It is probably hard to read the sentiment but it says
"Just remember, once you are over the hill you begin to pick up speed" which I thought was totally appropriate and rather genius of me to use *okie sighs and wonders when she will ever convince everyone she is a genius*. I just wish I would have set the font larger *okie realizes maybe she isn't quite the genius she believes herself to be and hopes no one notices*.All the cuts are from Hello Kitty Greetings. The patterned paper is DCWV Spring stack from a few years ago *okie thinks she should have used copy and paste from yesterday for that*. I did add some Diamond Stickles to the sun and the headlight of the car.
I did do quite a bit of faux stitching on this one *okie thinks she might
have on yesterday's card too and tries to think, but then decides not to bruise her brain and stops thinking*. One little trick for this one that I will share is that for the small cuts of the sleeve, headlight, steering wheel and hub caps I used white paper and then colored with my Stampin Up markers. It seemed just a bit easier to do it that way than cut them multiple times or hide contour so many times.*okie starts to leave the blog, still cracking up about that darn Toonces and realizes she forgot something*
OOHHH!! Yes...if you would like to make yesterday and today's cards you can download the .cut file or Gypsy file below.

Cool idea about cutting the smaller cuts with white and then coloring them with markers. Hmmmmm....I think you are a genius!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card! Love this! Great idea on using your markers. I sometimes hate trying to get the small cuts just right and all the work involved. TFS

These cards are sooooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteMy Granddaughters will love these.
Thanks Okie for sharing your files.
You are hilarious! I loved Toonces. Definitely more than Hello Kitty since she is such a goody two shoes. But I still bought the carts! So thank you for the gypsy file!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea about the smaller cuts! It certainly would save me tons of time doing it that way! :o) The card is ADORABLE! And I too remember the SNL Cat you are referring too! Gotta LOVE SNL! :O)
ReplyDeleteAnother great card! I enjoy seeing all of your fabulous creations.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about cutting smaller pieces in white and coloring them. What a great idea. :)
Love your card!
ReplyDeleteYou are having a ball with this Hello Kitty cart! The cards are simply adorable! Love the patterned paper that you used.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable card!

ReplyDeleteI love your post...
ReplyDeleteyou've made me smile :D
You're a genius :P
Your card is super cute!!!
have a great Sunday, hugs Anja
Wow, what a blast from the past with your SNL reference - crack me up!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on coloring those small parts.
I don't have that cart but I love the sentiment. Would you mind if I lift it for my DH's 50th coming up? Where are you getting all your sentiments? I loved the Pooh ones too (I know those were Pooh quotes-great matching them with your characters!)
ReplyDeleteI don't know nuttin' 'bout no Toonces, but I do know you are a genius ... haven't I been commenting on your "big brain" for some time now? (((*wink*)))
ReplyDeleteGeezzzz ... I need a plaid car, I know I would be one "hot" babe sporting that around town. Hmmmm, now I am suddenly wondering why they don't make patterned cars. Flowers, polka-dots, stripes, plaids ... wouldn't that be a sea of loveliness on the highways? Well, OK ... maybe not! But I'll bet that thought has you shaking your head, doesn't it?
=)
Hugz,

So very cute Okie. I think this is another hard cartridge. I have to give it more time. I like your tip of cutting in white and coloring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great card and a giggle.
Dear Okie Queen, you continue to crack me up. Thank you once again for the smiles and inspiration.

Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in Creative Busy Hands Cricut Freebies Search List, under the Boy/Prince, Girl/Princess, Babies, Children, Character(s) Theme post on Aug. 29, 2010. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteReally adorable! I use that cut a lot - it reminds me of my VW bug. I never thought of HK being like Toonces, but that cracks me up too. Hope she doesn't go over a cliff.
ReplyDeleteOooo!!! Okie - I really reallly REALLLY like this! Actually gave me the perfect inspiration for a card I need! So cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card! I've been wanting that cart for over a year but couldn't see that I would use it that often since I don't have any girls. So I just watch and see what others do. You did a great job!
