This week at Papercraft Star the design team was asked to use "circles" in their project. Well I wasn't sure what I was going to do with Circles. Then I was playing with my Gypsy and this is what I came up with .....
I just saw the gumball machine and it all came to me after that. This card would be perfect for a little kid's birthday.
I do all of my projects either in DS or on the Gypsy first so that I can cut everything out at one time. Well one of the best things on these programs is the "hide selected contour". I was able to put the gumball machine on the mat and hide all of the cuts except for the gumballs. I then copied the image (with the contours hidden) and put 7 of them on the mat and put my color squares on there and didn't have to waste paper cutting the gumball machine 7 times.
Now hop on over to the Papercraft Star Blog and show us what you did with Circles.
