I know this is so much like a card I made two cards before this one… but I kept having that card and that paper in my head… and a card I made a long time ago… so I just combined those two cards and came up with this one… I am so excited at how it turned out!!!… If I had a blue room I would frame this one in a shadow box frame.. But I don’t… and I don’t know anybody that does… this so reminds me of the living room of the house I grew up in… the room that I got married in almost 30 years ago… it would have been so pretty in that room… oh I could cry right now… I hope that you love this card as much as I do… I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Create a Critter

Lamb and its layers cut @ h 1.64 set the height and the width will be right on all cuts...

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.

This is my The Gypsy Spot Design Team card for this week.... our mission was to use black and gold... the paper I chose for this project dictated its simplicity... I was really happy with how it turned out... it is for a young man that I use to work with... a very sweet, good, kind young man that I just love to death... so it needed to be masculine... and those are hard to do!!... hope that you like it!!...I hope that he does too.

GYPSY HINT

When you are stacking shapes like I did in this card, behind the graduation cap, get the shape you want... make it the size you want for the largest piece... then duplicate that shape... click the button that makes, a shape smaller, 2 times... repeat this process for each piece until you have as many stacks as you want.

This will give you perfect intervals between shapes.
