I was a bit fidgety watching TV last night so I got our my Gypsy to go through my cartridges....and see if I could come up with any ideas...I just got the new Sentimental cartridge the other day and I love, love the stamp cut on it... and had Valentines on my mind and looked at the Sweethearts cartridge, which I haven't used very much.... and decided laid this card out really quick without thinking much of it... when I decided on the papers I wanted to use today I got really excited!!!... its a simple card...but the papers and the Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder on the balloons, the "love", and the couple really set this card off.... I am really really happy with how it turned out!!... hope that you like it too!!...I prayed to God for some card ideas...I told him I really needed this for my mental health....and he has been so good to me the last couple of day...always...but the last couple of days with my cards.... So I want to give God the credit for these cards and say "Thank you God so much for what you do for me!".... thank you so much for looking!... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Sentimental

Large Stamp frame cut @ w 4.19 x h 5.25 ...on the Cricut I would cut this @ 5 1/4 inches.

Small Stamp frame cut @ w 2.81 x h 3.33 ... on the Cricut I would cut these at 3 1/4 inches.

Large Stamp center cut w 4.78 x h 3.29 ...using the Cricut I would cut this with my paper cutter.

Small Stamp center cut @ w 2.27 x h 3.34...using the Cricut I would cut this with my paper cutter.

 Sweetheart

Couple with balloons cut @ w 2.77 x h 2.84 ...on the Cricut I would cut them @ 2 3/4 inches.

Extra Balloons cut @ w 0.94 x h 0.74 there are only 3 on the mat but I cut 4..one for the inside...on the Cricut I would cut these the same as the couple on the layer feature... but I an not sure at all on this cut... you might just want to cut the couple again in red and use just the balloons to pop on top of the other balloons.

Beyond Birthdays

"love" cut @ w 3.24 x h 1.14... on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 1/4 inches.

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

It was our song ~

Isn't it funny how you make lots of cards that make you say...Oh I need that "such n such" cartridge.... so finally you get it... after all you have to have it!!!.... it is a must!!! .... Then then you finally get it and you can't think of even one card you had wanted to make... so I still had the "need" to use my new 50 States Cartridge...and this is all I could come up with... my mind was just all a blank... it turned out pretty ... I think... thank you for looking ~~Jeannie

Hello All... I made this card in the middle of Papo's death and Cleo's (MIL) death and am just getting to post it...by now I have forgotten what all I did...the lamb is a Cricut cut...but what cart I have no idea...the corners are from Jasmine of course cut at 2 1/4 inches on real dials size and shadow I am almost sure...stamped with a Hobby Lobby stamp... the sentiment is computer generated...lots of SU ink...and that great MS punch....

Please continue to say prayers for our family there is so much still to do and we, especially my dear husband need your prayers... My kids both left for college today too... say prayers to keep them safe and me sane....

Thank you for the prayers your have already prayed on our behalf two deaths just a week apart is just almost too much to bare.

TOGETHER WE CAN

A friend of my son, John-Robert asked me to make a card for his girlfriend of 17 months...she is flying in next week .... I now always make two cards just alike so I will have some cards on hand ... Cory's card for his girlfriend is just like this one except it says "Together we have been on top of the world for 17 months"... I didn't need two of those so I changed the wording for a sweetheart or a friend in need of support... I was tickled with this one... thanks for looking. ~Jeannie
