Help--how to make Mickey balloons??????

[wdwmickey]

Can anyone tell me how to make Mickey shaped balloons on the cricut? Rachel discovered she was missing an element for the surprise swap & wants to make Mickey balloons.

We have CDS, SCAL, gypsy and tons of carts including one with a balloon shape and one with a Mickey head shape. Any ideas? TIA

I made a CDS file for the sketch swap. I'm at work, but can email it to you later tonight.

Ummm. what group is that for? I just want to make sure I will be getting it!!!!!!!!!

 

[wdwmickey]

I'm hoping to learn how to use all of my tools together. Of course that would require actually taking the time to read the manual & watch you tube videos

 

[morgansmom2000]

Nah! I'll send you the Gypsy and the CDS files. You can get them to work together by listening to me

It's the Disney patterned paper mini kit grab bag. Since you're hosting you get first choice you know

Oh...the blind draw one??? No...I'll do it fair and put it in the grab bag!!! Just keeping my fingers crossed!! I have been hoping for mickey balloon cut to pop up somewhere also!!

I've made them with Mickey Font & George. and with Mickey Font and Once Upon a Princess. I liked those the best. Just welded the hat onto the balloon. had to stretch the balloon at little to all match up. But turns out great.

[wdwmickey]

Done Thanks

 

[morgansmom2000]

Sent, let me know if you need any help with it.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Cheryl, did the file work for Rachel?

 

[wdwmickey]

Jennifer--sorry it was crazy busy here this weekend! For whatever reason the SCAL won't read the "cut" file & I was gonna try the gypsy file in just a little while. 'll let you know. Thanks

 

[morgansmom2000]

No worries, just curious. The .cut file is a Design Studio file, there wasn't a SCAL file. HTH.

 

[wdwmickey]

Well, duh (silly me). I haven't taken the time to load CDS on my new laptop. I'll do that this afternoon and then cut the balloons. Thanks again

No worries! Hope it works for you.

Jennifer--I loaded CDS, but, it won't validate the registration for some reason I was on hold with Provo craft for over 20 minutes before I gave up. The file opened fine with the "free" DCS I just can't cut it.

How do I get the file from the computer on to my gypsy? TIA

 

[morgansmom2000]

If you don't have it yet, you need to register and download the Gypsy Sync software, Gypsy. Once you have it downloaded, attach the G to the computer and open the software, there is a button that says "Upload file to Gypsy." Click that and navigate to the file and select it and hit open. That will load it on the G. Then exit the Gypsy Sync software and open the file.
