Sunny Days (Panda Family)


Although I had fun painting the panda family, I realized that it can only be enjoyed by whoever visit my house, and even then only when they go to the kids' playroom. I decided to use the same layout for a card so that the receiver of this card may enjoy the panda family just as much. :)


This square tri-fold card measures 5.5" x 5.5" when fully folded. I used MTC to weld (and then flip) the pandas before further welding it with an oval for the card front. To make the card base, I welded the card front with two 5.5" x 5.5" squares for the remaining sides of the card.


The pandas are cut at 1.5", 2.5", and 3". The sun was cut at 1.5". The (Paper Pups) clouds are cut at 1". I used Sesame Street Font for the sentiment. I welded the letters and made a shadow layer using MTC. If you would like the MTC file for the card base, just let me know. I would need to clean up the file a little but I would be happy to share if there is interest. 

Have a great Monday and hopefully we all have mostly sunny days this week. :-)

Edit to add:

I've had several requests for the card base so here it is:

Panda Family Card Base (MTC required)


Just click on the link above and follow the directions to download the file. Please note that I used Make-The-Cut software to make the card base. You must have the program in order to open the cut file. It will not work in Cricut Design Studio.

When you open the cut file in MTC, you will be able to cut out the cardbase, the half-oval card front, and the 5.5" square for the second fold. The card base measures 16.5" when it is fully opened up so do make sure that you have a piece of cardstock that is long enough. All images are from the Create-A-Critter cartridge except for the clouds (Paper Pups) and sentiment (Sesame Street Font).



Please leave a comment to let me know if the download works (if you download the file) or if you have any other questions.

Enjoy! :-)
