This is my The-Gypsy Spot Design Team challenge card this week... My aunt and uncle are having their 50th wedding anniversary in December and my dad asked me to make them a card from him (a first)... they went to Etowah High School... got married the year my aunt graduated... the school colors are Blue and Gold... this is my first welded shape card... it needs something but for my first try I am really really excited at how it turned out...maybe my next one will be even better...I am trying to get as good as Donna M!!!...but that will probably never happen.... be sure and out the other Design Team members at The-Gypsy Spot! Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Because of welding I didn't include the Cricut instructions.

Base Camp

1959 shadow Cut @ h 3.0 inches... width will be right if you just set the h at 3.o inches.

1959 regular numbers cut @ h 3.o inches width will be right if you just set the heigth.

George

Heart cut @ w 2.89 x h 2.60

Tiny Square for car tag cut @ w 0.48 x h 0.30.

Used a hand punch for the tiny heart.

Heart Shadows cut @ w 2.88 x h 2.16.

Rounded Square inside the card to hold the sentiment cut @ w 4.68 x h 2.33.

I welded this to the part of the card that is the back to make a place to put a piece of white paper for the sentiment....for now the circle still cut out of the center of the 9's I just popped them back in and put lots of adhesive on the back of my white piece.

Sweethearts

Car cut @ w 2.14 x h 1.88.

Car Shadow cut @ w 2.88 x h 2.16.

I built the shadow of the 1959 with the heart and car shadows and welded them and grouped them together then I duplicated the grouped items...and flipped them up.. since they were welded shapes already when you put them in place they will be welded.

I forgot to save the Judy & Paul it was cut with Alphalicious but I am not sure what size... see why its important to save your changes when you make them!...lol

Two of the ladies from my card class need a Happy Birthday card for their husbands...this is what I made for that... hope that they like it.... it had great layers...I was really happy with how the black background for the shape made the card pop so... it worked good with the bright colors.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend... I have!!... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Since I did so much welding there are no Cricut instructions for this card.

Base Camp

"Happy Birthday" Shadow sizes on the letters with only the height given the width will be right when you set the height...

H - w 1.46 x h 2.31, B w 1.45 x h 2.10

All other letters h 1.26

"Happy Birthday" regular letters... sizes on the letter with only the height given the width will be right when you set the height.

H - w 1.32 x h 2.16, B - w 1.31 x h 2.19

All other letter h 1.26

Asterisk shadow and regular cut cut @ h 1.32.

Doodle Charms

Cupcake and its layer cut @ h 2.26

Cupcake Shadow cut @ h 2.37

Because I wanted the candles cut in another color I used a George rectangle to make new candle and A Child's Year for a teardrop to make a new flame.

George

Rectangle cut @ w 0.22 x h 0.62

A Child's Year

Teardrop cut @ 0.21 x h 0.38

I welded the Happy Birthday shadow together except for the H along with one of the cupcake shadows and cut duplicated that ...the first layer I attached to the background paper the second one I popped from the first one... I cut 2 H shadow shapes...and popped each from the other.....you need two extra cupcake shadows to pop one from the second welded shadow piece and the next one on top of that.... I popped on shadow asterix from the welded letters and then added the white Astrix pieced... I glued the whole cupcake piece to the top cupcake shadow with the candle trimmed off... I glued one icing piece directly on top of that...and then I embossed and popped the top icing piece on top of that... the candle and flame are glued directly to the top shadow piece of cupcake....I hope that these instructions are clearer than mud!
