CRICUT & GYPSY

Once Upon a Princess tag cut is the frame for the thanks… and it layer cut @ h 3.35...set the height and the width will be right…. … I put the oval layer over the tag cut to make the whole in the center, then I cut out an extra frame piece in cream… on the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 ¼ inches.… you can use your center point feature to get the whole in the tag cut.

I have several cards that I need to make… I had a really special birthday and I have some people to thank!… this is the first of my thank you cards…. I won’t mention who its for so maybe they will be a bit surprised when it arrives!… I got to try out my new Sugar and Spice cartridge on this card… and the tags feature on the Once Upon a Princess is priceless… that cartridge is now my go to when I need a place to put text!!… if you haven’t noticed it has a tag feature…then you hit sift and these two pieced work together to make a beautiful tag… I duplicated the circle that was the center of this cut and tapped the circle on my Gypsy, the one that makes images larger, a couple of times so I could add a little more color. I sure hope that you like this… I hope that my sweet friend… oops I almost said it… likes it too….

Freshly Picked

Frame Cut …. On the shift key… cut @ w 4.91 x h 3.50 you will have to unlink the width and height to get this size….I cut 2 of these and welded the shadow of “Katy: to one and the ice cream cone shadows and the ladybug shadow to the other.

Ice Cream cones, its layers, and it’s shadow cut @ h 1.55 set the height and the widths will be right on all the cuts..… on the layer cut I used the hide contour feature to hide the cherries on one set and the ice cream on the other.. So I could have chocolate ice cream and then pink cherries.

This card is for my dear husband his birthday is Friday…. I got this one in under the wire…when I saw the garden gnomes I knew I would make him a card with one of them… he loves them… when we go to Hobby Lobby in the spring he always looks a them… so I think he will just love this card… I sure hope so!!

CRICUT & GYPSY

Freshly Picked

Frames (3) cut @ w 4.91 x h 3.50.. I cut two plain and one with the mushroom…the mushroom that cut out I used on the inside of the card… to fill the space I just hand cut a square and placed behind the mushroom…then added its little pieces.. I did the same thing to fill in the spaces on the mushroom on the inside of the card… on the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 ½ inches.

Gnome and it’s layers cut @ h 3.89.. Set the height and the width will be right… the shadow cut is welded to the hole in the one of the frame pieces so you will have a place to adhere the gnome to the square….. on the Cricut I would cute these @ 3 3/4 inches.

* I wanted to draw the face on so I use the hide contour feature to hid the face features on the layer with the hands and legs… and on the layer with the belt and pants I used the hide contour feature to hide the face.

Create A Critter

Happy Birthday cut @ w 1.99 x h 1.00... This cut out beautifully at that size!!.. On the Cricut I would cut this at 1 inch. (I am loving this cut!!)

I received B is for Boy for my birthday from my sweet friend, Alice! THANK YOU ALICE!  I just couldn't’t wait to use it… My son’s birthday is Wednesday the 23rd… just 10 days after mine… when I saw the little boy on this cart… I could so see my John-Robert when he was all little again running around in his super hero capes… he loved being a super hero… I knew if I could figure out how to add the cape exactly what this card was going to look like. John-Robert will be 23 and did grow up to be a super hero for God… he loves spending his time with kids and youth teaching them all about how much God loves them.. In the summer he is Camp Director at RA Camp ( a church camp). And he loves it!!.. Any time through out the year that he gets a chance to share God with a group of kids he is off and running… so this card is super fitting!!.

I read recently in a poll done that more people liked picture tutorials.. I will have to prefect that… that is what I am switching to for now… unless I get lots of request for the videos again or unless a card just needs a video to explain it!!… just let me know how you feel. Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

B is for Boy

Boy and its layers cut @ h 2.28.… set the height and the widths will be right…on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 ¼ inches.

George

Circle (quarter of a circle at corner of card) cut @ h w 4.32 x 4.40... I put a but a rectangle on the mat the size of my background piece or paper, placed it in the bottom corner and then placed the circle on that.. I deleted the rectangle before I cut… you will have to use an exacto knife to finish cutting the circle to the edge of the paper…..using the Cricut I would cut this circle @ 4 1.2 inches… I would lay my background piece of paper over this and mark it and trim off the part that didn’t cut using the Gypsy.

Rounded off Triangle for the cape cut @ w 1.32 x h 1.06... I place a circle cut @ w 0.61 x h 0.57 on top of the triangle to make the neck of the cape… do not weld these two pieces together…. On the Cricut I would cut this at 1 ½ inches…and trim out the neck with scissors.

All Mixed Up

“Super Hero” cut @ h 0.85.. Set the height and the width will be right on all the letters… I did use the button with the circles to make the e’s smaller… then I scooted the letter together…and use the twisty button to turn the letter the way that I needed them to be welded…the easiest way to do this is to place them in the inside edge of the circle as you work then move them after you group and weld them just like you want them…. On the Cricut I would cut these at ¾ an inch.. You might cut the e’s at 1 /2 and inch.

Give A Hoot

Ties for the cape cut @ w 1.47 x h 0.39 …on the Cricut I would try ½ and inch.

There are several bows you could use on different carts.

I grouped all the things by color before I cut them out. The circle is moved to the edge so that it will cut the sides off...I did have to take an exacto knife to cut the circle to the edge just a pinch on the top and bottom.. to get the circle the right size I added a rectangle the size of my background piece to the bottom edge of the mat...then I placed the circle where I wanted it and deleted the rectangle.

Super Hero is welded and grouped together... the circles are placed on the rounded triangles so that there will be a scoop for the neck in the "cape".. do not weld these pieces you want the circle to cut into the triangle.

Here is what all the pieced look like cut out.

I made the Happy Birthday background paper on my computer... and created the sentiment on my computer.

I drew the face on the boy with a fine tip black marker (.005).. I added brown around the blacks of his eyes with brown sharpie... and added freckles... I used pink chalk for his cheeks...and added a white dot to the cheeks and eyes with a white gel pen....I used a brown sharpie to add to the hair...and a white gel pen to add stitches to the pants.

This is a second birthday card I made for my daughter... I sent her to my blog and she saw her other card before she opened it... she sent me an email that she needed another one so she would feel loved... I love her so much that I though she was teasing me... she wasn't.... when I truly got that she had felt so unloved I rushed to get her another one in the mail... I hope this makes up for my unintended mistake and that she can find it in her hear to forgive me.  This is a simple card to make... I didn't do it simple because I was in a hurry ... It ended up simple because I loved this butterfly so much and I thought this was the best way to accent it... the flowers came from my dear friend Sandy...she sent me a goodies box for my birthday yesterday!!..thank you so much Sandy... Madison if you read this... I love you very much!!.... 

CRICUT & GYPSY

Once Upon a Princess

Tag and its layer cut @ w 4.45 x h 3.0...on the Cricut I would cut these at 3 inches.

Butterfly and its layers cut @ w 1.80 x h 1.59... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 1/2.

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 used a sharpie for the brown dots...acrilic paint for the white dots and some of the doodling on the butterfly.

I used a water based brown ink and blue chalks.
