I spent last Friday with my dear friend Jeannene and her daughter Kim…. They make these wonderful note card sets… I had to try one… This set is for a dear lady at my church, her name is Kay. Kay has been such an inspiration to me in my walk with God. I have learned so much from her, she is absolutely amazing… she loves God so much… you can tell her is just her personal friend!… I aspire to be like her to know God like she does. I so hope that she loves her note card set.. Thank you so much for looking!.. Thank you Jeannene and Kim for teaching me how to do this and inspiring me… and feeding my heart and soul! Hugs, Jeannie

Card Case

This is an 8 ½ x 11 piece of cardstock turned so it is wider than taller….score 5 inches from each end…then score 2 inches and 2 ½ inches from the bottom… cut out the center part between the 2 and 2 ½ inch score lines.. Fold the bottoms up.. To create a bottom… anyway it makes a little book like thingy… (don’t your love my terminology!) I added a strip of paper across the middle, it goes all the way around the outside of the “book.” I added eyelets to each side wrapped my ribbon all the way around the outside of the book…it has tape on the back to hold it in place…fed the ribbon through the eyelets and this keeps the book closed.

CRICUT & GYPSY

Lovely Floral

Circle flourish and its circle base cut @ h 2.81...set the height and the width will be right on both cuts… on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 ¾ and inch.

Jasmine

K cut @ 2.48 inches… and welded to the inside of the flourish circle… on the Cricut I would cut these at 2 ½ inches…and glue to the circle.

The trim across the middle of each background were from the paper pack that I used.

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!

I was inspired by a picture to make this card... I am just loving this paper pad it is so romantic!!.. and I am such a fool for romance!! .. I hope that you like it!... I am going to try and give CRICUT INSTRUCTIONS along with my Gypsy instructions... because I have had several request for both... please if you use my Cricut Instructions let me know if they are working for you... because they are going to be a bit of guess work.... Hugs Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Walk in My Garden

Flower cut @ h 2.28 x w 1.74.. on the Gypsy .. Cricut size 1 3/4 inches.

I cut the flower twice.

I pop-dotted the flower together at the base of the flower and glued the end of the pedals directly together with a touch of glue... I shaded with chalk.

Center of flowers cut @ w 1.38 x h 1.74 on the Gypsy...on the Cricut cut @ 1 3/4 inches to match the flower.

I cut these twice in yellow only used the solid piece...I added color with chalk and pop-dotted between the yellow pieces.

Leaves cut @ w 1.58 x h 1.00 with the gypsy..on the Cricut I would cut them at inch.

I pulled the end of the leaves together and glued the ends to make the pop up in the center.

Jasmine

Corners cut @ w 1.60 x h 5.11 on the Gypsy... on the Cricut I would cut them @ 2 1/2 on real dial size... you get two corners per one cut.. cut 4 times so you also have corners for the inside of the card.

The Stem of the flower was cut with my wavy paper trimmer.

This is a picture of my gypsy mat when I cut out my card ... the center square won't cut..it is a rectangle the size of my card opened as a template...I use this to know if my cuts will fit on my card right.... be sure and save your files!...as you can see I grouped all the pieces together that need to be cut in the same colors

Turtle Friends

Turtle Friends, so fitting for another one of mine and Vicki's challenges... Vicki picked this cut... and I picked Friends after looking at the cut... I though "Those realistic turtles oh Vicki you have got to be kidding me!". but that is what makes it a challenge isn't it... then I found my paper...and knew the front facing turtle was sitting on the back of the side facing turtle and I got excited and went to work... I hope that you like it... it was such a fun card to do.

Disclaimer: My thief of a cat took my directions!!!... she always takes my craft supplies... I have no idea why!...but this time while my card was drying she took my directions ... so this is from memory...

CRICUT

Animal Kingdom

Side turtle cut at either 3 inches or 2 3/4 inches.

Front facing turtle cut @ either 2 inches or 1 3/2 inches.

I am thinking its the whole numbers but they are measuring the fraction numbers.

Zoobaloos

Grass cut @ 1 inch on real dial size... twice on layer feature for the front rows once on regular cut for the back row which I wish I had cut at 1 1/4 inch (the back row).

Jasmine

Corners cut at 2 1/4 inches on real dial size.

Inside corners cut @ 1 1/4 inches on real dial size.

Punched flowers w/Stickles for the centers.

Thank You Note... House Mouse

I am still working on Thank You cards for the sweet people giving Madison's shower.... I decided to do them all different!!... that is much more fun for me .... and maybe they will enjoy seeing each others cards... I love this House Mouse stamp so I decided to go with it and see if I could make it incorporate it into a card and it not be the whole card.... sometimes that is hard for me!!...

CRICUT
Wild Card
Rose cut @ 2 inches using the real dial size feature.
Jasmine
Corners cut @ 1 inch on the real dial size feature.
Opposites Attract
"thanks" cut @ 1 inch (I think 80% sure).
To color the stamp I used colored pencils and I blended them with a blending stump but did not use gamasol...I liked the bolder color I got without the gamasol.

Hello Fish

I was in Gatlinburg this weekend with my son, John-Robert...pictures of us snow-tubing is below the picture of this card on my blog....of course I had to visit the Scrapbook Superstore and he was such a great sport about that!!... anyway I got me some paper and brads and paper...

Robby's Valentine

I was so excited when I decided what to do with this paper and exactly how I wanted to make Robby's Valentine Card... I wanted it to be special!!... because Robby is the love of my life, and has been for the last 29 years.... he spoils me rotten, still holds my hand, he lights up when I walk in a room...and I light up when he walks in a room... he still makes my heart pitter patter... he always kisses me good-bye and walks me to the car when I leave the house first... and the list goes on and on... I love him with all my heart!! ... I hope he loves his card!!... TFL~~Jeannie
