Borders.....

I am an absolute sucker for Borders!!! Yup .... borders, love them, love the look of them, love the shapes, love the colours and patterns you can fill them with, just brilliant.

Anyhoo, I created these 2 Borders recently for a page for a friend and I seriously love the heck out off them, so I thought I'd share.

The papers used come from Echo Park Happy Halloween (Hybrids) from Jessica Sprague dot com.

You can grab the SVG Borders HERE.  Enjoy :)

Mini Purse Bag

So I've had quite a few requests recently to see if I could make a little Mini Purse Bag as they've been spotted all over the blogworld/craftworld recently, so I've sat down and had a little play with MTC and have ended up with something that resembles this.

You can grab my file for this SVG HERE  If you download and create, please feel free to send me a link to your blog or site, I'd love to see what you create with the file ... Cheers Kris :)

Tri-Shutter Card ...

Hi all, I had reason to create an svg for a Tri-Shutter Card over the weekend so thought I'd share it with you all.

The SVG  has 3 layers within it, so when you import it into your program, make sure you separate them into the 3 layers, one is cutting, one is the score lines for folding, the other layer is the individual pieces for cutting the patterned papers to pop into the spaces.

Okay so here is the SVG FILE for the Tri-Shutter Card, enjoy :)

Not a lot happening here right now.....

Am sooooooooo missing my kitty!  The Cougar that is!!!  She broke down and spat the dummy at me big time and has sadly had to go off to the other side of the Country to hopefully be repaired.  I am sooooo lost and beyond bored without my cutter :(

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
