All Ornament Cuts cut @ h 5.15 the width will be right on all the cuts if you set the height.

The three bottom ornament cuts are shadow cuts, two are welded together.

The two top ornament cuts are regular cuts, on has a George oval in it.

Then there is the layer feature cuts which I Embossed in Gold

On the Cricut  I would cut these @ 5 1/4 inches.

On the Cricut  I would cut them @ 2 3/4 inches.

Opposites Attract

"2009" cut @ h 0.53 on upright feature and welded together.

The width will be right on all the numbers if you set just the height.

George

Oval (inside the ornament) cut @ w 2.42 x h 2.69 do NOT weld these two items.

I used the backside of the oval cut for the oval on the inside of the card.

Usinge the Cricut I would cut this with an oval cutter like the one from Making Memories.

I have been looking at this little pine cone branch for a while now trying to figure out how to use it... finally I came up with this... hope you like it... all the delegate cuts I trusted only to Basicgrey paper.... it always cuts out so pretty... so the words and that delegate little branch is from a Basicgrey paper pack... the other beautiful paper is from My Minds Eye- A Signature Christmas- Holiday Glitter Pack I am crazy about this paper...its just amazingly beautiful. I hope you like my card! Merry Christmas! .. Hugs, Jeannie

If you are using your Cricut cut these cuts I am doing my best to get the best measurements... I have done this by trial and error...so bare with me while I work out my mistakes..I think I have all the cuts right on this card for the Cricut~ Thanks Jeannie

I have the instructions below on the mat so that they will be eaiser to understand.

You can click on any picture to enlarge so if you need the text bigger in the instructions just click on the picture.

I did not include Cricut sizes this time because of all the welding.

Please let me know which way you like the instructions better.

Vase of Joy

Designed by Jeannie Phillips - Southside, AL

Click on any picture to enlarge.

I was going through my cartridges on my Gypsy and found this JOY with a flower on it.... and just loved the joy...but didn't want the flower so I decided to weld the vase to the joy over the top of the flower... and then the rest of the card just evolved from that... the Shadow Joy and Vase is cut in a green/snowflake print... the Joy and Vase without the shadow cut in red and then just the vase is cut in beige...in the red cut the circle of the flower still cuts out.... it just didn't weld right there...but it was going to be covered by the beige vase so it didn't matter... welding is shown in the screen shot at the bottom of the page... all red items are welded.... thank you so much for looking... Hugs, Jeannie

Storybook

Flourish cut @ w 2.75 x h 0.59 - on the Cricut I would cut this at 3/4 inch because I stretched it on my Gypsy.

Flourish (second florish on second row on mat shot) cut @ w 1.93 x h 1.86 - on the Cricut I would cut this @ 3/4 inch.

*I guess at the Cricut sizes based on the height sizes of my Gypsy cuts... these are the sizes I would have tired first when not using my Gypsy.

Snow Much Fun

Everyone was making penguin cards on the Cricut Message Boards for this weeks BBTB Challenge and I so love penguins so I had to jump in and make one myself!!... I had this idea...thought the paper choice would look like a long winters night... not sure if I like how it turned out...then when I look again I like it... maybe tomorrow I will make up my mind... let me know what you think... I used my Gypsy to weld circles and rectangles to make the background border for the SNOW... if you are still sitting on the fence about getting a Gypsy I can tell you I just love my Gypsy... love it!! Hugs, Jeannie

I was unable to make Cricut cut sizes because of stretching some items by height only and the use of the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge.

I am home from work today... a bad Lupus attack... I tried to get dressed and just couldn't... so I have rested all morning... trying unsuccessfully to sleep.... this little angel has been on my mind all morning!!...she was inspired by a frig magnet at work... I worked on her on my Gypsy last night...and finally decided to finish her up... so maybe I could sleep... I am taking her a sign from God that he is taking care of me and in the morning I will feel better enough to work...usually a day in bed will do it... so back to bed after this post!! Thank you so much for looking... hugs, Jeannie

Paper Doll Dress Up

Dress cut @ w 3.50 x h 4.96.

I used an oval from George to alter the shape of the dress...I wanted it to be a dress from the side..the dress on PDDU was from the front and too wide...I also added circles in the scalloped bottom to dress up the dress.

Hair cut @ w 2.21 x h 4.41.

If I make this again I would cut two more hair pieces to add to the layers like I did the face circles.

A Christmas Tweet

It's The Cuttlebugspot time again!! This weeks theme was Tweet Tweet we had to use a bird... any bird ... I pondered this for a while and was inspired by Tomiannie on the Cricut MB ... she does beautiful work!... you need to see her card "Congratulations Lovebirds" ... when she used these birds I knew that I was going to use them on my CB card... I had forgotten about her half circle but it must have been in my head ... this card is totally inspired by her beautiful work and heart ... also I was telling my dear husband that I needed to think of a sentiment using this cut (as I pointed to the birds) he said without skipping a beat "A Christmas Tweet" ... Thank you Robby and Tomiannie! ... I can't wait to see what the other Design Team members came up with... be sure that you have a look-see too by clicking HERE! ... Happy Monday and Hugs to Everyone! Jeannie
