3D Baby's Cot/Crib

A couple of the lovely ladies in our FB Craft Group spied a project the other day that involves the use of a 3 dimensional baby's cot/crib, unfortunately they were unable to get a free cutting pattern anywhere, so I have had a play about today and come up with this little design.  My first attempt at 3d type stuff, so don't be too harsh on me.

For the legs, I've just made 4 individual columns that fold up nicely with a little flat tab on top, that if you glue it down to the inside of the column it will give you something to pop some glue on to attach to the base of the cot.

Sorry but that was the best I could come up with at a moments notice, if you have a better idea for the legs...please feel free to leave me a message and I'll see what we can do :))

You can get the free CRIB SVG HERE and it measures a little less than 2inches long, and just under 3 inches in height in total when assembled.  When importing the SVG don't forget that there are actually 2 layers within it, one is score layer and the other is the cut layer, just separate the 2.

Enjoy :)

Label Popup Card

After quite a lot of mucking about with shapes this morning and wasting loads of cardstock (back to the store for me this week)  I have come up with this sweet little pop-up card.

You can download the SVG  AND/OR the MTC FILES HERE

I HEART U - Pop Up Card with Tutorial

Hi all, in answer to a request for help in making a card like this suitable for our cutting machines to tackle, I played around with different things and managed to get a working svg for the design. (My photo is not so perfect as I rushed and tore part of it lol and it isn't even on the backing straight) sorry!!!  But yes, if you take the time to do it properly, it will be fine :)

A couple of ladies have asked....how on earth do you get it to cut around the letters like that for popping them out, it's just a matter of a bit of node editing, and drawing in some extra cutting lines, but anyhooo, all the screenshots and info on how I made it are in the Tutorial which you can download in PDF.

 

This is what the finished cutting file looks like (3 layers) base card, cutting layer, scoring layer, cut your score layer with minimal pressure and a bit slower perhaps on some machines to avoid tearing the cardstock.

You can download the SVG HERE and the TUTORIAL HERE.

Babushka Doll

Love and adore these little Babushka Dolls, they've become so popular and keep seeing them everywhere, I remember seeing similar ones at one of my Nannas' homes when I was growing up and used to amuse myself for ages playing with them, stacking them all up and then pulling them all apart....way up there with the ole Barrel of Monkeys :))

Anyhooo here's what I've come up with today

You can grab the SVG HERE.

Finally....she scraps :))

Am sooooooo happy tonight, finally I managed to start and complete a page, hmmm been way too long that is for sure!

I have chosen a piccie of my youngest girl on her 4th birthday...wow that was only 2 years ago now!!!  I've used papers from Echo Park... Hello Summer (Digital/Hybrid kits from Jessica Sprague).  I just love these papers, the colours and.... oh everything about them.

I tried out my new Printer with my Print and Cuts on the Cougar, gotta say.....so totally stoked, they cut out absolutely perfectly.   Happy to be scrapping again....now to see if I can continue!!!

6x6 Swing Card with Square Centre

Hi all, decided to have a play around with this file last night, a lot of people have been looking for a cutting file to do the basic square version of these awesome swing cards, so decided to spend some time and actually do some measurements (yup me do measurements lol lol)  Anyhooo, this when folded up will be a 6x6 inch card (still sounds kinda big to me but hey I'm not a cardmaker) so feel free to resize it obviously to whatever size it suits your purposes.

Included in the download is a JPEG of finished item, SVG, SCUT2, SCUT3 and MTC.  Enjoy the file, would love to see any of your amazing creations from you card loving ladies that use these files.

If you are wondering about any of the papers in this project....I have used Echo Park, This & That Graceful Collection.  (Digital Versions available from Jessica Sprague)

Hexagon Exploding Box Album with Roof lid....

Had a few requests to see if I could make a usable svg pattern for this gorgeous box album as originally (I believe?) seen created by Sarah Youde...you can see her blog/video HERE.

Could not get a decent trace on it, so decided to have a go myself...figuring it's mostly generic shapes and just a few mathematical equations for completing the lid and the rooftop, so it's pretty much similar.

Anyhooo....I hope you fellow crafters get as much delight out of this one as I have done, it's not very often I will even do OTP type scrapbooking, so this is way out off my element.  So here is my version of an incredibly cool little album (which I haven't had time to decorate yet).....
