This title page is meant to be used for a long overdue Heritage album that I will be making with some old family photos. I welded four corner elements from the Heritage cartridge to form the frame The wonderful swirly tree and the words are also from the Heritage cartridge.
This frame would work for many projects. I think it has an art nouveau look with the stylized swirls. You can see all of the details and download the free .cut file on the Scrappy-Go-Lucky blog. Here is a LINK to the post.
The big excitement today was the long awaited release of a major upgrade to the Gypsy. Here is a LINK to the site where you can get the latest information and download the new Gypsy Sync program. You can read the press release about the update HERE.
I was able to complete all of the updates successfully and I have been impressed with the upgrades. The most important addition (in my opinion) is the addition of "hide selected contour" to the Gypsy. I will definitely be using the Gypsy much more frequently with this feature added.
The price of the Gypsy has fallen drastically - I have seen several places selling it for around $100. With this latest upgrade I believe that the value of the Gypsy has risen to surpass the cost - the two exclusive cartridges are the icing on the cake (or should I say cupcake!). I'll be posting more Gypsy information and files to share now that I can use it to create the types of designs I most enjoy making (which nearly always involve "hide selected contour").
Have a wonderful holiday weekend - I started it off with a "Girl's Night Out" at the movies (you can probably guess which movie!). The weather is supposed to be beautiful here so we'll be doing lots of outdoor activities - but I will test out some Gypsy cuts sometime this weekend).

Diane, I'm struggling with making the colors show up in preview mode. Can you walk me through the process? I set the preview color, but that does not make anything change except the little pop up box. What do I need to do to see the colors in preview mode?

I love seeing what you do with the Heritage cartridge. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteI just got the Heritage cartridge and love what you did with the Family Tree!! I am hosting a family reunion in a mo. at our church with 102 cousins coming and just cut your file out to frame and set on the table where the family scrapbooks wlll be on display. Thank you so much, I love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteWelding those corners to create this frame is brilliant and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for sharing your fantastic ideas!
Hi sugarsherri,
ReplyDeleteThe photo app on the Gypsy is basically just a photo storage/viewer right now. Some people are using it as a handy way to keep sketches or photos of projects they want to make with their Gypsy.
I imagine that there will be more functionality added as they continue to update the Gypsy (no inside info - just a guess).
If you need help uploading photos just let me know.
Debbie,
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to see color on items that are welded?
If you have welded the images, you will see just the dark outline of the cutting path. Color is the clue that you forgot to check weld.
To see what a welded design will look like in various colors, I duplicate the design on another mat and make sure that weld is not checked on the images (I mark this on the tab PREVIEW ONLY so I don't accidentally cut it and end up with a mess!).
Please let me know if you are still having trouble.
Thank you so much for that little bit of inspiration...if you have some instructions on uploading the photos i d love to listen. Thanks again for all you do

what a great design! that will look awesome as your title page to your album! Love that tree in the background!
ReplyDeleteDiane, you are awesome! Yes, I was trying to see it on welded items - and had never tried it on an non-welded cut. As soon as I "un-welded" them, I could see the preview color. Now I just need to play with it a while to get it all figured out. Thanks a bunch, Debbie (from Sugar Land)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the tree on this cartridge! I can't wait to own a gypsy someday and then I'll be on this site constantly trying to figure things out. You have such great info here.
ReplyDeleteI have always found you so gracious with your help and inspiration. I sure hope it continue because I am waiting on my Silhoutte to arrive and I am so excited about it and I know I eill need HELP. I think that my Cricut(s) and the Silhoutte will get along just fine.
