This card is for my card class....I am so so enjoying this class...it is just too much fun.... I have the sweetest group of ladies that are there and they just make my week.... they are learning lots... now that they all have Gypsies we put the card we make that week on their Gypsy so they can go home and repeat the card if they want.... I can't wait until one of them calls me and says "I cut out my card!!"... I will just be too excited... Since not everybody has the same carts I am making something from the Gypsy Wanderings and Gypsy Font cartridges for a few weeks while they are getting the hang of things so they CAN go home and use their Gypsy... this is the card I came up with for this week...when I saw the shoe cut out in the oval scallop this card just popped right into my head... I got to use a new technique I learned too from Christmas With The Cricut... on a cut out...like with the shoe...you just take clear packing tape... stick to the back over the cutout...turn it over and sprinkle glitter on the cutout...and it stick to the tape....so quick and easy...and so effective!!...

Fabulous Finds

Circle card pieces are all cut @ h 3.12 set the height and the width will be right...the two cuts without the offset circle hole are the shadow cuts - on the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 1/4 inches.

Wedding

Toasting Glasses cut @ h 1 inch for both cuts...the width will be right if you set the height on both these cuts..one is the shadow cut one is the regular cut - on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 inch.

Learning Curve

(I love these letters!)

Numbers and their shadows cut @ h 0.92 the width will be right if you set the height on these ... as you can see in the screen shot I welded these together - on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 inch you could make this without welding the numbers.

Alphalicious

Astrix cut @ h 1.o inches - on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 inch.

Mom In Hospital Again

I was at Wanda's the other day...she had instructions on how to make this adorable little elf with punches from Stampin-Up... they were just adorable... but you know me... I am a Cricut person through and through!!..so I had to get out my Gypsy and make one on the same principal but with my Cricut cartridges... I was excited with how it turned out... if I make it again I will weld the collar piece to the "card" card piece so it will stand up right... I hope you like it... thank you so much for looking.   Hugs and Merry Christmas, Jeannie

CRICUT  & GYPSY

Storybook

Bookplate Shapes cut @ w2.80 x h 4.o ...On the Cricut I would cut this at 4 inches.

I also cut an extra bookplate shape for the inside of the card...this is cut @ w 2.43 x h 3.47 ...on the Cricut I would cut this piece at 3 3/4 inches.

Pooh &Friends

Santa Hat and its layers cut @  h 3.o the width will be right if you set the height...on the Cricut I would cut this @ 3 inches (I think).

Paper Doll Dress Up

Hair cut @ w 3.27 x h 4.54... you will have to unlink the width and height to get the size.... On the Cricut I am not sure what to cut this at because I stretched it both way on my Gypsy.

George

Triangles for collar cut @ w 2.32 x h 0.81..I again unlinked the width and height to get this shape and welded the shapes together... using the Cricut you could use 2 ovals for the collar.

Ovals for eyes cut @ w 0.59 x h 1.11 I cut the skin colored one in half...on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 inch or maybe 1 1/4 inches.

Circles for eyes (which look like diamonds in the picture) cut @ w o.54 x h 0.51... on the Cricut I would cute these at 1/2 inch.

Circle for nose cut @ w ).49 x h 0.45 ... on the Cricut I would cut this @ 3/4 and inch.

Hearts for ears cut @ w 1.66 x h 1.30 and welded to the Bookplate shape ... on the Cricut I would cut the hearts @ 1 1/4 inch you will just need one cut in half and glued from the back.

For the card shape I welded the hearts to the book plate cut then grouped and duplicated this and flipped the duplicated piece up and placed it just overlapping to make the card.

If using the Cricut I would cut an extra bookplate and score it 1/2 inch from the top..and only adhear it above the score line to make a card.

All images in red are welded.

Thanks

My dear friend, Wanda called today...asked me to design her a thank you card.... I wanted it to be special because she is so very special... keep her in your prayers she is very sick and needs your prayers... this is the card I came up with... I hope that she likes it.... I am going to have to run to Hobby Lobby and make sure I can find her these papers... if I can't its back to the Gypsy drawing board to design another... thank you so much for looking!!... and remember to keep Wanda in your prayers.  Hugs, Jeannie

Noel (Shaped Card) for The Gypsy Spot

Designed by Jeannie Phillips - Southside, AL

Over at The Gypsy Spot this week we were to design a Christmas Card... this was in my head a couple of days and I was really excited when it turned out right "in" paper.... I must admit it did take me some time to get everything in all the layers lined up just right...but the effort was worth it.... I used the page feature on this card to line everything up just right...to get the photos of each page all I had to do was use the "eye" feature on the Gypsy that shows how the page is going to cut...although the inside "looks" really simple... it was a little complicated when I was creating it so I am extra proud of the inside... Be sure and hop on over to The Gypsy Spot and see what the other Design Team members have created this week... I am just so excited!... Thank you so much for looking!... Merry Christmas Everybody!!... Hugs, Jeannie
