I made this card as a thank you card for my pastor, who is wonderful… my Daddy is having surgery next tomorrow in B’ham about an hour and a half away… at six the morning… Pastor David is coming to pray with my dad before surgery!!… I wanted to thank him… there is not enough words… I hope this makes him know how much this means to us.

GYPSY & CRICUT

Gypsy Wanderings

Pumpkins cut @ w 1.20 x h 1.30 and 3 1.0 x h 1.07... The second set of pumpkins I used the hide contour feature to remove the slits in the pumpkin… and cut those in a darker orange…. On the Cricut you would have to use different pumpkins.. I would cut them @ 1 ¼ and 1 inch.

Live Simply

Chipmunk cut @ w 1.56 x h 0.93... Since I cut him so small I didn’t cut the layers and just added accents with my pens and chalk… on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 inch.

Bloom

Trees cut @ w 3.64 x h 3.89... I cut this out three time.. On the bottom one I used the whole tree… on the next one that I popped from the bottom one I cut away the right limb... and on the top one that I popped from the middle one I cut away both limbs… on the Cricut I would cut this @ 4 inches.

Create a Critter

Leaves cut @ w 0.79 x h 0.88 …on the Cricut I would cut this @ ¾ and inch.

Card base 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches… Frame piece 4 x 5 ¼ inches…. Background piece 3 ½ x 4 ¾ inches… Sentiment piece 2 ¾ x 4 inches… all these pieced I cut on my paper trimmer.

I know this is so much like a card I made two cards before this one… but I kept having that card and that paper in my head… and a card I made a long time ago… so I just combined those two cards and came up with this one… I am so excited at how it turned out!!!… If I had a blue room I would frame this one in a shadow box frame.. But I don’t… and I don’t know anybody that does… this so reminds me of the living room of the house I grew up in… the room that I got married in almost 30 years ago… it would have been so pretty in that room… oh I could cry right now… I hope that you love this card as much as I do… I hope you all have a wonderful day! Hugs, Jeannie

Roses (16) cut @ w 2.92 x h 4.09 … I cut 4 in brown and 12 in blue… I cut roses from the blue ones just above the part that would be green on a real rose… then I cut them apart even further… each rose had one brown part.. A large blue part… a smaller blue part…and the smallest blue part…I used the lines that the Cricut made to cut these apart and layer them up… see close up picture of rose … on the Cricut I would cut these @ 4 inches.

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!!)
