I created a birthday card for my 17 year old son.  I started out with my Gypsy and Gypsy Wandering.

I found this tag shape from Gypsy Wandering and put two on my mat sized to 4 inches.  I used Hide Contour to hide the inside cut of the tag on the left, then I welded them together to create my card base.

I took the shadow of the 17 from Something to Celebrate sized to 3 inches and welded them into the center of the cut out.  I placed the regular 17 sized to 3 inches on my mat.  I copied the regular 17 and scootched it off the mat so I could cut out just the flames.

Here is a close up of the welded window card.

I ended up cutting out the card base in white cardstock.  I cut a second card base in this baseball paper (I printed and cut it out using my Imagine a long time ago and did not use it) and trimmed it in half to cover just the front of the card.  I cut out the numbers in PLSHS paper ~ this is my son's high school colors and acronym.  I cut out the flames in yellow cardstock.

I put it all together for him just in time for his birthday and baseball season!!
