CHEERS! Using my NEW Smiley Cards!!!

Hiya friends! I got the update in my gypsy yesterday and this is my first creation using Smiley Cards. I LOVE this cartridge..SO CUTE! But for my beer, I didn't want it to be cutesy...So I hid the face that would cut otherwise. I ran the beer "foam" through the cuttlebug in the divine swirls folder. I used tea dye and vintage photo Tim Holtz Distress inks to mess it up a bit.
I ran the "mug" part through the cuttlebug in the distressed stripes folder. After that I saturated the paper with dazzle versamark ink...I then did a few coats of UTEE {ultra thick embossing enamel} to make the "glass". The dazzle ink makes it look like a frosted mug! It really looks cool in person! The sentiment is from the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun set from PinkByDesign. Ok, that's my card! I'm off to cut our stencils for our pumpkins!

CHEERS TO YOU!!!

p.s. Sorry for the weird lines in the photo's, that's just how the sun is coming through the door. ☺

  15. Nikki,

    I love this (wish I could have gotten my Gypsy in time...hopefully, for Christmas)!!! I think it was a good idea to hide the face-lol! And you picked the perfect Cuttlebug embossing folders!

    Thanks for sharing,
