Oops on the video this time... I thought I had my camera off... it was on... thought I had it on... it was off... so no video...I messed it all up... a lesson in paying closer attention!!... smile!

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 daughter's birthday card... she and her dad are in PC Florida this week...they go together ever year... (I can't get in the sun because of my Lupus and my son is at camp all summer).. they love the beach... my son and I go to Gatlinburg ever spring break...we love the mountains.  Anyway they are at the beach and Robby said Madison had been talking about sea monsters...I imagine that talk all got started because of the oil spill.. Madison's birthday is June 30th... so I knew just what kind of card I was making her this year...I so hope that she loves it!! Thank you so much for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY
Mini Monster
Sea Monster and all its layers cut @ h 2.06 set the height and the width will be right... on the Cricut I would cut this @ 2 inches.
Life is a Beach
Wave borders (3) cut @ w 3.50 x h 0.69 on real dial size!  each of these borders are welded to different height rectangle cuts.... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 3/4 and inch...I would trim this do to the width I need... you may have to cut two per layer and overlap them...glue them together and trim to a width of 3 1/2 inches.
George (unlink you width and height for these cuts)
Wave Rectangles...all are cut @ w 3.50.. here are the heights for each tall wave rectangle h 2.82, medium wave rectangle h 2.61 and small wave rectangle h 2.34... cut all these cuts on real dial size.... these are each welded to the wave cuts listed above ...see mat shot... using the Cricut I would cut these with a paper trimmer... I would cut the all the rectangles at 3 1/2 inches wide... then the heights at 2 3/4, 2 1/2 and 2 inches.
George (unlink your width and height for these cuts)
Sand cut two  welded oval  cut @ w 1.67 x h 2.20...non welded oval cut @ w 1.40 x h 2.10.  Rectangle cut @ w 3.50 x h 1.60... small rectangle on the side...not welded cut @ 3 0.30 x h 1.0  ... Using the Cricut I would cut a rectangle 3 1/2 inches x 4 inches...then I would use a wave cuter to cut the wave across the top of the cut.
Create a Critter
Happy Birthday cut @ w 2.69 x h 1.35...make sure that real dial size is not set and that your link button is yellow for this cut... on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 1/4 inch.

The bottom wave is adhered directly to the background piece...then the sea monster's tail is adhered to that... pop dot the middle wave from that...and the top wave is pop dotted from the middle wave... adhere the sand (after you have added the happy birthday, and glitter) to the top wave... adhere the sea monster's head to the water above the wave.

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.







There is now a link at the bottom of each post where you can show off your recreation of my cards… with a link back to your card on your blog, or the Cricut Message Board or a photo storage place like Photo Bucket…. I would love it if you share your recreations with me! It just makes me happy!! Thank you so, so much! Hugs

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!

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.

I just have to tell you this card stumped me all week long… all week!!… I have been frozen about making this card and it has kept me from making a card all week long!!… it is the first time that I used mini monsters.. Which I love!! And I just let these little fellows get the best of me…. I do suggest that you cut a couple of these out in larger sizes to practice on, it will get it all clear in your head and be less intimidating!.. They really aren’t hard… once you make one for the first time.

This card is for my dear husband for Father’s Day…I hand did the inside to remind him of when our grown up kids were just little kids…I so hope that he loves it.

*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! You can add your picture from your blog, the Cricut Message Board, or a photo storage place like Photo Bucket….Thank you so, so much for looking!  Don’t forget to add your pictures!!!… that just makes me happy!!
Hugs, Jeannie
CRICUT & GYPSY
*Cricut cuts or this card are not included because of all the welding and other changes on this card.
Mini Monsters
The word “Monsters.” its shadow cut and its layer cut  cut @ w 4.59 x h 1.99...to get this measurement you will have to unlink the width and height… weld the shadow cut of the Monsters to the shadow cut of the word monster… see mat shot below.
Monster with wings and all it’s layers cut @ h 1.52..set the height and the width will be right…be sure and re-link your width and height first.
The other Monster and its layers  cut @ h 1.52...set the height and the width will be right.
Gypsy Font
“our” and its shadow cut @ h 1.49 set the height and the width will be right… I welded the u and r together on the shadow first then on the letters … I welded the shadow cut of our to the phrase cut of Monsters.
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.

On the Video for this card (at bottom of this post) I try to explain the layering really good…I hope it helps you!
