Have a Tag Party using Printable Cuttable Creatables

         Hello, my friends!

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

This time of year we all need some tags for our packages, right?
We also need some fun projects that we can do with the kids,
or something fun to do while spending time with friends and family. 
This idea fills both of those requirements!

Here's what I made:

Isn't that a fun assortment of tags?
They were so much fun to make!

I started with printing some lovely papers from the Christmas Treats SVG Scrap Kit.

Then I used the Christmas Sentiment Gift Tags Freebie to cut out a variety of tags.
The bonus with this file is that you then have the cut-out words to use on another tag.

Then I used the Christmas Gift Tags Free SVG File to cut out an assortment of green tags.

Again, the cut-out bits can be used on another tag.

Finally, I went through a pile of scraps on my table and cut a variety of plain cardstock tags.
These are all different sizes of rectangles with the corners snipped off.

Once I had a really good assortment of tags, I went back to the Christmas Treats SVG Scrap Kit.

I chose all the little clipart bits I wanted, and sized them to fit my tags. 
I then used the Print/Cut feature in Cricut Design Space to cut out all the fun images.

The kids would love to be involved in choosing their favorite images.

Now that you have all the pieces ready, it's time to have fun putting them together.

Here's a closer look at some ideas for you:

You can get as simple or as elaborate as you want with this step.
I used only glue and a black fine tip marker.

You could get much fancier with ink, glitter, bling, etc.
Finally, to finish them all off, I punched a hole in the top and added ribbon or twine.

The backs of the tags are free space for writing a personal message,

or adding a To/From stamp. 

This is just a fun Pre-Christmas project idea!

Get an item crossed off your to do list while making some fun memories of time spent together!

Here's my project:

I used the sled file from the Vintage Christmas SVG Bundle.

You can also get the sled file on it's own HERE.

I cut my sled to fit my A2 card base.
I then ran all the "wood" pieces through an embossing folder and inked the raised bits. 

Once it was assembled, I added it to my card base using foam tape.
The file includes small circles to use as the bolts. 

I chose to use Liquid Pearls instead, as they add some extra dimension and shine.

To finish things off, I added a little holly sprig, along with a red ribbon bow with bead.

It makes such a charming, vintage style card!

More Foiling Fun with Crafty Critta

 Hello, my friends! 

It's time for another foiled project using Crafty Critta products!

I've made another simple card, very similar to the last one I shared.
Toner foiling is so much fun!

 Here's my card:

I've taken several photos from different angles,
so you can see all the fabulous foiled colours.

This toner foil has such a beautiful shine!

The intricate sentiment is also foiled, with beautiful results!

 I had very good results using my simple office laminator.
However, there were some things I wanted to try that my laminator would not do.
So I went ahead and purchased the Your Best Mate Machine from Crafty Critta. 
Here's an unboxing video, where I tell you all about the machine.

I'll have another video very soon, where I show you how it works.
Just subscribe to my channel to receive notification of that.

Buzzing In with Dr Digi's

 Hello, my friends!

I'm very happy to be sharing a second project as Guest Design Team member for
Dr. Digi's House of Stamps!

If you're not familiar with Dr Digi's, it's an online shop that carries a wonderful - and fun -
assortment of digital images, papers, and sentiments. They also carry some fabulous cutting files!

Today I have combined a digital background paper,
along with two fabulous cutting files.

Here's my card:

Isn't that bee fabulous?!

I think it is my favorite cut file EVER!

It is so intricate and detailed!

I actually began by cutting my card base, using the shape feature in Design Space.
Top to bottom it measures 5 1/2 inches.
I printed the background paper out, and then cut it to mat on the card base.
Knowing I would just be using pieces of the honeycomb cut, I sized that at 6" square.
Once those pieces were all assembled, I measured the space left,
and sized my bee to fill it.

When the bee was adhered in place I did just a little embellishing.
I added big drops of Glossy Accents for the buggy eyes of the bee.
Then I used the Spectrum Noir Shimmer Marker to fill in the wings.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with these fabulous products!
Big thanks to Dr. Digi for having me as a Guest DT!

Dr.Digi's Files Used:

Distressed Drops Backing Paper;

Customizing a Cut File with Printable Cuttable Creatables

         Hello, my friends!

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

 One of the great benefits of using cut files
is how you can totally customize them to suit your own needs.
As I was snooping through the shop, I came across this wonderful train file.
Christmas trains are very nostalgic for me.
They bring up very special memories of past Christmases,
with my parents and three brothers.
I immediately thought it would make a great slimline card.

For my project today, I have used the Vintage Christmas SVG Bundle.
You can also find the train on it's own in the Christmas Train SVG File.

Here's my card:

Isn't that a great Christmas card?
It was so much fun to put together.

Sometimes when I see these cut files, I feel a little bit daunted because of all the pieces.
Print then Cut is always an option.
However, once you break things down, it's not really daunting at all.

Since this was a nostalgic project for me, I really wanted to use traditional Christmas colours.
This is where the customization began. 
I used Cricut Design Space for all my work.

Here is how the original file uploaded:

Here is how I customized it to my traditional colours:

Here are all the pieces after they were cut out:

Yes, there are lots of pieces but with the included instructions, and a bottle of glue,
it's easy peasy to put it all together! 

Once it was all adhered in place, it was easy to add to my glittery slimline card base.
Then I had an opportunity for further customization, with some fun embellishing!

Here on the engine, I added Stickles to the window, the bow ribbon, and the engine light.
I also added small red rhinestones to the wreath.

I also added Stickles to the star on top of the tree, and larger rhinestones to the tree.

This is a very special card to me now!
When you look at cut files, don't just look at what is there.
Look at how you can customize them to be what you need!

I Love Fall Most of All! - Printable Cuttable Creatables

         Hello, my friends!

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

Today I'm sharing another Fall themed card, that combines four files. 

I have used:

Autumn Harvest Digital Paper Pack;

I Love Fall Most of All SVG File; 

Fall is My Favorite Free SVG File;

To Go Coffee Cup SVG File.

Here's my project:

I decided to size my kraft card base at 5 x 7 inches,
since I had so much I wanted to fit onto it.
I then cut the Autumn Harvest Digital Paper at 4 7/8 x 6 7/8.

I inked the edges, and adhered it to my card base. 

Then I started with my cuts:

Here is a close-up look at the I Love Fall Most of All SVG File
adhered in place on the card.

Here's the To Go Coffee Cup SVG File.
This file includes a little heart.
For the season, I wanted a little pumpkin instead.

There were several pumpkin options in the shop.
I chose the Fall is My Favorite Free SVG File.
I just had to do a little surgery on the cut, and I had my perfect little pumpkin. 

 

Printable Cuttable Creatables is full of fabulous Fall files,
and they're all so much fun to create with!
