Making a Shaped Card for Printable Cuttable Creatables

        Hello, my friends!

I know things have been a little quiet around here lately,
but today I'm happy to share a new project for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

I'm going to share how I use these great cut files,
along with Cricut Design Space, to make a fun shaped card!
I've got lots of photos for you, as I took some screen shots along the way.

I have used:

Honey Bee SVG Collection 

Here's my card:

I think shaped cards are so much fun to make.
I began by choosing my shape...in this case it was the fun hive.

I imported it into Cricut Design Space,
as both a print then cut file, and a cut file.

Here I have changed the color of the cut file to the cardstock color I will use. 
Since my hive is sized to 5.5" tall, I size the shape to 5.75" tall.

I then move the hive out of the way, and duplicate the shape.
One is the front of the card, and the other is the back of the card.
Just in case the shape is not totally symmetrical, I give it a flip.
This ensures that the edges of the card will match perfectly when folded.

Next, I decide where I will attach my front and back.
I decide to attach them at the top.
I rotate the shapes to do this, so I could get everything in frame.

I then position the shapes so they are just touching at the top,

where I want them to be hinges.

I then highlight both shapes, and click on "Combine".
You'll find this in the bottom right corner.
I list of options pop up, and I choose "Weld".

...and just like that the pieces are connected.
Simply score the hinge, and you have a really fun shaped card!

All the other elements I used were done with the "print then cut" option.
Once they were cut, I inked the edges and adhered them to the card base.

To finish things off, I added some glitter glue to the bee wings,
and a little drop to the antennae.

I then added another printed and cut element to the inside of the card!

It's so easy to make fun shaped cards using these simple steps.
Take a look through the shop and see what inspires you to make one!
Have fun!

Now, let's move on to my project!

This is a fun little mini album that would be perfect to document 

the birthday of a little princess.
I began by making a white cardstock album base. 

I then printed out the pages I wanted from the Fairy Tale Princess Digital Paper Pack.

I cut them to fit my pages and adhered them in place.

I used the Birthday Princess Free SVG File for the title on my front cover.
I also added the castle.

I then went through the Fairy Tale Princess SVG File and Clipart Set,

and chose all the elements I wanted to use.
I imported them into Cricut Design Space and sized them to fit.
I then used the print/cut feature for all the resized elements.

Then it was just a matter of inking the edges

and adhering them to the pages. 

I added pockets to a couple of the pages, and cut some tags to fit into them.
Most of the elements are only partially adhered.
This means that photos or journaling cards can be tucked in behind them.

Since all the elements are from the same kit,

everything coordinates beautifully. 

I took time and care in cutting the pockets, so the design is seamless.
When the pages were all finished,

I went through and added some pretty touches of glitter glue.

Finally, I tied wrapped some sparkly ribbons around the spine,
and tied them in a pretty bow!

You can find a Prince Collection in the shop HERE.

There are so many wonderful collections in the shop!
They're ideal for fun little mini albums!

Welcome Spring with Printable Cuttable Creatables

       Hello, my friends!

It's time for a new project share for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

I decided it was time to begin a Spring themed 8 x 8 album.
Today I am sharing the title page that I have created for that album,
using a combination of fun cut files from the shop.

I have used:

Welcome Spring Banner,
(free file)

Birds and Branches SVG Files,

and Pretty Bird House SVG File.

Here's my project:

I really had fun putting all these little cut bits together!
In real life my background paper is a light green.
For some reason it shows more turquoise in my photos,
and the bird and birdhouse are seeming to blend in.

Here's a closer look at the banner:

Here's a closer look at the bird on the branch, and the birdhouse:

Aren't all the little flowers adorable?
They add such a lovely dimension to the page.
Of course, I had to go in and add a little sparkle with the rhinestone centers. 

Individually, each of these files would make a great project.
However, they really work beautifully when all combined on the same page!

Slimline Easter Card for Printable Cuttable Creatables

       Hello, my friends!

I'm back with another Easter Card for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

Today I'm sharing how I combined a sweet print/cut image,
along with a great cut file, to make a fun slimline card.

I have used:

 Girl Bunny Holding Easter Egg File;

and Happy Easter Title.
(Free File)

Here's the finished card:

Isn't that cute?

Here's how I did it:

I think this sweet bunny is adorable!
The collection includes an SVG file.
However, to cut it out in this size would be a little bit fiddly.
I sized it down to fit on the end of my slimline card front.
I then used the print/cut option.
Then I backed it with my card base.

I sized my title to fit on the other side of the card.
I then cut it out of these fun cardstock colors that worked well with the image.

I centered them in the space on my card, and adhered them in place.
Then all that was left was to add a bit of sparkle!

I filled in all the letters with Diamond Stickles...

and then went on to add some to parts of the image

 

There you have it!
A fun slimline Easter Card!

This was another really fun one to put together. 
A card doesn't need to be all cut out, or all printed.

Consider combining the two options to make a quick and easy card,

that looks a little bit more interesting!

I know that it's Good Friday tomorrow
but this card is simple enough that you still have time to make it!

I wish you all a Very Blessed Easter!

Beatrix Potter Tags for Rach and Bella Crafts

     Hello, my friends!

I'm still busy working on my journal project for Rach & Bella Crafts!

In the meantime, I have been making some additional journal bits.
This time I am sharing some fun tags, using:

The Works of Beatrix Potter

These would be lovely tucked into a Beatrix Potter journal,
or even a Spring/Easter journal!

 Here they are:

I used the tags from the kit, and backed them with cardstock.
The images and words were all fussy cut from the kit.
I tucked a bit of cheesecloth behind each image for some added texture.

To finish things off I added a sparkly ribbon bow to the top of each tag.

Quotes from the kit were added to the back of each tag.

Here's another set:

The back of those:

These were lots of fun to put together! 
There's room on the back to add some journaling too!

Happy Easter with Printable Cuttable Creatables

      Hello, my friends!

It's time for another Easter project for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

This time I've used a wonderful SVG file to make a fun Home Decor item for Easter.
I have a cute stand that I use to display things like this,
and change them up for the season.
 
I have used:

Happy Easter Digital Paper Pack;

Woven Easter Basket SVG and Clipart;

and Scroll Banners SVG.

Here's my project:

Isn't that a sweet file?
It was so much fun to put together,
and there's nothing better than a pastel plaid background!

The basket file does include a lovely little bow to add to the basket handle.
However, when I saw the fabulous banner file I just had to use it!
There are SO MANY banner options included!
It was easy to pick one that fit perfectly on my project!

My finished project measures eight inches square.
The basket weave is so intricate and delicate but cut like a dream!

I used some alphabet stamps from my stash to add the "happy easter" to the banner.
Unfortunately, the capital letters I had were too big to fit. ;o)

This project will be lovely displayed in my stand for the Easter Season!
