Sesame Street Cards ~ "See" you next year!

I have been wanting to splice some character faces into cards ever since the option on Design Space became available and I finally got around to it...

I have a lot of fond memories of watching and learning from Sesame Street, so I thought I would start with them.  The process is a little tedious, but once they are spliced and sized, you can make 5 cards in 30-45 minutes!  I thought they would make a cute end of year teacher gift.

I also think they would make great "LOOK" cards.  For instance:

• Look who's turning "3"
• Look who made student of the week
• Look who got a promotion

I am including my Design Space file for easy recreation.

"C" is for Cookie

Hi Everyone! Today's post is a shape card I made from the cartridge Sesame Street Friends.

All cuts were designed on the gypsy at the following sizes:

• cookie shape @ 5.11 w


• cookie shape @ 5.11 w with the chocolate chips hidden using the hide/contour feature


• cookie top layer @ 4.81 w


• cookie monster shadow @ 2.02 w


• cookie monster @ 1.91 w


• sesame street sign @ 2.35 w


• sesame street sign @2.14 w

Once all the cuts were made (SU cardstock in Close to Cocoa, Crumb Cake, Pacific Point, Basic Black and Whisper White), I used the cuttlebug folder "swiss dots" to emboss the crumb cake top layer of the cookie. I also sponged the edge of the cookie base in Early Espresso for added dimension. The brads are SU from the bold brights collection. The font I used is from the internet called "cookie".

Once all the cuts were layered and adhered, I simply used red tape to stick the layered top cookie to it's "hide/contoured" base on the left side.

You can make a shape card virtually out of any shape using your gypsy. If there is a blackout cut, you don't even need to use the hide/contour feature for the base of the card. You can also weld the two shapes together after flipping your base as a third option.

Have fun creating!
