I am so excited about this card.. I got to use a new product by Cri-Kits …their cool pens… I have a picture of below!!…that you can use with your Cricut to write or draw anything that you can cut…and the Gypsy makes it so so easy to put all these in just the right place!!… I can’t wait to try out new things!!…I have ideas flowing in my head!!…and later this week…Friday I am hoping …I get to give away 42 of these pens along with the housing that holds the pens!!… how exciting is that!!

I made this card for my sweet son-in-law Cory…his birthday is July 4th…now I have to Priority Mail the card…because I was waiting on my pens to make this card… Once I laid out this card for him... I didn't want him to make another one... this one just seemed so much like a card he would like!! I so hope he loves this card.

CRICUT, GYPSY & CRI-KITS ( I love my Cri-Kits)

Layer One (for this file on my Gypsy)

George

Square .. For template.. w 3.75 x h 5.0 .. I did hide contour with this cut…and just laid my paper cutter pieces on the correct place on the mat to …this way I knew exactly where to lay out the pieces I was going to draw on my paper...using the Cricut you would need to cut these pieces out the right size and place them on your mat.

Tiny Rectangles…. Cut @ w 0.15 x h 0.23..there are tons of these… I used my Silver Metallic Cri-Kits pen to draw these on my mat. … Using my Cricut I would cut/draw these at h ¼ inches… move the ink pen over where I wanted each of these drawn. You will have to draw them one at a time if you use just your Cricut.

Robotz

Happy B-Day letters cut @ h 0.62...set the height and the width will be right on all letters…Using the Cricut I would cut/draw these at ½ and inch.. I would cut each letter one at a time…moving the cursor where I wanted the next letter to start..this will take practice.

Human letters cut @ h 0.54 set the height and the width will be right on all the letters… .. using the Cricut I would cut each letter one at a time…moving the cursor where I wanted the next letter to start..this will take practice.

Layer 2 (for this file on my Gypsy... use a different mat)

Robotz

Robot and all its layers cut @ h 5.33...set the height and the width will be right on all the cuts… on the Cricut I would cut these out @ 5 ¼ inches.

Card base is 4 ¼ x 5 ½, Frame Piece 4 x 5 ¼ , Background piece 3 3/4 x 5… these cuts are on the inside and outsides of my cards… Sentiment piece 2 ¾ x 4 inside only….. I cut all of these with my paper trimmer

This card is the card I made for the BBTB2 Design Team Challenge for this week… we were to use the Genie lamp from Paper Doll Dress Up… I thought and I thought and I though about what I wanted to do with this cut …. Then I thought of my Robtoz cartridge and knew what I wanted to do…. I was so excited with the background paper that I computer generated… I felt like it was the perfect touch for the colors. Thank you so much for looking…be sure and check out what the other DT Members came up with over at BBTB2. Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Robtoz

Robot dog and all it’s layers cut @ w 2.70 x h 3.79...on the Cricut I would cut these at 3 3/4 inches.

I’d Wish cut @ h 0.41..set the height and the width will be right on all the letters…I welded these letters together….. on the Cricut I would cut these @ ¼ or ½ an inch they don’t have to be welded so this will work fine on the Cricut without the Gypsy.

Paper Doll Dress Up

Genie Lamp cut @ w 1.67 x h 2.41 … on the Cricut I would cut this at 2 ¼ inches.

Create A Critter

Clouds cut @ w 2.14 x h 2.26 …on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 1/4 inches.

Card base is 4 ¼ x 5 ½, Frame piece 4 x 5 ¼ , Background piece 3 ½ x 4 ½ … these cuts are on the inside and outsides of my cards… Sentiment piece 2 ¾ x 4 inside only….. I cut all of these with my paper trimmer.

This is my daughter's birthday card... she and her dad are in PC Florida this week...they go together ever year... (I can't get in the sun because of my Lupus and my son is at camp all summer).. they love the beach... my son and I go to Gatlinburg ever spring break...we love the mountains.  Anyway they are at the beach and Robby said Madison had been talking about sea monsters...I imagine that talk all got started because of the oil spill.. Madison's birthday is June 30th... so I knew just what kind of card I was making her this year...I so hope that she loves it!! Thank you so much for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Mini Monster

Sea Monster and all its layers cut @ h 2.06 set the height and the width will be right... on the Cricut I would cut this @ 2 inches.

Life is a Beach

Wave borders (3) cut @ w 3.50 x h 0.69 on real dial size!  each of these borders are welded to different height rectangle cuts.... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 3/4 and inch...I would trim this do to the width I need... you may have to cut two per layer and overlap them...glue them together and trim to a width of 3 1/2 inches.

George (unlink you width and height for these cuts)

Wave Rectangles...all are cut @ w 3.50.. here are the heights for each tall wave rectangle h 2.82, medium wave rectangle h 2.61 and small wave rectangle h 2.34... cut all these cuts on real dial size.... these are each welded to the wave cuts listed above ...see mat shot... using the Cricut I would cut these with a paper trimmer...

George (unlink your width and height for these cuts)

Sand cut two  welded oval  cut @ w 1.67 x h 2.20...non welded oval cut @ w 1.40 x h 2.10.  Rectangle cut @ w 3.50 x h 1.60... small rectangle on the side...not welded cut @ 3 0.30 x h 1.0  ... Using the Cricut I would cut a rectangle 3 1/2 inches x 4 inches...then I would use a wave cuter to cut the wave across the top of the cut.

Create a Critter

Happy Birthday cut @ w 2.69 x h 1.35...make sure that real dial size is not set and that your link button is yellow for this cut... on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 1/4 inch.

The bottom wave is adhered directly to the background piece...then the sea monster's tail is adhered to that... pop dot the middle wave from that...and the top wave is pop dotted from the middle wave... adhere the sand (after you have added the happy birthday, and glitter) to the top wave... adhere the sea monster's head to the water above the wave.

Card base is 4 ¼ x 5 ½, Frame Piece 4 x 5 ¼ , Background piece 3 ½ x 4 ¾… these cuts are on the inside and outsides of my cards… Sentiment piece 2 ¾ x 4 inside only….. I cut all of these with my paper trimmer.

I just have to tell you this card stumped me all week long… all week!!… I have been frozen about making this card and it has kept me from making a card all week long!!… it is the first time that I used mini monsters.. Which I love!! And I just let these little fellows get the best of me…. I do suggest that you cut a couple of these out in larger sizes to practice on, it will get it all clear in your head and be less intimidating!.. They really aren’t hard… once you make one for the first time.

This card is for my dear husband for Father’s Day…I hand did the inside to remind him of when our grown up kids were just little kids…I so hope that he loves it.

Mini Monsters

The word “Monsters.” its shadow cut and its layer cut  cut @ w 4.59 x h 1.99...to get this measurement you will have to unlink the width and height… weld the shadow cut of the Monsters to the shadow cut of the word monster… see mat shot below.

This is my BBTB2 Design Team card for this week… we were to use the fish cut from Campin Out. All I could think of was my niece, Katy fishing with her daddy one day a few years back and stopped by where I worked at the time to tell me about the fish she caught. Her hands were spread out wide, really wide. Her daddy stood behind her with his fish much, much closer together. It so made me smile! So this card was inspired by Katy! Love you Katy… be sure and stop by The Bug and see what all the designers have come up with this week!  Thanks for looking! Hugs, Jeannie
