Hello Gazelle Lovers,
Kenya here to share an adorable baby card with you. I don't
know about you, but spring equates to baby announcements like no other time of
year for me! I know at least four people who are due this summer! I guess I
know what I will be doing! This is a 6x6" card which is not a typical size
for me. However, babies are special so I had to do something differently.
For this card, I used
the banner, bottle and rattle. I am pleased with how well
the detail cut on the Gazelle despite the size. I mean the
cuts are approximately 1" so that makes the detailed cuts less than an
eighth of an inch! Take it slow and easy. I did a speed of 2 since it was more
detailed. Although the speed is slower, I am always amazed at how fast slow is!
If you are new to the Gazelle but not electronic cutters, you will know what I
mean ;) and you too will not believe your project cut so quickly; even on low!
I do have a small vent and warning. Look twice and stamp
once! Ok, I used a set of stamps that I have not used in over a year. I
couldn't remember why it has been so long since I used the set until I was in
too deep. I had already stamped the C, U and T so when it was time to stamp the
E, I realized the rubber had fell off the wood mount. I searched frantically to
no avail. I had to make a decision. Either I scrapped the banner idea or I had
to get creative. I went with the latter. I searched all of my stamps to find a
similar style font. It is not a perfect match. However, I had to do what I had
to do! Hey, what can I say? Crafters are just that; CRAFTY!! Remember to check
your stamps BEFORE you begin stamping!
To finish embellishing the card, I cut the image from the
paper collection. I also added a doily to fill in the card. I also stamped the
little foot print and added Glass Effects to give it a button effect without
the added bulk.
I hope you enjoyed today's project. Don't forget to stop by bosskut.com
