This is my BBTB2 Design Team card for today!!.. We had to use the cut Ready 2 Rock from Hanna Montana… I didn’t have that cartridge this week so I created the same look with a square from George and letters from Learning Curve…. I wanted to come up with something different… and this is what it was…this card so suits my son, John-Robert… I think I will send it to him later… on the VIDEO for this card I did try and show a little of what I do with my Gypsy….I think of you full screen the video you will be able to see …. Be sure and check out all the other projects the BBTB Design Team created this week...they are great.....  Thank you so much for your support!! And your comments it all just means so much to me… I am so grateful to God for my internet people!!… Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

*I did not include Cricut instructions for this card because of the welding needed on the main part of the card.

George

Square welded to the Ready 2 Rock shadow letters and the 2 square on the upper left of the mat cut @ w 2.42 x h 1.73... You will have to unlink the width and height to get this size.

Square for frame for Jesus cut @ w 2.22 x h 1.59 you will have to unlink the width and height to get this size.

Songbird

On Jesus I welded it all together…and grouped it…then I changed set the measurements to w 1.96 x h 1.68... You will have to unlink the width and height to get this size.

Learning Curve

“Ready” and “Rock!” cut @ h 0.77 set the height and the width will be right…for some reason the height on the shadows had to be cut @ 0.79 for the letters to fit right… set the height and the width will be right.

“4” cut @ w 1.70 x h 2.49... You will have to unlink the width and height to get this size.

Card base 4 ¼ x 5 ½, Frame piece 4 x 5 ¼, Background piece 3 ½ x 4 ¾ and the Sentiment piece 2 ¾ x 4...all of this I cut with my paper trimmer.

CRICUT & GYPSY

How to make Baby Jesus and the manger … Close up picture of this Gypsy shot below.

George

Square… that is smaller on one side than the other… cut @ w o.30 x h 0.66.. If you zoom in you can work with this better…. On the Cricut I would cut this at ¾ and inch.

Legs.. The letter “x” from George cut @ 0.35 x 0.44... On the Cricut I would cut these @ ½ and inch.

Baby Jesus’ head circle cut @ ¼ and inch…on the Cricut I would cut this at ½ an inch.

First I welded the lopsided square to the two X.’s I grouped these and then I welded them.. Duplicate this image then add the circle… cut the first piece in the manger color and the second piece the color you want baby Jesus…. On the Cricut I would cut the lopsided square and the X’s in the manger color glue these to the square with part of the X behind the square…see picture…then I would cut the circle the color I wanted the Baby Jesus and glue the bottom half of this to the back of the square.

George

Heart cut @ w 1.41 x h1.69... On the Cricut I would cut this @ 1 ¾ inches.

Going Places

Globe and its shadow blackouts (2) cut @ w 3.10... Set the width and the height will be right on both cuts…. On the second shadow blackout cut you will weld you letters for “for God so loved” to this… you will have to use the rotate button to get the letters in place right…..On the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 inches.

All Mixed Up

Letters for “for God so loved” cut @ h 0.65.. Set the height and the width will be right… I did change the height of 2 or 3 of the letters to get the look I wanted … you can make the decision on this….on the Cricut I would cut these letters a ½ and inch… place one of your shadow blackout pieces on then card and line the letters up around that… see video for popping instructions.

Letters for “the World” cut @ h 0.68...set the height and the width will be right… I did make the l and d a couple of taps larger using the large circle that enlarges the images…. You can do this to get the look you want… on the Cricut I would cut these at ¾ and inch.

My husband took me to eat at Cracker Barrel yesterday and I say this beautiful card with a cross and flowers and hearts on it… I just love the feel of it so I came home to make me a version of it…. And when I finished laying out the cross, the heart and the flowers I knew this card needed an angel… God’s Little Angel…. And I imagined that the angel felt great joy when it laid his eyes on the cross… the card just filled my heart with joy!!… I hope it fills your heart too…this also ended up being a good first card to assemble on video because it is fairly easy… there is a separate video for the angel… it is just below this post or you will find a link to it on the right of my blog entitled Assembling God’s Little Angel…. I hope that my voice and my flow of instructions gets much smoother!!… I’m learning!!…. Thank you so much for looking… I love your comments!!… Hugs, Jeannie

*I wanted just the yellow part of the Daffodils to place over my green ... before I added the layers so I added that many daffodils to my mat and moved all but the tops of the flowers off the page.. see mat shot below... so I could put yellow over the green...then add the layers.

George

All the rectangles are actually squares cuts with the height and width off to get the sizes I needed.

Squares welded to the lamp shadows and grouped then cut @ w 0.66 x h 1.40...lay out one of these then duplicate so they will be exactly the same... pop the first one from the background... then pop the other from that... using the Cricut I would cut these on my paper trimmer at width 3.5 x h 1 3/4 an inch and then glue the shadow into place.

Smaller Square for the sentiment cut @ w 3.41 x h 1.52...place the lamp shadow over this... in the right place... but do not weld so you get the round cut in the corner...see picture.... to line this up right I placed it over the welded pieced... the grouped and moved...using the Cricut I would cut this on the paper cutter at a little little more than 3 inches x 1 1/2 inches.

Square with the silhouette cut out cut @ w 1.19 x 1.46 ...using the Cricut would cut these with the paper cutter 1/4 inch wider and taller than your stamp cut.

*The lamp shadow that is not welded is placed off the paper some because you don't need that  lamp except for what it does to the square.

Guard-in Angel (Story behind title)

Designed by Jeannie Phillips - Southside, AL

Click on any picture to enlarge.

The story is important to the title of this card... it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!!.. first I connect with a childhood friend on Facebook recently....and through our conversation we found out that we had shared so much more in childhood than we knew... it no wonder we were drawn to each other...so I wanted to make her a card and asked what she liked...she said Guardian Angels..so I thought how am I going to make this card without it being all formal.... I wanted something sweet and cute...then I remembered that once when my son was little he saw a snake in his Big Papaw's garden...we told him no to worry it was just a garden snake... he was delighted...being into superheroes as he was and said "oh a guard-in sake... they guard the garden!!!"...and that is how this card came to be... I remembered a stamp that I was thinking was a Cricut cut and imagine my dismay when I remembered it was a stamp...one that I didn't have!!... so when Joyce told me oh Jeannie you can make anything...I couldn't disappoint her!!...THANK YOU JOYCE... to make the angel I used the crawling baby from New Arrival... and butterfly wings from Pooh and Friends!!... and Raggedy Andy's hair from Paper Doll Dress Up..turned sideways a bit... so the left ear of the baby ended up being its nose!..I am so excited about my little angel!!...beyond excited...I hope that you like it!!... thank you so much for looking and for you comments!!...
