Decorating Car with Vinyl for All Stars!

::Click here for latest Linking Party ~ we'd love to see your projects!::

My nephew made the All-Star baseball team again this year and it's a tradition in the community to decorate the windows of your vehicle to support your kid.  It's - a - very - big - deal!!!
Most of the people use paint but my sister just got a brand new Tahoe oh about 4-5 months ago and she said "no paint" so I put my Cricut machine and Gypsy to work. 
The decorated windows are seen from all (except windsheild) windows decorated to just the back glass - which my sister opted to do this year.  I think it turned out super cute.  


I designed everything in my Gypsy and then cut it out on my Cricut machine.

My sister ran into a RAIN shower on the way to my house -- and I wanted to show you HOW WELL the vinyl sticks on your vehicle even after getting wet.

● Flames on ball ~ Indie Art Solutions 

● WC for Washington County ~ Gypsy Font
● All Stars, Rylan & #13 ~ Mickey Font
● Stars ~ Baseball Solutions




This All-Star team has been playing together since 2009 (just a few changes) - HERE are the baseballs I painted for them.  You can see how they hang them on the fence during their game HERE a well as the first year I painted my sister's car.  In 2010 I used the Cricut Lite cartridge Varsity Letter to decorate her car ~ click HERE to see that.  

Here is my All-Star nephew Rylan!!  Go Boy!

I'm linking up to these parties this week....you should too....

*Crazy about You* Valentine Card featuring Smiley Cards -- #145

Hi everyone....sorry I've been MIA all week but I've been so busy with other "life" stuff and didn't have much time for crafting.  I was definitely having crafting withdrawls so I am happy I was able to spend some time in my craft room and whip up something for you.   :) 

I created this card using the Smiley Cards Cricut cartridge.  This cartridge is an Gypsy exclusive meaning it can't be purchased....it can only be downloaded onto your Gypsy in a digital download.  Click (here) to see if you qualify.  There is also the Smiley Cards handbook available (here).  Ü

Simple Gypsy Pumpkins & Video #46

Here is my first project showing you a very basic idea of what you can expect from the Gypsy (through my eyes of crafting). If you are unsure if you'd like to purchase a Gypsy, wondering if it is for you, then maybe I can shed a little light on some of your questions and hesitation. I absolutely love mine and it's become my "go to" gadget that the thought crossed my mind "how did I survive without my Gypsy???" LOL!

In this video tutorial I will show you a few pumpkins from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge, how they look on the Gypsy screen and how they cut on the cricut mat.

If you have additional questions - let me know.

Hugs,
Tracy

p.s. ~ I love reading all of your comments...thanks so much for letting me know you were here.






This is what it looks like on the mat....

Using the Gypsy for the First Time & Video #38

I received my Gypsy on 9/24/09 and wanted to capture my first reactions to how easy it was going to be to use it for the very first time. I hope this helps some of us who are brand new to the Gypsy and are interested in learning this new companion to creating with our Cricuts.

Hugs,
Tracy
