I have designed several cards with the Pumpkin Carving seasonal mini cartridge. Here is a peek at another card - this time with an added liner page to highlight the cut out areas. At first glance this cartridge seems to be fairly limited in the ways it can be used. However, with a little Design Studio or Gypsy magic you can do a lot more with the fifty images than merely make simple cuts.
Here are the first 25 images on the cartridge.
The second 25 images include four interestingly shaped pumpkins.
When you choose an image and hide the outer line of the design you can create a card with a cut out (on the right side above) instead of cutting an image to adhere to a card or other project (on the left).
I used this technique to create the first version of the card I shared a few days ago. If you combine one of the images with words with an image of an object you can create a card front with both a sentiment and a Halloween shape that will be fun to decorate.
There are some tricks and tips that I want to share with you about the steps you need to take to create these cards. I will have to wait until tomorrow to do that since I had a long drive home today and I need to "regroup" and take a few more photos.
Once you get started experimenting with this idea you will find all sorts of interesting possibilities! Stay tuned for part two....

Awesome cards! Thanks for the tips about hiding the outer line to use the images differently. I've got that cart and can't wait to use it in my Granddaughter's halloween layouts! :)
