CRICUT & GYPSY

Once Upon a Princess tag cut is the frame for the thanks… and it layer cut @ h 3.35...set the height and the width will be right…. … I put the oval layer over the tag cut to make the whole in the center, then I cut out an extra frame piece in cream… on the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 ¼ inches.… you can use your center point feature to get the whole in the tag cut.

Cindy Lou

Flower cut @ w 1.28 x h 2.56 and w 1.36 x h 2.70... They do not cut out that big…so don’t worry that you have these number wrong… I did use the hide contour feature to hide the flower centers and the holes that cut out in the center…I used chalk to add color to the flowers…and paint for the dots in the centers of the flowers….and ink around the edges…… on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 ½ inches… they will cut out smaller… you will have a whole in the center of your flowers you might want to choose a flower from Walk in My Garden that does not have the center cut out.

“Thanks” cut @ w 2.68 x h 0.80... On the Cricut I would cut this @ 3/4 and inch.

Flourishes cut @ w 1.68 x h 1.30 … on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 ¼ inches.

Martha Steware Butter Fly Punch for the Butterflies

Card base is 4 ¼ x 5 ½, Frame Piece 4 x 5 ¼ , Background piece 3 ½ x 4 ¾… these cuts are on the inside and outsides of my cards… Sentiment piece 2 ¾ x 4 I cut with my oval cutter.….. I cut all of these with my paper trimmer.

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

Shades of Pooh and Grey

I thought of this card yesterday at work... shared the idea with the one of the sweetest people that I know, Britney.... she got so excited that I got even more excited.... left work at 6pm... went to Hobby Lobby for the paper.... out to eat.... home to sleep....and I... who minds you loves to sleep late.... woke up at 6 am and started working on it.... then my blade was too dull for the thinner papers.... so my sweet husband Robby went off to buy groceries at Wal-Mart along with a blade for my Cricut.... I was too excited to wait...I cut all my thick paper cuts while he was gone and finished up when he got home.... it was just a fun card to make... to see the end results was exciting!... Thanks so much for looking... ~~Hugs Jeannie

I was so excited about this little card.... beyond excited.... once I thought of it I couldn't think of anything else!!.... it all came about because of those adorable Magnolia stamps!!... I kept thinking....how can I make a paper doll from Paper Doll Dress Up sitting down.... how, how, how!!... it just wouldn't leave my head and when I started I wasn't sure at all that I could do it.... but it all turned out pretty good and I am so excited...I hope that you like it!! ~~ Jeannie

Zoobaloos

PEACHY KEEN FACE STAMP

When I cut the legs out I trimmed off the shoe part and rounded each end...to look like the top of the knee... I took the black circles from the center of the wagon and trimmed off the top to make a sort of oval for the shoes.... to make them look like you were looking at them from the front ... cut these twice so that I could pop dot the top layer.....I cut the arms from the body so that I could position them the way that I wanted them.... and of course I cut the legs from the body.... I set the dress at the top of the wagon then added the legs to create the sitting effect!!

I kept thinking...these carts are all about paper piecing.... and I need to utilize that fact to the fullest of my ability... it would give me so many more options... it just got me all excited!

I am learning to use my Cuttlebug... and incorporating it into my style... to use it I have to use a smaller size card than I am use to.... that is a bigger adjustment than you would think.... so this card took me a little while.... but in the end I was really happy with the results... tell me what you think!...

This is a card that I made that was totally inspired by the paper.... I was so in the mood to create all day.... but every time I went to the craft table I would draw a blank.... then I came across this paper by Cosmo Cricut... it was a clearance paper pack at Hobby Lobby a while back.... the background paper begged for butterflies .... then the phrase was printed on a piece of the paper... so I had to do the butterflies.... no Cricut on this one.... just the Martha Stewart butterfly punches, brown ink and stitching. ~~Jeannie
