I was at Wanda's the other day...she had instructions on how to make this adorable little elf with punches from Stampin-Up... they were just adorable... but you know me... I am a Cricut person through and through!!..so I had to get out my Gypsy and make one on the same principal but with my Cricut cartridges... I was excited with how it turned out... if I make it again I will weld the collar piece to the "card" card piece so it will stand up right... I hope you like it... thank you so much for looking.   Hugs and Merry Christmas, Jeannie

CRICUT  & GYPSY

Storybook

Bookplate Shapes cut @ w2.80 x h 4.o ...On the Cricut I would cut this at 4 inches.

I also cut an extra bookplate shape for the inside of the card...this is cut @ w 2.43 x h 3.47 ...on the Cricut I would cut this piece at 3 3/4 inches.

Pooh &Friends

Santa Hat and its layers cut @  h 3.o the width will be right if you set the height...on the Cricut I would cut this @ 3 inches (I think).

Paper Doll Dress Up

Hair cut @ w 3.27 x h 4.54... you will have to unlink the width and height to get the size.... On the Cricut I am not sure what to cut this at because I stretched it both way on my Gypsy.

George

Triangles for collar cut @ w 2.32 x h 0.81..I again unlinked the width and height to get this shape and welded the shapes together... using the Cricut you could use 2 ovals for the collar.

Ovals for eyes cut @ w 0.59 x h 1.11 I cut the skin colored one in half...on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 inch or maybe 1 1/4 inches.

Circles for eyes (which look like diamonds in the picture) cut @ w o.54 x h 0.51... on the Cricut I would cute these at 1/2 inch.

Circle for nose cut @ w ).49 x h 0.45 ... on the Cricut I would cut this @ 3/4 and inch.

Hearts for ears cut @ w 1.66 x h 1.30 and welded to the Bookplate shape ... on the Cricut I would cut the hearts @ 1 1/4 inch you will just need one cut in half and glued from the back.

For the card shape I welded the hearts to the book plate cut then grouped and duplicated this and flipped the duplicated piece up and placed it just overlapping to make the card.

If using the Cricut I would cut an extra bookplate and score it 1/2 inch from the top..and only adhear it above the score line to make a card.

All images in red are welded.

Thanks

My dear friend, Wanda called today...asked me to design her a thank you card.... I wanted it to be special because she is so very special... keep her in your prayers she is very sick and needs your prayers... this is the card I came up with... I hope that she likes it.... I am going to have to run to Hobby Lobby and make sure I can find her these papers... if I can't its back to the Gypsy drawing board to design another... thank you so much for looking!!... and remember to keep Wanda in your prayers.  Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Walk in My Garden

Vases cut @ w 1.19 x h 2.27 on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 1/4 inches.

I cut 2 vases and popped one from the other...the bottom vase is popped from the background paper.

Stretch Your Imagination

Leaf Spray (behind the rose) cut @ w1.19 x h 2.27 on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 1/4 inches.

I trimmed off the bottom leafs to make these fit right in the vase.

Wild Card

Rose cut @ w 2.71 x h 3.80 on the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 3/4 inches.

I cut one of these in red and one in green...trimmed the red rose off the red one and popped off the green cut.

Opposites Attract

"Thanks" cut @ w 3.88 x h 1.04.

"Thanks" Shadow cut @ w 3.85 x h 1.03.

You will have to unlink the width and height to get this cut... but do not use real dial size.

On the Cricut I would cut this on upright at 1 inch.

The background pieces of paper are cut at 5.25 x 4 then 4.75 x 3.5 and 4.25 x 3.

I used a corner punch I have to punch the corners... I popped the top piece from the piece  below it and the second peice from the piece below it.

Just a Little News

Goodmorning...and Merry Christmas... its been a busy week at my house ... as many of you know  on Monday I found out my mom only has 2 to 3 years she has COPD really bad...and my dad (not married to my mom) had surgery on his back/neck on Tuesday... he did wonderfully!! ....and we start Christmas this weekend..and even though I was ahead I got behind and have been rushing, rushing, rushing... Hopefully next week I will get to make a card or two...don't give up on me!!!... keep us in your prayers.

Hugs  and Love and Merry Christmas!

Noel (Shaped Card) for The Gypsy Spot

Designed by Jeannie Phillips - Southside, AL

Click on any picture to enlarge.

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

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.
