved the Hello Kitty series, she is so stinking cute, just have to smile. The paper on this cart is so pretty. The Hallmark you talk about, is that a CD and do you get the quotes from there?

This one is really great! I like the colors & design of that paper. I also have that problem with the kitty bows (or else I lose the tiny piece!)
ReplyDeleteOkieeeeee I want to thank you for sharing those great hello kitty files. I do love the cards you made with them.

This is so cute! I downloaded your gypsy files. They downloaded fine. But they will not open on the gypsy. It shows nothing on the preview window and then it gives a error sign on all of them when you try to open them.
