Fall Scarf and Boggin with Needle Felted Leaf and Acrons

Designed by Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, Al

I am so excited about this scarf and hat!!...it is my favorite yet...I am learning... I learned how to do the knit stitch on my !!looms for my patches... and I am so excited... now if I just get better at felting them before I put the design on them.... I used my Gyspy and Cricut for templates for my Needle Felting and am so excited about how it turned out!!... thank you so much for looking... now to find something to do with these hats and scarfs that I am making!

Gypsy and Cricut

Gypsy Wandering

Leaf cut @ w 2.20 x h 2 27.. with the hide contour feature used to hide the lines in the leaf....I cut this leaf  inside a square from George... (to create the template) ...the square is cut @ w 3.15 x h 3.15... on the Cricut I would cut the leaf @ 2 1/4 inches and the square @ 3 1/4 inches.

Winter Woodland

Acorn cut @ w 0.94 x h 4.52  (this is not too large I promise)... I cut this inside a square from George that was cut @ w 1.59 x h 1.40...on the Cricut I would cut the acorn @ 4 1/2 inchs and the square @ 1 1/2 inches.

I am really enjoying the Needle felting it is just so much fun... I used a light brown on the bottom of the acorn..and a dark brown for the top and the steam...... and a burn orange color for the leaf...and the same dark brown for the veins and steam on the leaf.. these are just super easy to do.

I am so excited it is supposed to snow tomorrow!!!...Remember this is Alabama... so snow is rare!!! ... and there is no telling if we will get it... but at least there is a chance!!... and I am so excited... so I celebrated with a snowman card... I love the Winter Woodland snowmen... I just love them... they make me just plain happy!!... happy!!... happy!! ... happy!.. thanks so much for looking and I cherish your comments! Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Winter Woodland

Snowman, his shadow and layers all cut @ h 3.24.

If you set the height on these the width will be right on all cuts.

On the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 1/4 inches.

When It's Cold Outside

Snowflake and its shadow cut @ h 3.36.

If you set the height on both the width will be right.

I welded the shadows of the snowmen to the snowflake and the snowflake shadow.

On the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 1/2 inches... you wouldn't have to weld the shadows you could just adhere them directly to the snowflake cuts and get the same effect.

I have been looking at this little pine cone branch for a while now trying to figure out how to use it... finally I came up with this... hope you like it... all the delegate cuts I trusted only to Basicgrey paper.... it always cuts out so pretty... so the words and that delegate little branch is from a Basicgrey paper pack... the other beautiful paper is from My Minds Eye- A Signature Christmas- Holiday Glitter Pack I am crazy about this paper...its just amazingly beautiful. I hope you like my card! Merry Christmas! .. Hugs, Jeannie

If you are using your Cricut cut these cuts I am doing my best to get the best measurements... I have done this by trial and error...so bare with me while I work out my mistakes..I think I have all the cuts right on this card for the Cricut~ Thanks Jeannie

Advanced Card

Winter Woodland Cartridge

I started with the finished simple card from Monday’s card.

Then I cut a second tree @ 5 ½ inches... and 4 more snow layers at 5 ½ inches.

I cut 3 more birds ...on the flipped feature.

I cut several more snowflakes...of each kind.

I cut the snowman @ 2 3/4 inches... 2 times in white and 2 times in red on the shift feature and once in yellow on the layer feature and once in yellow on the shift-layer feature.

I trimmed three branches from my new tree...added the snow to different branches than before and bent out the limbs... popped this tree from the fist tree with pop-dots.

I then inked the ground snow layers and glued two ground snow layers together as wide as the blue background paper... I did this twice.

I attached the first new layer of snow to the popped tree base..then I added the white showman inked in blue ink to the snow base with glue and popped the top part of the snowman from the background paper.

I then popped the last layer of ground snow with pop-dots.

I assembled the second snowman... adding his inked scarf and buttons directly to him...along with one of the red hats... I used a sharpie for his eyes...and pink chalk applied with a make-up q-tip to his cheeks..then I added a dot of white gel ink to each cheek.

I added the yellow strip to the second hat...inking both the strip of yellow and the hat in brown..I popped this hat up from the first hat with pop-dots... then I glued the snowman bottom to the top snow layer and pop-dotted the top of the snowman to the snowman below.

I added the extra birds..glueing them to the popped layers only at their feet.

I used leftover branch snow on the inside of the card for the pile of snow the inside bird is laying on...and added a snowflake.

All snow parts are inked in blue ink...all other parts are inked in brown.

GIFT TAGS

For my gift tags I wanted to try my new Cricut Cuttables to emboss my tags.... I was so excited when this worked out just the way I wanted it to!

1. I cut the Snowman (page 47) of the Winter Woodland cartridge...I cut him on blackout into the Cricut Cuttables sheet.

2. I cut out my tag (page 33) form the Winter Woodland cartridge once in white @ 3 inches on real dial size and once in red @ 3 1/4 inches on real dial size.

3. I cut snowman layers on the shift feature in green and on the layer feature in red all on 2 inches.

4. I embossed the white tag with the snowman Cricut Cuttables embossing folder.

5. I added the scarf, hat and heart to the snow man. I then inked the tags with brwon ink around the edges and assambled the tag and added the ribbon.

Christmas With the Cricut - Home Decor Project

This is my Tuesday Project for Christmas With the Cricut...I can't wait to see the other projects... especially Susan's...I know that she is really excited so be sure and check hers out... I really love doing the glass etching...its really quick... and dresses up an in-expensive item and makes it really special!... hope you like my Home Decor Project... thank you so much for looking!... Hugs, Jeannie

Etched Votive Cup
Materials
In First Picture.
2 pieces of 8 1/x x 11 white card stock
1 Zyron Machine
1 Stylus
1 votive cut bought at Hobby Lobby
In Second Picture
Etching Cream
Foam Brush
Not Pictured
Cricut
Gypsy
Winter Woodland Cartridge
I cut 4 sets of trees from the Winter Woodland Cartridge w 2 ½ x h 2 ½ inches.
I trimmed around these at ½ inches out from each side...making the square 3 inches x 3 inches (pictured).
I ran each square through my Zyron (pictured).
I used the stylus to trace around the inside of the image and the outside of the square... and then I ran the side of the stylus across the whole image several times... this was to insure that all the sticky stuck good to the paper.
I then pealed away the Zyron papers... attached to my votive cup... and added the Etching Cream (pictured).. Let that set for 5 minutes...or by the instructions of your brand of Etching Cream... rinse off well with warm water ... this will ruin the paper but not the glass... and that is ok.
Clean your glass... (better than I did).

Christmas With the Cricut - Simple Card

I was lucky enough to get picked to do a week of designs over at Christmas With the Cricut I was just blown away.... the first day we do a simple card... a beginner typ card... and later in the week we do a more advanced card...what I chose to do was to start with the simple card...and show you later in the week how to layer this card up and make it more interesting... so check back each day with me and with Christmas With the Cricut and see what all is going on... and you must see Susan's beautiful work too!!.. Hugs, Jeannie
