A Day of Firsts! (and Cricut Cardz Challenge #58)

My Gypsy and Design Studio software were delivered on Tuesday, so I thought I'd put it to use. Here is the first card I've made using Design Studio and then transferring to the Gypsy to cut. It's also the first card I've designed on my own without following a design already created in the Cricut booklets. I used white cardstock from the Paper Company for the A2 base. The blue background was cut from the DCWV matstack called the immortal love. I used the snowflake Cuttlebug folder to dry emboss and then sanded the surface so the white core would show thru. The white snowman and the red trim were also from this matstack. The polka dot hat, carrot nose and brown snowman base were all from cardstock I've had for a while. The snowman (cut at 3 1/2") and Brrr! are from Winter Frolic, the Happy Day is from Gypsy font. The ribbon is Offray Straight and Narrow that I picked up from Michaels. I'm really happy with the way this turned out. I submitted this to the CricutCardzChallenge #58, to see more click Here.Thanks for stopping by.
