Flower Pot card - Cricut DS, Geoge

My friend/Stampin Up demo gave me a lovely flower pot card last week and I thought I would make a cricut version to give my mom for her birthday. I used George for the card, then used leaves from home accents. The leaves could easily be deleted from the file and replaces with leaves from a cartridge you have, or left out entirely. The file is just stems with dots on the top (on the pull out part), so that you can adhere any ol' flowers you want. I used some from a purchased embellishment package for Mom's card, the colors are Ruby Red (SU) and Sage shadow (SU). Notice the pull out part would also be a great size for a gift card (I was getting my mom a GC for a nursery for her birthday, which is why I thought the flower pot would be cute.

File is attached below, enjoy!

Here is the one I got from Jael

All supplies are Stampin' UP!:

Here is the cricut file. I started out making this in SCAL, it is just a pot, top layer and a rectangle card to go in. I switched to DS, so I could do layers, but if you would like the scut, I can post that one too.

Gone Fishin' Scrap Page : Wave mesh SVG

I ran across this cute photo of my son "fishing" in the back yard. He was just over 3 at the time. I wanted something "watery" so I made this wave mesh, then layed it over white. The photo then tucked under the edges nicely and I tied a tag to one of the waves. The letters and fish are from Zoobaloo cartridge. The svg for the wave mesh/mat is below:

Wedding Ring Card, Cricut cut

I was looking through a quilting book (nope, don't quilt, just love to look at them) and saw a wedding ring quilt. I thought it would look pretty for a scrap page mesh sort of background, but to test the cut I made it small and into a card. I used George and DS, and this is a size-able cut, so you can use it for both a card or 8x8 or 12x12 or...whatever suits your fancy. Thanks for looking, Happy Monday!

Party Hat Card

Seems like I always have grown up cards, but never kids cards...which is what I really need the most. So I decided today to whip up a stack of kids cards to have ready for the next birthday party. This is a simple design, I used design studio and george, I put an eyelet in the top for added strength, then added ribbon (curling ribbon works great). Its cheep, its quick, and its cute! I made this a little smaller than a standard card so that with the ribbon it would still fit in a standard size envelope.

I'm in the process of changing hosts for my files. I was using sendspace and they were running some very undesirable adds while the files were loading. I am now using mediafire, hopefully they won't start doing the same thing. That said, I have no controll over the ads run on free host services. If you subscibe to the service you don't have to see the ads while you wait, I have no idea what they charge. I can subscribe for direct links but I checked and its horribly expensive and I can't pay to give away my files, I'd rather spend my money on new crafting toys :)

Watercan treat box

There was a very cute watercan treat box posted on the Cricut site today. I couldn't make one just like it (I could cut it, but scoring was a pain), so I simplified the project and came up with this. It is a nice size for a couple little candies, about 2 inches tall. I used cricut ds and George, and it is baby but compatible. I suggest folding the 4 tabs first, then fold in the sides, using the tabs as your guide. Add two strips of adhesive, fold, decorate, and fill! Enjoy!Watercan treat Cricut cut file

Dahlia Cricut Cut

I was at Pottery Barn this weekend, drooling over all the pretty things there, and I came across this beautiful white pillow with green dahlia leaves embroidered on it. SO ELEGANT. Someday my kids will be past the age of spilling cocoa on the couch and I will be able to buy pretty things again, until then, I thought I better pass on the pillow and turn it into a card. This is a cricut cut file using Home Accents. The cut file was a bear to make, took me about 2 hours to get all the petals in an orientation that looked nice and would cut good on my very dull blade (gotta get a new one!). BUT, once it was finished I could quickly make a few cards which I am very happy with. I'm sure I will be using this one many times over, which makes the time spent worth it.
Hopefully, somebody else will be able to use it too!

The three samples are:

cut from white, over dark solid
cut from kraft, over patterned paper
cut from patterned, over white

Design Studio .cut file is attached below, enjoy! I will convert later today for SCAL, right now I have to feed the kids :)

Paper Pieced Tulip for Sure-Cuts-a-lot

Our Great-Aunt is turning 92 next week. Here is the card I'm sending her-I'm thinking spring, even though I'm freezing here. The tulips are cut with Sure-cuts-a-lot. The file contains two tulips (one slightly bigger than the other), two stems-or you can use ribbon-, 4 leaves, I am attaching it below. For the center petal and for a couple of the leaves, I used foam dots for added demention.
Thanks for looking!
