Happy Christmas - Digital cutting files

Tiffany and Jeryn here, teaming up to showcase one of Deena's older collections: Happy Christmas - cutting files. Did you know there are 20 different cuts and overlays? One of the greatest things about this collection is all the different file types: SVG, AI, GSD, JPG, and PNG.  If you don't have a digital cutting machine, don't worry. This kit is still fantastic to use in printable/hybrid way!  Here are a couple of projects our creative team came up with.

For this hybrid Hot chocolate sleeve, I used THIS GIFTCARD freebie cutting file and made it just big enough for a hot cocoa packet. Then I added on the stocking file, a multi-layered cut, which is one of my favorites in the kit. I love the layers. Add some ribbon, and off you go. What a quick and easy project. It took me about an hour to complete ten of them, even with all the glue.

Pair it up with a cute little travel mug and it makes a perfect little gift.

Every year the kids and I make handmade ornaments for the tree. Some I will make myself and some the kids will make on their own (with my help, of course). Using the rectangle tag I created quick and easy tags for this year's ornaments. After cutting on the Cricut, I stamped it, added glitter, added washi tape- which BTW is THE best thing on earth and added twine. This project took probably less than 30 minutes to complete. Easy peasy!

Because this was quick and easy I decided to create a garland for the tree. I have been wanting to make a paper garland for the tree for some time now so this was a perfect opportunity. 

The circle tags were created with paper from Merry and Bright and textured cardstock glued to one side. String some twine through them and you've got garland! You can also hang one end from the ceiling along with other strands in different lengths for a pretty flowy look. 

We're fast approaching Christmas so we're going to take a few days off to enjoy the holiday with our families. We'll be back next week! Until then, Deena Rutter and the team wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Freebie: Clover SVG cutting file

 

Hey! It's Tiffany here with a quick and easy hybrid project just in time for St. Patty's day this weekend. I used paper from Deena's Jolly Holiday collection at Design House digital. Then I used this freebie clover from Deena. (click here to link)

I cut out three different sizes with three different papers and sewed them together in the center. I fluffed them a little to get the 3D effect I was wanting and glued them to my paper. Hopefully it will bring us some Luck this St. Patrick's day!

 

Freebie: Halloween Digital Cutting file - SVG

This is my favorite time of the year. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp. Seems like a great time for a FREEBIE- This cutting file is just a little bit of what you can get with my new Superstition Cutting Files release at Design House Digital.

SVG FILE includes crows and tree outline cut. - It does not include the wordart or tree backs. 

For some of the cutest little Halloween cutting files, see my latest cutting file collection, SUPERSTITION CUTTING FILES, releasing Thursday September 23,2010. 

Here is a preview and just a couple of projects I have done so far using my BLACKBIRD COLLECTION for My Mind's Eye and SUPERSTITION from Design House Digital.

For this really simple canvas project I used a $1 bin canvas from Michaels.  The cat is a cut from the new Superstition Cutting Files, and the paper is from the Blackbird Collection.

For this easy to make dessert topper, I used my D-cut Basic Shapes for the circle scallop and inner circle.  The spider is a cute cut from the new Superstition Cutting Files, and the paper is from the Blackbird Collection.

Free SVG Cutting File - Chore Wheel

Time for summer and time for a new routine.  I thought I would share what is keeping my kids on task, giving them some responsibility, and making it so I don't have to come up with a new job list everyday.

I made a wheel chart for daily and weekly chores.  This download includes the chore wheel cut, plus png files of my chore chart that might work for you as well as it seems to be working for our family.

1. I printed out some of my favorite simple paper:

A Little Sketchy & Hotel California Steely Digital Paper

2. Cut out 2 SVG cuts of the chore wheel on my cricut.

3. Printed out my chore chart plus child names on white cardstock and hand-cut the circle outline.

4. Then I glued the steely paper circle onto my wheel, along with the child names.

5. After poking a hole through the center of all of the circles, I fastened a brad through the center and then glue dotted the "daily" and "weekly" circles to the top.

6. Final addition was gluing a magnet onto the back of the wheel to keep right on the fridge.

Won't this be fun?

Here is a little bonus cutting file to wet your whistle.

So, I have 4 children.  The 3 oldest (and just keep getting older) are all boys.  No more cutesy little gift- giving or getting for them.

Here is a perfect way to give a gift card or cash to your favorite guy. Actually, this works for anyone - just pick your paper accordingly!

For this easy project I downloaded the free svg cutting file. Then I used my new paper line, So Sophie, that I designed with Jen Allyson for My Mind's Eye. Don't be tricked into thinking this an all girlie line.  It is feminine, but with so many great patterns and colors perfect for a masculine touch...especially the CHARMING color scheme.

BY THE WAY....don't forget to get in the running for my SMATTERING OF A GIVEAWAY right here.
