I was asked by Kim over at Master Olive Studio’s to be a guest on her blog!!…I am so honored to be featured… you can find out lots of things you don’t know about me if you visit Kim’s blog this week… I have written a little about me for the first day, then on the second day and third day I answered a bunch of Kim’s questions….and the last day I sent her a how to video!… I wanted to make a very special card for Master Olive Studio because Kim made me feel so special.. I hope that Kim and you love my card. Thank you so much for looking… the video to this cards helps a lot with layering techniques. * Hugs,Jeannie

* Kim’s blog got deleted somehow…so when she gets her new website set up she will be featuring me…I will let you know when that happens… be sure and back up your blogs!!

There is now a link at the bottom of each post where you can show off your recreation of my cards… I would love it if you share your recreations with me! Thank you so, so much! Hugs

CRICUT & GYPSY
Life is a Beach
Palm tree and its layers cut @ h 4.41...set the width and the height will be right… I used the contour feature to remove some of the lines…see mat shot below… the removed cuts are in grey.… on the Cricut I would cut these @ 4 ½ inches 3 times.
Sailboat cut @ w 1.39 x h 1.52... On the Cricut I would cut this at 1 ½ inches.
Starfish cut, cut @ w 2.09 x h 1.82 two times...on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 ¾ inches.
Waves (2) (border cut) welded to George squares cut @ w 3.51 x h 0.85 inches… on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 inch and trim to the width that I needed then glue to a hand cut rectangles…one a bit taller than the other.
Beach Chair and its layer cut @ w 2.34 x h 2.11 ….. I used the contour feature to remove one of the chair layer pieces…that is in grey on the mat shot….on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 inches.
Doodle Charms
Sun cut @ w 3.33 x h 2.70.... on the Cricut I would cut this @ 2 3/4 inches.
George
Rectangles for the waves… you will need to unlink the width and height to get these sizes and set real dial size… Smaller rectangle cut @ w3.50 x h 2.61 Larger rectangle cut @ w 3.50 x h 2.81... Remember to set real dial size… Using the Cricut I would hand cut these both at width 3 ½ inches and the heights at 2 ½ inches and 2 ¾ inches.

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 love sharing the instructions and files for my cards but I do ask that if you use my instructions or files to recreate my card and place it on your blog or somebody else’s blog that you give me the credit for the original design. I also ask that you do not submit my designs for publication, profit or for any contest. Thank you!

Luv 2 Create said...

Luv your card style. One of the things I love the most about all of your cards, is the fact that you always finish the inside of the card as beautiful as the out. That really gives them such a professional look. Thanks for the cut files as well.
