Cricut Thanksgiving Place Cards and Gypsy How Tos!

23 November
Monday, 23 November 2009 23:54 Written by Megan Elizabeth 27 Comments

Here is a great video showing how to use one of the new Gypsy updates.

Using multiple pages to layer your projects is such an awesome function to use and really takes your designs to a different level that is so much fun with the Gypsy.  I have spent many many hours playing with it and its SO fun!

Anyway, I show you that with this video and how I made these adorable Name Place Cards/Favors for the Thanksgiving meal.

In this Video:

  • Cricut Expression
  • Gypsy
  • Stamping Solutions Cartridge
  • Tim Holtz Distriss Inks
  • Fall In Love – My Mind’s Eye Paper
  • Best Occasions Textured Card Stock
  • Pop Dots
  • Baby Food Jars
  • ATG Gun
  • Some ribbon if you’d like ;)
  • And don’t forget the yummy M&M’s or Reese’s Pieces!  :)

Enjoy and I’ll have a Paisley Cartridge video up soon too!

    You are really making me want a Gypsy!

    Question:

    I noticed that you sometimes only press on the edge of the paper when you apply it to the mat…..
    Does it always hold well when you do that? And is that a new mat? Or a re-energized (reglued) one?

    I’m thankful I came across this new site.

    Great idea. One thing, could you also do the same project using the Cricut. I for one don’t have the Gypsy. Thanks a bunch.

    You absolutely can still just use your Cricut
    It’s just the Stamping solutions Cartridge using the Scalloped Frame the scallop frame in black out, 1″ circles and 1 1/4″ scallop circles and you are good to go!

    Have fun! I enjoy trying to show a little bit of everything – its’ hard with everyone having different things – you certainly don’t NEED the gypsy to still have tons of fun with your Cricut but I love showing and teaching those who do have the Gypsy how to better use it!
    Enjoy!!! :)
