Happy Haunting Mesh Card

I made this card from the same mesh as my LAYOUT.  I used Pumpkin Carving to create this mesh.
I used the Happy Haunting from Pumpkin Carving.  I hid the square around it because I just wanted the words. 

Here is my Gypsy screen with the two meshes.  I created one mesh first then copied and resized the second one.  I welded the first row together, then welded the second row to the first and then repeated.  I find my pieces weld better if I weld in sections rather than all at once.

Another hint ~ save your work before you start to kern.  If you mess something up, you have a starting point.  As I weld each part, I save again.
Below are my test cuts.  I used black cardstock from Michaels ~ the value pack 12x12.  I used a new  blade and a sticky mat (as opposed to some of my older, less sticky ones).

Here is the finished card once again.

  1. Hi, Lori! You are great at doing these mesh-type cards. This is a wonderful card!!! I often have problems cutting meshes when I do them -- you seem to never have this problem.
