Today, I have a card that I made for the Bitten By the Bug challenge. This week we were supposed to make something with a cow, moon, or both. I chose a swing card, moon, and star insert from the Close To My heart Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge. Then, I added a cow (trimmed off the longhorns) from YeeHaw. The grass was made using a die that I own with my cuttlebug.
If you have an Explore here is the file ==> Cow Jumped Over the Moon card file
If not, here are the handbook pages, so you can remake it on other machines.
I used the Hide/Contour feature to get rid of the deer and the snowflake.
Now, I know that the size seems huge and you are wondering how to cut just the moon. To do this, you will have to use Cricut Craft Room or Design Space and the Hide/Contour feature. I do the hide contour part first and then size it large. That way I don't have a huge card on my mat.
I just made my own sentiment with the font stamps that comes with the Artfully Sent cartridge.
