Hi everyone, I was super excited to show you my Gypsy by doing my first Gypsy video.  It was going to be how to make a Halloween card using Paper Doll Dress Up cricut cartridge.  I did the video, created the file on my gypsy.  Hooked up my gypsy and uh ohhh.  All that cut was the eyes of the card.  It turns out that there is an issue with the Gypsy welding when you flip an image.  In order for the card to align properly the black out side of the card must be flipped and of course to have a card it needs to be welded together.  Well, since that did not work out, I just made the file in DS.  I thought that I would post the video of how to make the card as a blooper video since what I show in  the video does not actually work.  It does show the Gypsy and how user friendly it is.  I know the first release has some issues and that is okay with me. I am still loving it.

Here is the video, and just to point out one more time, this currently will not work on the Gypsy.

I wanted to make this cute ghost card for Halloween.  I cut it out in white card stock.  I used the ghost from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.  I welded the card in Design Studio.  Ran it through the Xyron Machine and then poured Martha Stewart Crystal Fine on it.  I rubbed and pressed it into the card and then shook off the excess.  I wanted the eyes to stand out a bit so I used a Fantastix stick and dipped it in black ink and gently went around the inside of the eyes.  The ghost sparkles but the Crystal Fine does not come off.  I have some orange and black crystals and Halloween ribbon that I thought that I would use to embellish the card a bit.  I decided not to because I think that he looks pretty good just like he is.  Sometimes a ghost, is just a ghost.  I took a few pictures and they did not really show the card well so I thought that I see if it would turn out better in a little video.
