Click on any picture to enlarge.
There is a instructional VIDEO at the bottom of this post.
The Gypsy File is available for this card by email. Just copy and paste this email to your personal email account winacard@gmail.com and let me know which Gypsy file that you are wanting.

This is my BBTB2 Design Team card for this week… we were to use the fish cut from Campin Out. All I could think of was my niece, Katy fishing with her daddy one day a few years back and stopped by where I worked at the time to tell me about the fish she caught. Her hands were spread out wide, really wide. Her daddy stood behind her with his fish much, much closer together. It so made me smile! So this card was inspired by Katy! Love you Katy… be sure and stop by The Bug and see what all the designers have come up with this week!  Thanks for looking! Hugs, Jeannie
*There is now a link at the bottom of each post where you can show off your recreation of my cards… I would love it if you share your recreations with me! Thank you so, so much! Hugs

CRICUT & GYPSY
Campin Out
Fish and their layers cut @ sm h 1.0, med h 1.25, lg h 1.50 …set the height and the widths will be right… on the Cricut I would cut these at 1, 1 ¼ and 1 ½ inches.
Stamped
“fish tales” letters cut @ h 1.0 ..set the height and the widths will be right… lay your letter out, dulpicate and weld to the I cut from George that is turned sideways…. on the Cricut I would cut these letter @ 1 inch.. I would only cut one set of letter using the Cricut and I would glue then to your line.
George
The letter “I” used for the strip under each word cut @ w 0.39 x h 4.71 .. You will have to unlink the with and height to get this size… using the Cricut I would hand cut these strips (see picture) just between 1/3 inches wide and just shy of 4 4/3 inches long.
Rectangle cut @ w 4.75 x h 1.55...you will need to unlink the width and height to get this cut and select real dial size…. Using the Cricut I would cut this at width 4 ¾ inche and height 1 ½ plus 2/16 on my paper cutter.
Squares cut @ h 1.30 inches be sure you are not on real dial size and that your width and height are relined… Using the Cricut I would cut these square with my paper trimmer at 1 ¼ plus 2/16 for the width and height.

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 inside only….. I cut all of these with my paper trimmer.

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!

The Missing Piece

Designed by Jeannie Phillips
Southside, Al
I made a card for Craig earlier but didn't like it... we had cake for him and Sharon at work today so I made him a new one!!.... Craig had to pass a test before he could do his practice teaching and graduate.... it was a hard test... he took it 4 times ... we were all so excited when he passed this time..... so I though this puzzle piece with the male teacher on it would be wonderful for Craig a card.... masculine cards are so hard!!.... so I was tickled when this one turned out... only my second time to do circle text.... I was so excited that it turned out so well!!.... thanks for looking! (My camera was messing up and I was in a hurry so I didn't get good pictures this morning... made the card before work...now that is love! lol... I did get a new camera tonight!)

Craig's Card

Craig, this sweetheart of a young man at work, is going to be a High School History teacher... to do his student teaching and graduate he had to pass this extensive history test.... he took it for the 4th time 3 weeks ago.... and yes he PASSED! ... we were so excited for him that I just had to make him a card... but I am not sure I like this one.... I put clear embossing on the white background paper to make it look like a dry erase board.... it has the heart in it .... it just seems so plain... maybe I feel that way because its a guy card!!.... anyway I hope he likes it!!... thanks for looking. ~~ Jeannie

Dude You Rock


My son John-Robert will be 21 on the 21st... he is such an odd delightful mixture of a person you could meet... He is an RA camp counselor and has been since he was 15..a camper since age 8 and he loves it ..it is his passion..part of why he is becoming a teacher is so he can do this for the rest of his life...he also loves Heavy Metal music and delights in finding inspirational lines in the lyrics... and one of my favorite things about him is he believes "happiness is a choice, you can always find the good in something, always. I choose to find the good I choose to be happy"...he know I hate skulls and likes to tease me about them so he will be so surprised by this card... I hope he loves it... thanks for looking ~~Jeannie

Graduation Card..



This I made for someone who was in our life for 3 of his 5 college years... I hope he likes it... I used my Cricut E to cut the camera from Going Places at 2.5 inches... the tag is from George cut at 4 inches ...then with 4 inches w/ shadow....then at 3.75 inches and 3.75 inches with shadow... I used Liquid Glass on the lense part of the camera.....I was proud of this one because guy cards are so hard to do.

Thanks for looking
