I took a break from scrapbooking today in order to make 40 invitations for my son's upcoming birthday party. We're going with an Angry Birds theme, so I made circle cards that look like the red Angry Bird. It was a lot of work, so I decided to count it as my LOAD for today. It's actually a COAD, but hopefully you won't count that against me. I was inspired by
this card by Tracey Sanders, but I added the white tummy and made my dimensions a little different.
Here are the details on how to create this card using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge:
• Cut the card base in red using "Circle1"
and the card function, 4" (p.21 in booklet).
• Cut the crest using in black using "Accent"
and the shift lock function, 2" (p.32 in booklet). Cut the extra pieces off the bottom of the flourish.
• Cut the eye bases and the eyebrows in black using "Circle1"
, 1.25" (p.21 in booklet). Cut three. Cut one circle in half to use for eyebrows.
• Cut the whites of the eyes in white using "
Circle1", 1" (p.21 in booklet). Cut two.
• Cut the beak in yellow using "Petal1"
and the shift lock function, 1.5" (p.65 in booklet).
• Cut the tummy in white using "Oval1"
, 1.25' (p.22 in booklet). You will have to trim off part of the oval once you adhere it so that it follows the curve of the circle card.
• Punch the eyeballs out using a half inch circle punch.
That's it. Just assemble your pieces, and you have a cute Angry Bird to give to your favorite kid. Have fun!
