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 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. I also ask that you do not submit my designs for publication, profit or for any contest. Thank you!

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.
