I was happy how this turned out... its a fun card... you have to love a fun card!!... and it gave me a chance to you Create a Critter which I love but have not used very much.... I did not make a video this time... did a run through and just could not explain things clearly enough so I passed on a video this time...but do hope to make more in the future... thank you so much for looking ... love your comments... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Create a Critter

Lamb and its layers cut @ h 1.64 set the height and the width will be right on all cuts... I did leave out the second layer from the bottom..the one with the cut outs for the eyes and mouth because I wanted the lamb to be just black and white... ...so I left out that layer and drew the face on will a Jelly Roller white pen.....on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 1/2 inches.

Sentimentals

Scalloped circles (found on the charm option key) each cut on real dial size the large one cut @ h and w 2.91, the medium one cut @ h and w2.62, smaller one cut @ h and w 2.33... here is the trick I learned so I wouldn't have to figure out quarter inches when the cuts weren't in quarter inches... I started with the large scalloped circle at 3 inches...then I duplicated that and changed the size to 2.75 inches...then I duplicated that and changed the size to 2.5 inches... layered them on top of one another and grouped them...then I put these in the center of a rectangle the size of my background piece of paper... this you can delete before you cut.... I used the button that changes the size down until I got it the size I wanted...it kept all the scalloped circles in proportion and I didn't have to do the math... then you can ungroup the scalloped circles and move them were you want them on the mat.... on the Cricut I would cut the circles at 3 inches then 2 3/4 then 2 1/2 inches all on real dial size.

George

Circle cut on real dial size @ 1.99 inches... on the Cricut  I would cut this at 2 inches on real dial size.

Heart cut @ w 0.65 x h 0.79...on the Cricut I would cut this at 3/4 and inch.

Plantin Schoolbook

Scalloped edge cut @ w 2.99 x h 0.44... I welded two of these together... group them then go back and change your height to 4.75 inches.. this is the height of your background piece... on the Cricut I would cut 2 of these at 1/2 an inch and trim off the part I didn't need.

Wild Card

"ewe" cut @ h 1.89...set the height and the width will be right... move the letter where they overlap a bit and weld them together... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 3/4 inches.

 *The rest of the paper in the background I cut with my paper trimmer as follows

Frame piece cut @ 4 x 5 1/3 inches

Striped paper cut @ 3 1.4 x 3 3/4 inches

Paisley paper cut @ 1 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches

Card base is 4 1.4 x 5 1.2 inches

Noel (Shaped Card) for The Gypsy Spot

Designed by Jeannie Phillips - Southside, AL

Over at The Gypsy Spot this week we were to design a Christmas Card... this was in my head a couple of days and I was really excited when it turned out right "in" paper.... I must admit it did take me some time to get everything in all the layers lined up just right...but the effort was worth it.... I used the page feature on this card to line everything up just right...to get the photos of each page all I had to do was use the "eye" feature on the Gypsy that shows how the page is going to cut...although the inside "looks" really simple... it was a little complicated when I was creating it so I am extra proud of the inside... Be sure and hop on over to The Gypsy Spot and see what the other Design Team members have created this week... I am just so excited!... Thank you so much for looking!... Merry Christmas Everybody!!... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Because of all the welding I will not be including Cricut cuts for this card.

The NOEL Sizes

Page 1

Plantin Schoolbook

"n" cut @ w 2.99 x h 5.96 its shadow is cut @ w 3.21 x h 5.96.

I used a lower case letter for the "n" and stretched it tall so you will have to unlink the w x h of this letter to get the right shape.

Learning Curve

"o" cut @ h 3.95 set this height on the regular cut and the regular cut and the width will be right on both cuts.

"e" cut @ h 3.95 set the height on shadow and the regular cut and the width will be right on both cuts.

Christmas Cheer

"L"

"L" is the Candy Cane cut cut this at h 3.60 set the height on the regular, shadow and layer cuts and the width will be right on all cuts.

Oh Baby

I have been wanting to play!!!...play!!!... with my Gypsy.... I am obsessed!!!... the scalloped edge wouldn't weld once flipped so I welded it to my George rectangle then rotated it and it worked! ... So I am learning....I am really proud of this one... because of the welding...and the wholes in the scalloped edge.... I hope that you like it too!!!... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT

Stamping

"Oh Baby" cut @ w 5.0 x 2.41.

"Oh Baby" Shadow cut @ h 4.91 x h 2.41.

You do not have to figure out the difference in sizes that works... just pick both the cuts together and they will be the right size to fit together and grouped... so once you get it the size you want it you can now ungroup them and fit them on the page where you want them to be.

Baby Buggy cut @ w 1.44 x h 1.63.

Baby Buggy Shadow cut @ 2 1.53 x 1.63.

Same applies as above to get the shadow.

Swirl cut @ w 5.0 x h 1.21.

George

Rectangle cut @ w 2.75 x h 5.0.

I then rotated it on the page how I wanted it.

Circles inside the scalloped cut cut @ w 0.40 x h 0.37.

Plantin Schoolbook

Scallop cut @ w 5.02 x h 0.89

I welded the scallop to the rectangle...but did not weld the circles to the scallop.

The circles are easy to put in the scallop when you zoom in! This is a picture of how the mat looked when I cut out my pieces..the items in red are welded together.

This is a picture of my saved screen with my notes... once I got it like I wanted it I saved it under Save As......the words in the top right hand side are the carts I used...the bottom is how I wanted the card to look with all its pieces..the extra pieces are for the inside or pieces that other items were pop-dotted from... ex. the baby buggy shadow... I wanted to pop the baby buggy twice..so I popped the shadow from the background and then the green buggy attached to the pink shadow cuts and popped it from the the pink shadow buggy that was already popped from the background page...when I got ready to cut I spread all the cuts on the mat after I had saved the file... then cut... when prompted to save changes put NO and you will save this screen.

Hint: If you save you cut file under the same name as you give your card on your blog it will be much easier to find.... I have gone back and changed the name once I have posted to keep my cards and my files with the same name.
