I saw this cut from Gypsy Wanderings with the music notes in it and the card grew from there...I just loved this cut!!... this was not one of those cards where I felt I knew just what it was going to look like when I finished....I was so excited when I finished and was so tickled with the outcome.... thank you so much for looking... I thrive on your comments!!... have a wonderful day... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

*No Cricut cuts included on the card because of all the welding.*

Gypsy Wanderings

Bookplate cut with notes in it cut @ w 3.48 x h 4.45

Bookplate shadow blackout cuts for the shaped card (in red welded to the rectangles) cut @ w 3.95 x h 4.45... I placed one on the mat and welded a square from George @ w 3.42 x h 1.0..you have to unlink the width and height to get this size...

weld and group these two shapes
Bookplate background cut...that goes behind the Bookplate note cut cut @ w 3.95 x h 4.45.
Frame Bookplate for inside of card cut @ w 3.37 x h 3.80.
Top Bookplate cut for inside of card cut @ w 2.97 x h 3.35.
Zooballoos
Branch and its layer cut @ w 3.79 x h 1.37.
I cut two extra layers in green so I would have the extra leaves... I welded one of  regular branch cuts  onto the Bookplate Note cut to have a good place to pop dot the branch from.
Home Decor
Bird and its shadow cut @ h 1.63 ...set the height and the width will be right...I placed an extra shadow from the bird on the Bookplate Note cut and welded it there so have a good place to pop dot the assembled bird and its shadow to...the other bird is on the inside of the card.
Songbird
All letters cut @ h 0.77 set the height and the width will be right...overlap the letters for each word and weld together.
There are two mat shots because I had to lay this out on two mats ...I did this best by  putting all the cuts on one mat...then I named the file and saved it... then I deleted the items I wanted on the second page...and saved it with a -1 added to the end of the file name... then I opend the file with all the cuts... removed the cuts alread on page one...and saved this file with a -2 at the end of the file name.

*Because of all the welding I wasn't able to include Cricut cuts for this card.*

CRICUT & GYPSY

From My Kitchen

Card cut (choose the shift button and the coffee cup feature key) cut @ w 3.65 x h 2.38...

Larger card cut for the inside cut @ w 3.65 x h 2.38... for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.

George

Rectangle for behind card cut @ w 2.36 x h 3.57... for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.

Larger sentiment rectangle cut @ w 2.19 x h 0.88 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.

Smaller sentiment rectangle cut @ w3.97 x h 0.63 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.

The sentiment is computer generated.

Triangle that creates the corners inside the card cut  cut @ w 0.90 x h 0.40 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.

Circle that creates the corners inside the card cut cut @ w 0.42 x h 0.32 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.

Weld these two shapes together...then duplicate and use the flip features for each corner...for the larger inside peace you will need to change the size of the grouped triangle and circle to w 1/17 x h 0.67 for this cut you will need to unlink the w & h.... you can duplicate this for each corner and flip each piece to  fit in the corners.

Walk in My Garden

Snail and its layer and shadow cut @ h 0.93 ...set the height on each and the width will be right...be sure to relink your w & h when you do this.

Easter 2010

Grass cut @ w 1.46 x h 1.0 ... place two on the mat and weld together for the length you need for inside your window.... before you weld these to the window duplicate and add a rectangle cut @ w 2.50 x h 0.21  from George to the bottom.. weld these three pieces together then duplicate.

The easiest way to get everything to line up on each layer is this....Place your card on the mat... then weld your grass to it...then weld the snail shadow to the grass...then weld 2 corners to the top.... group all of this together... duplicate... then delete the snail shadow... duplicate this and delete  your grass .... now for the tricky part... on the piece where you have deleted your grass and your snail click on this then click on your weld key.... click on the triangle to un-group just the triangle ...then click on the circle inside the triangle to un-group that... click on your group button again... now click on any clear space on your mat... then click your group button and click on your un-grouped triangle and your un-grouped circle... this will group just these two items together so you can duplicate them and make corners for the bottom of your top square...see mat.... after you get all your corners placed group everything together and make sure everything is welded.

CRICUT & GYPSY

Sentimental

Lamp its shadows and all 4 or its layers cut @ h 3.56... set the height and the widths will be right... the lamp shadow that isn't in red isn't welded to that small rectangle...its there to cut the right shape out in the rectangle to make the lamp layers sit right...I also liked the effect better.... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 4 inches... I wouldn't worry about the un-welded shadow cut.

Stamp shaped cuts cut @ w 1.46 x h 1.74... on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 3/4 inches.

Give A Hoot

Flourishes cut @ w 2.01 x h 0.65 ... on the Cricut I would cut these at 1/2 an inch.

Forever Young

Lady Silhouettes cut @ w 0.66 c h 1.40.. do not weld this cut to the rectangle behind it...so it will be cut out of the center.... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 1/4 inch in black and glue on top of the square.

George

All the rectangles are actually squares cuts with the height and width off to get the sizes I needed.

Squares welded to the lamp shadows and grouped then cut @ w 0.66 x h 1.40...lay out one of these then duplicate so they will be exactly the same... pop the first one from the background... then pop the other from that... using the Cricut I would cut these on my paper trimmer at width 3.5 x h 1 3/4 an inch and then glue the shadow into place.

Smaller Square for the sentiment cut @ w 3.41 x h 1.52...place the lamp shadow over this... in the right place... but do not weld so you get the round cut in the corner...see picture.... to line this up right I placed it over the welded pieced... the grouped and moved...using the Cricut I would cut this on the paper cutter at a little little more than 3 inches x 1 1/2 inches.

Square with the silhouette cut out cut @ w 1.19 x 1.46 ...using the Cricut would cut these with the paper cutter 1/4 inch wider and taller than your stamp cut.

*The lamp shadow that is not welded is placed off the paper some because you don't need that  lamp except for what it does to the square.

Guard-in Angel (Story behind title)

The story is important to the title of this card... it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!!.. first I connect with a childhood friend on Facebook recently....and through our conversation we found out that we had shared so much more in childhood than we knew... it no wonder we were drawn to each other...so I wanted to make her a card and asked what she liked...she said Guardian Angels..so I thought how am I going to make this card without it being all formal.... I wanted something sweet and cute...then I remembered that once when my son was little he saw a snake in his Big Papaw's garden...we told him no to worry it was just a garden snake... he was delighted...being into superheroes as he was and said "oh a guard-in sake... they guard the garden!!!"...and that is how this card came to be... I remembered a stamp that I was thinking was a Cricut cut and imagine my dismay when I remembered it was a stamp...one that I didn't have!!... so when Joyce told me oh Jeannie you can make anything...I couldn't disappoint her!!...THANK YOU JOYCE... to make the angel I used the crawling baby from New Arrival... and butterfly wings from Pooh and Friends!!... and Raggedy Andy's hair from Paper Doll Dress Up..turned sideways a bit... so the left ear of the baby ended up being its nose!..I am so excited about my little angel!!...beyond excited...I hope that you like it!!... thank you so much for looking and for you comments!!...

This card came to me today when I was reading my daily Bible reading... the verse was Luke 11:34 "Your eye is a lamp that provides light for you body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is bad, your body is filled with darkness..."... I had the world and the lantern in my head but just couldn't figure out how to lay it out on my card... then I took a nap...and as many or you know a nap is when cards come together in my head... and when I say the background cuts in my head I woke up!!... and couldn't wait to get my card on paper... this is a very easy quick card!... I so hope that you like it!!.. I love your comments they mean the world to me!!... more than you could imagine... Hugs, Jeannie
