I was a bit fidgety watching TV last night so I got our my Gypsy to go through my cartridges....and see if I could come up with any ideas...I just got the new Sentimental cartridge the other day and I love, love the stamp cut on it... and had Valentines on my mind and looked at the Sweethearts cartridge, which I haven't used very much.... and decided laid this card out really quick without thinking much of it... when I decided on the papers I wanted to use today I got really excited!!!... its a simple card...but the papers and the Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder on the balloons, the "love", and the couple really set this card off.... I am really really happy with how it turned out!!... hope that you like it too!!...I prayed to God for some card ideas...I told him I really needed this for my mental health....and he has been so good to me the last couple of day...always...but the last couple of days with my cards.... So I want to give God the credit for these cards and say "Thank you God so much for what you do for me!".... thank you so much for looking!... Hugs, Jeannie

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!!... Thank you so much for looking!!... A special thank you to my card class ladies!!... Hugs, Jeannie

GYPSY HINT
When you are stacking shapes like I did in this card, behind the graduation cap, get the shape you want... make it the size you want for the largest piece... then duplicate that shape... click the button that makes, a shape smaller, 2 times... repeat this process for each piece until you have as many stacks as you want.
This will give you perfect intervals between shapes.
