I am so excite to be a member of the BBTB2 Design Team.... It has long been a dream of mine to be on the BBTB design team.... and here I am!!.... this weeks challenge was to use the the Card Cut on From My Kitchen... to find it use the shift key and function key 3rd down on second row ... its the card feature and then shift... then its on the forth row down and the second row over...that is the cut in the challenge...I must admit that I thought oh my goodness what in the world am I going to do with this cut!!... and then it came to me... I altered the cut on my Gypsy... screen shots and instructions below... Be sure and stop by the BBTB2 and see what the other Design Team members created!!

Gypsy files for this card are available by e-mail... just copy and paste the following e-mail address into your own e-mail ... winacard@gmail.com ... and I will be glad to send you the file.

*Because of all the welding I wasn't able to include Cricut cuts for this card.*

CRICUT & GYPSY
From My Kitchen
Card cut (choose the shift button and the coffee cup feature key) cut @ w 3.65 x h 2.38...
Larger card cut for the inside cut @ w 3.65 x h 2.38... for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.
George
Rectangle for behind card cut @ w 2.36 x h 3.57... for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.
Larger sentiment rectangle cut @ w 2.19 x h 0.88 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.
Smaller sentiment rectangle cut @ w3.97 x h 0.63 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.
The sentiment is computer generated.
Triangle that creates the corners inside the card cut  cut @ w 0.90 x h 0.40 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.
Circle that creates the corners inside the card cut cut @ w 0.42 x h 0.32 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.
Weld these two shapes together...then duplicate and use the flip features for each corner...for the larger inside peace you will need to change the size of the grouped triangle and circle to w 1/17 x h 0.67 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.... you can duplicate this for each corner and flip each piece to  fit in the corners.
Walk in My Garden
Snail and its layer and shadow cut @ h 0.93 ...set the height on each and the width will be right...be sure to relink your w & h when you do this.
Easter 2010
Grass cut @ w 1.46 x h 1.0 ... place two on the mat and weld together for the length you need for inside your window.... before you weld these to the window duplicate and add a rectangle cut @ w 2.50 x h 0.21  from George to the bottom.. weld these three pieces together then duplicate.

The easiest way to get everything to line up on each layer is this....Place your card on the mat... then weld your grass to it...then weld the snail shadow to the grass...then weld 2 corners to the top.... group all of this together... duplicate... then delete the snail shadow... duplicate this and delete  your grass .... now for the tricky part... on the piece where you have deleted your grass and your snail click on this then click on your weld key.... click on the triangle to un-group just the triangle ...then click on the circle inside the triangle to un-group that... click on your group button again... now click on any clear space on your mat... then click your group button and click on your un-grouped triangle and your un-grouped circle... this will group just these two items together so you can duplicate them and make corners for the bottom of your top square...see mat.... after you get all your corners placed group everything together and make sure everything is welded.

It's Been Forever

I have been looking at this cut (the swirly thing on the bottom of the shelf) thinking that this would be a beautiful shelf!!... so I flipped it and welded a rectangle to it... and made myself a shelf... but I couldn't thing what in the world I wanted to put on this shelf.... and while I was going through my cuts I came across this beautiful corner... that I have never been able to incorporate into any of my card before and this idea just came to me... it so reminded me of an old house with the phone in the hall on a shelf... with a chair sitting by it... so so sad that I am old enough to remember seeing such as this!!! lol... and this is the card I ended up with... I was quite tickled with the end result...and it was such an easy card... what an extra!!.. hope everyone is having such a wonderful day! ... Hugs, Jeannie
CRICUT & GYPSY
Stamping
Swirls for bottom of shelf cut @ w 3.65 x h 1.29 - on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 1/4 inches.
George
Rectangle for top of shelf is a square cut @ w 3.75 x h 0.30 on real dial size I cut this 3 times one of the rectangles is welded to the swirls to make the shelf and popped the the second from the shelf and the third one from the second- if I was using the Cricut I would cut this with a paper trimmer at w 3 3/4 x h 1/4 of an inch.
Sweethearts
Corner Filigree cut @w 2.82 x h 2.71 - on the Cricut I would cut this @ 2 3/4 inches.
From My Kitchen
Phone cut @ w 2.70 x h 1.79 I cut this twice so I could pop the top phone..from the top phone I cut the handset and the cord and used on the inside of the card - on the Cricut I would cut the phone @ 1 3/4 or 2 inches.
I also cut the layer feature of the phone to get the center tan oval of the phone.
The easiest way to get this the right size is to click on the phone and then pick your layer feature then they will be the right size. This is my mat before I cut... I moved the images that were to be black close together before I cut... the images in red are welded together.
