Oh Baby Card and Hats

Designed by Jeannie Phillips

I was in invited to a baby shower for a girl at my chruch... I was thinking oh what to buy... silly me I have been making caps like crazy.... so I decided this would be a fun gift!... I made the Christmas one for a photo prop.... I thought that would be so much fun with a December baby!!... I hope that she love the caps and the card.

Right now with the new update I am not sure how to share my card files... you get two options ... one is not save to your computer... when I figure it out I wll be glad to start sharing again!.

CRICUT & GYPSY

New Arrival

Baby cut @ w q.95 x h 2.39 ... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 1/2 inches.

Pooh and Friends

Hat (toboggan) cut @ w1.37 x h 1.65.. on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1.75.

George

Circle cut @ w 2.63 x h 2.46 on the Cricut I think I would cut this @ 2 1/2 inches... that may be too big.. if it is I would leave the circle off... because the 2 1/4 inch circle is probably going to be too small.

Butterflies are a Martha Stewart Punch.

Fall Scarf and Boggin with Needle Felted Leaf and Acrons

Designed by Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, Al

I am so excited about this scarf and hat!!...it is my favorite yet...I am learning... I learned how to do the knit stitch on my !!looms for my patches... and I am so excited... now if I just get better at felting them before I put the design on them.... I used my Gyspy and Cricut for templates for my Needle Felting and am so excited about how it turned out!!... thank you so much for looking... now to find something to do with these hats and scarfs that I am making!

Gypsy and Cricut

Gypsy Wandering

Leaf cut @ w 2.20 x h 2 27.. with the hide contour feature used to hide the lines in the leaf....I cut this leaf  inside a square from George... (to create the template) ...the square is cut @ w 3.15 x h 3.15... on the Cricut I would cut the leaf @ 2 1/4 inches and the square @ 3 1/4 inches.

Winter Woodland

Acorn cut @ w 0.94 x h 4.52  (this is not too large I promise)... I cut this inside a square from George that was cut @ w 1.59 x h 1.40...on the Cricut I would cut the acorn @ 4 1/2 inchs and the square @ 1 1/2 inches.

I am really enjoying the Needle felting it is just so much fun... I used a light brown on the bottom of the acorn..and a dark brown for the top and the steam...... and a burn orange color for the leaf...and the same dark brown for the veins and steam on the leaf.. these are just super easy to do.

Today I did some things that I needed to get done… God has been nudging me!… so when I took my nap I prayed for a card… woke up with this one in my head…. I love this Meow cart…it is just so sweet… and we have a few cats along with our dog, Shaggy… I just couldn’t make it without my animals… to me animals are one way God sends his love to us…

This was suppose to be an easy card…but I had to re-cut the girl… I didn’t like how she looked when you layered her skin pieces…so I went back and cut her out in the color of her dress…and in the flesh color…and trimmed her dress away and layered it on top of the flesh color…it is much easier this way!!.. Looks much better when put together… I did trim a scoop out in the neck of the dress and added the white collar and the white lines on the dress with a white gel pen.

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!

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….

I have discovered when you have made over 500 cards that you are going to have to not worry any more if you start repeating some ideas...its just going to happen!! Thank you so much for looking. ~ Hugs, Jeannie

Sugar and Spice

Owl and its layers cut @ h 2.48.. Set the height and the width will be right on all the cuts… I didn’t use the shift cut… but I cut two of the owl so I could pop the owl twice from the background… on the Cricut I would cut this at 2 1 /2 inches.

Once Upon a Princess

Tag and its layer cut @ h 1.89... Set the height and the width will be right on both cuts… I duplicated the oval and cut the duplicated oval @ w 2.13 x h 2 12...on the Cricut I would cut the tag at its oval @ 1 ¾ inches and leave out the extra oval.

ZooBaloo

Branch and its layer cut @ h 1.81 set the height and the widths will be right…on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 ¾ inches.

Give a Hoot

Extra leaves cut @ w 1.09 x h 0.69... On the Cricut I would cut these at 1 inch.

Triangle for nose cut @ w 0.32 x h 0.25 inches… using the Cricut I would just hand cut this piece.

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 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.

I love sharing the instructions and files for my cards but I do ask that if you use my instructions or files to recreate my card and place it on your blog or somebody else’s blog that you give me the credit for the original design.

This is my BBTB2 DT card for this week… we were to use the owl on Storybook… and I have been playing with my Cri-Kits pens A LOT lately…this is what I came up with… it was one of those cards that I wasn’t sure I liked when I first finished it…and looked at it the next morning and went “wow! I think I really like this one!”… I hope that you like it too… its going to the CHA Show with the folks at Cri-Kits… they liked it… thank goodness!!… I didn’t have time to do a video on this card… If you watch the video on Café Anniversary (see right side of my blog) it will explain how to do the pens on layers. I hope everybody has a wonderful day!… be sure and check out all the other wonderful cards over at BBTB2. Hugs!
