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

I have been looking at this cut (the swirly thing on the bottom of the shelf) thinking that this would be a beautiful shelf!!... so I flipped it and welded a rectangle to it... and made myself a shelf... but I couldn't thing what in the world I wanted to put on this shelf.... and while I was going through my cuts I came across this beautiful corner... that I have never been able to incorporate into any of my card before and this idea just came to me... it so reminded me of an old house with the phone in the hall on a shelf... with a chair sitting by it... so so sad that I am old enough to remember seeing such as this!!! lol... and this is the card I ended up with... I was quite tickled with the end result...and it was such an easy card... what an extra!!.. hope everyone is having such a wonderful day! ... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Stamping

Swirls for bottom of shelf cut @ w 3.65 x h 1.29 - on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 1/4 inches.

George

Rectangle for top of shelf is a square cut @ w 3.75 x h 0.30 on real dial size I cut this 3 times one of the rectangles is welded to the swirls to make the shelf and popped the the second from the shelf and the third one from the second- if I was using the Cricut I would cut this with a paper trimmer at w 3 3/4 x h 1/4 of an inch.

Sweethearts

Corner Filigree cut @w 2.82 x h 2.71 - on the Cricut I would cut this @ 2 3/4 inches.

From My Kitchen

Phone cut @ w 2.70 x h 1.79 I cut this twice so I could pop the top phone..from the top phone I cut the handset and the cord and used on the inside of the card - on the Cricut I would cut the phone @ 1 3/4 or 2 inches.

I also cut the layer feature of the phone to get the center tan oval of the phone.

The easiest way to get this the right size is to click on the phone and then pick your layer feature then they will be the right size. This is my mat before I cut... I moved the images that were to be black close together before I cut... the images in red are welded together.

Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Because of welding I didn't include the Cricut instructions.

Base Camp

1959 shadow Cut @ h 3.0 inches... width will be right if you just set the h at 3.o inches.

1959 regular numbers cut @ h 3.o inches width will be right if you just set the heigth.

George

Heart cut @ w 2.89 x h 2.60

Tiny Square for car tag cut @ w 0.48 x h 0.30.

Used a hand punch for the tiny heart.

Heart Shadows cut @ w 2.88 x h 2.16.

Rounded Square inside the card to hold the sentiment cut @ w 4.68 x h 2.33.

I welded this to the part of the card that is the back to make a place to put a piece of white paper for the sentiment....for now the circle still cut out of the center of the 9's I just popped them back in and put lots of adhesive on the back of my white piece.

Sweethearts

Car cut @ w 2.14 x h 1.88.

Car Shadow cut @ w 2.88 x h 2.16.

I built the shadow of the 1959 with the heart and car shadows and welded them and grouped them together then I duplicated the grouped items...and flipped them up.. since they were welded shapes already when you put them in place they will be welded.

I forgot to save the Judy & Paul it was cut with Alphalicious but I am not sure what size... see why its important to save your changes when you make them!...lol
