Designed by Jeannie Phillips, Southside, AL

Click on any picture to enlarge. This week at The Cuttlebug Spot we were to make a candy container of some kind...I had to think on this one for a while...because as many of you know... cards are my thing!!...so this is outside my box for sure!!... but when I finished this I was just too excited... I used my Gypsy... and made the tag....I welded the cat and pumpkin to the tags to make a strong base and an outline when I added my other cuts... I am really proud of this one...really proud.... I am learning how to do new things every day with my Gypsy.... this is an amazing amazing tool!.... Hope you like my treat cone... love your comments!!!.... they make my day!! Be sure and check out what the other Design Team members at The Cuttle Bug Spot made this week!!.... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Tags cut @ w 2.75 x h 4.10 white tag and w 2.87 x 4.28 black tag both on shadow blackout.

Circles to make the holes for the tags cut @ h 0.27 x w 0.24.

Paper Doll Dress Up

Pumpkins cut @ w 2.68 x w 4.48..once in green once in orange...and welded once to the white tag.

Pumpkin welded to black tag is w 2.80 x 4.68.

Cat cut @ w 1.91 x h 3.28 this is the single cat and the cat welded to the white tag.

Cat welded to the black tag is w 2.0 x h 3.43.

The way I did the black tag was... I made the white tag..grouped all the items... click on the group and tapped on the enlarge button 3 times... if you do that you will not have to lay out the black tag...and all your sizes will be right. This is a picture of my Gypsy screen saved file...to cut all I did was delete my notes of the carts I used and the color I wanted one of the pumpkins.... I have found that my welded items are not cutting when my un-welded items cut...I delete the un-welded items then run my mat back through the Cricut and the welded items then cut fine...when the Gypsy prompts me to save changes I choose NO...then I still have my notes and all my cuts.

Happy Halloween

This picture is from my cell phone...and all the cut file information is on Jeannen's Gypsy ... so I can't share because I don't have them.... but this card came about while I was spending the day with Jeannene and Joy!!!.... we had a blast... we went paper shopping!!.... we had a most beautiful lunch....talked and talked... and then about 3 o'clock I started this card.... Jeannene wanted me to make a card from start to finish... so this was designed on the Gypsy.... then we laid out all the paper on the mat... and I inked up all the pieces ... and put the card together... added the spider web with a white gel pen.... and and some chalk to all the cheeks.... had a couple of oops....fixed those...and this is what we ended up with.... both the pumpkins are from PDDU... so is the spider and the cat... and the leaves are from Gypsy Wanderings on shadow... and I used lots and lots of pop-dots... one of the pumpkins is actually the pumpkin suit from PDDU...the lid of the pumpkin on the ground on the right is the hat for the costume... I would have never ever thought to use that as a pumpkin and it worked wonderfully....

First thank you everybody for your words of encouragement, your thoughts and your prayers!!... They meant so much to me and truly helped me more than you could ever know! ... hugs and love to each and everyone of you!.. Thank you so so much!

Now on to Clueless Jacks... I have Jack-0-lantern Peachy Keene stamps the inspired this card even though I didn't end up using them... I cut my pumpkins too large... but liked the size ... so I stayed with the pumpkins...working away on them making my own faces (yea! me!)... then I had 3 Jacks...and not background idea at all...so I decided on just black...then I thought of adding a cat maybe... but I couldn't add a black cat with the background...that is how the end card evolved...I just got so excited when I thought of the cat eyes!!!... and then I was able to make them somewhat how I wanted them... hope you like it!! Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT

George

Circle and different ovals cut @ 2 1/4, 2 1/2 and 3 inches... three times each.

I cut two of the ovals or circles from each group in half and inked the edges...cut a notch out of the top and bottom and stacked to make my pumpkins.

Paper Doll Dress Up

Vine cut @ 5 inches....then cut apart for the vine and leafs of the pumpkins.

I drew the cat eyes with colored pencils and added the glitters.

The cat tail on the inside is cut with a wavy cutter.

A Ghostly Trio

I made this card for John-Robert... I just knew from the beginning that I couldn't send him the flowers.... but was afraid I couldn't come up with a good "guy" card... but I did after all... and kids away at college need something from home on any holiday... I sure hope he likes it! ~~Jeannie

CRICUT

Paper Doll Dress Up

Witches hats cut @ 1 1/4 inches and 1 3/4 inches.

The Pumpkins, Signs and Ghost came from a piece of Halloween paper I have had forever!

I have no idea who makes it... it was actually ugly...but when I cut the parts out and found a way to use them I was so glad that I had it!

The stars are a background stamp from Hobby Lobby...on clearance.
