Guess What......

I USED THE GYPSY! Yep you heard me. I used the Gypsy! While I was on my road trip this past weekend I took my Gypsy with me thinking I might be able to try and get use to it. Well I was able to use it but not too much because I found it using the Gypsy while in the car makes me feel the same as reading does....sick to my stomach! *okie closes eyes and shakes head remembering the feeling*

BUT...the important thing to remember here is that I did use IT! I do have to admit I liked the feature of being able to hide contour and then copy the image and the contour still be hidden.

I chose to go with some cuts from the Cricut Lite cartridge Lovely Floral. While I am not sure I like the papers I do like the concept *okie thinks she says that way too much*.

The paper I used is Stampin Up!, except the polka dot and that is some scrap I had.




On this close up picture you can see where I did use a hot fix gem for the eye of the bird and you can also see the doodling I did to the images.

I am hoping that one day I can feel about my Gypsy that so many others feel about theirs. But for right now....I still LOVE my Design Studio!

  1. Way to go Okie!! But, I'm with you - I have started to use my Gypsy more, but I do have trouble seeing the images even with the "zoom" capability. BUT I DO LOVE THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GO FIND THE CART!!! I still use my DS more often and I also use SCAL2 -- and I don't use the Cricut as often as I should! But I'm like you - I'm getting there! LOL!

  5. Love this card, all the details make it so special! I'm with you, love DS trying to use Gypsy more, the copy and paste with contour is great, I can't seem to get the copy and paste to work on DS with grouping!!! Can you?

  6. Well... I don't own a Gypsy... Kind of glad I don't.. I don't travel and I prefer a bigger screen for seeing... My DS works perfectly with my 24" monitor..... Soooo unless they make a huge screen for the Gypsy... I think I'll stick with my DS! LOL Your card came out wonderful Okie! I love all the sewing on the card... even the faux stitching looks great! Cute bird! :o)

  11. Cute card, love the little bird and mushroom! I don't have DS but do have the gypsy. I like the gypsy but I do understand it takes some getting used to. Wish there was a bigger monitor and now that I have the Imagine, it makes me wish the gypsy was in color too.
