Sample card for Today's Gypsy Made Simple challenge

Hello everyone!! Happy Saturday!!
Today I am posting my take on Sheila's tri-fold card tutorial that she is sharing today over at She's a Sassy Lady .  She was so great and designed a tri-fold card for those who don't have the new Expression2. (There is a pre-loaded cartridge on the new E2 that has a tri-fold card feature on it.)  You can receive her Gypsy file for this card by visiting her blog and making any size donation to help the Alabama tornado victims. If you have never downloaded a file for your Gypsy, it is simply a file with all of the cuts already on the mats for you.  If you don't have the cartridges that she used in the original file, she also made one as a template so you can choose your own images from cartridges that you own! This is just so cool!! Be sure to head over to her blog and view her awesome videos that will show you how she made this file and to make a card of your own and link it to her post!

Now, on to my card!

This is the base cut out in kraft paper.

Here is the mouse in the present! So cute!

Here are both images assembled and ready to add to the base.

This is back layer. The stamp is from an upcoming Club Ruby kit.

My trademark stamp on the back.

The finished card partially open.

The finished card, all the way closed! So cute! 

You must go to She's a Sassy Lady today to get all the details to make your own version of this fun card! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I made a box to put a set of Valentine's cards in. I used a 12x12 piece of double-sided cardstock from K and Co. The cards are made with Kraft paper and are a 4x4 size. I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the fro...
