SCAL: Welding basic shapes together to create your own designs

I had an email from someone who was having problems in welding together the basic shapes they'd used to create their design.  It was much easier to create a video to show what the problems were and how to overcome them.  I thought I'd put it here too, in case others were having similar problems.  I hope you find it useful!

A strip of tickets! 

This file is no longer available here.  Contact me to learn how to access previous designs.

I have several different ticket stamps from various companies and needed to create an svg of a strip of tickets that I could stamp them onto.  2" x 1" seems to be the standard size of the stamps and dies out there (who knew that so many companies make a 2x1 ticket die!), so I made these slightly larger to allow for wobbly stamping! :)

What will I be when I grow up?

#4 - CEO of a multinational corporation

This is part 4 of an occasional series called "What will I be when I grow up?".  I think it pretty much speaks for itself! :)  The theme over on the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge blog this week is "anything but a card", and since this isn't a card I think it qualifies :)

I designed the Grouch Marx disguise on the computer and cut it out on the Cricut, then got busy with Tim Holtz stamps and Claudine Hellmuth paints! :)

Our ever-generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50 gift voucher as the prize again this week! The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge, so why not give it a try? At the very least why not head over to the Challenge Blog to see how the other members of the design team have interpreted this weeks theme! :)

Roll Up! Roll Up! Come See the Main Attraction!

This weeks theme on the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge is "Something Old, Something New". The old thing in my piece is the leftover configurations element I used, and the new was two of Tim Holtz's recent limited edition Distress Ink colours.

I started by covering the frame I was using with a couple of layers of gesso, applied with a baby wipe so that they'd be nice and thin with no brush strokes.  I dried the frame with a heat gun between layers.

Next, I stamped the "rays" with Festive Berries distress ink and then used a yellow Promarker to colour the gaps between them.  I used a blending tool to cover the frame with a generous layer of Gathered Twigs distress ink, and stamped lots of scratches and splodges, also with Gathered Twigs ink.

I cut the circus awning on the Cricut and coloured it with Promarkers, then coloured the configurations box with an Umber Promarker, to tie in with the background panel (from the Tattered Time stack) and the brown I'd used to age the frame.  I lined the inside of the box with black card and stamped, coloured and cut out the clown and fixed him in place.

I really had a lot of fun completely distressing the frame, lol  My hands were good and inky by the end of it, thank goodness for craft scrubbies! :)

I Believe in Father Christmas

This weeks theme on the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge is "Through the Looking Glass - Projects with Depth".  This 3D diorama card is over 2 inches deep, so fits the challenge perfectly!  This has always been one of my favourite Christmas songs, though when you actually listen to it it's kinda depressing! LOL  The Polar Express movie played it's part in the inspiration for this too :)

 I've used rock candy stickles on the snowflakes and it always saddens me that the sparkly frostiness of it is never done justice in a photo!  White enamel accents that I used for the snow on the tree branches is wonderfully dimensional, but alas that too is lost in this picture!

Freebie #64!

Windowed Pocket Tags

Following a request I received this week, tonight's freebies are windowed pocket tags.  Perfect for holding a journalling spot on a scrapbook page, as a cute frame for a small photo, the focus on the front of a card or just as an extra special tag on a gift for a loved one!  Why not use these pocket tags to hold special messages or ephemera such as tickets?

There are 5 designs in total - circle, square, heart, scalloped square and solid, just cut them on double sided cardstock, glue or tape down the tabs and you're all set!  I've included marks to show where to fold and I've also included reinforcement circles for that authentic stationery look.  All 5 are in 1 file, just cut the ones you need!

Please remember you are only allowed to download this file for your own use and can not share it or distribute it to others in any form. I spend a great deal of time creating my designs, please respect the terms under which they are shared.

Freebie #63!

Square Gift Box

Following yesterday's post of a set of notecards with matching gift box I've had a number of emails asking about the box, so I thought I'd offer it as todays freebie :)  This shallow gift box with snugly fitting lid comes in either SVG or DXF format, ready to cut on the Cricut, Craft Robo or other digital cutters.

I originally designed the box at 5 1/2 inches square, to fit the cards I'd made, but I've included a sizing chart below, which shows the width and height to cut the box and lid to make a range of box sizes.  Remember, this is a square box, so the two shapes you cut should be square in proportion.  For example, for a 3x3 box, the base should be 5.2 x 5.2 and the lid should be 4.77 x 4.77. 

Note:  Although I calculated these sizings I haven't tried cutting in all the sizes yet.  I already knew that the 5.5 box cuts perfectly, so I then went on to make a sample cut of the 3x3 size, which also worked just fine.  I figured that as the 3x3 was the smallest and most fiddly to assemble that would be the one that was most likely to go wrong, so I was relieved when it worked! :)

Box size	Base w/h	Lid w/h
3 x 3	5.2	4.77
3.5 x 3.5	6.04	5.54
4 x 4	6.9	6.3
4.5 x 4.5	7.76	7.06
5 x 5	8.62	7.85
5.5 x 5.5	9.5	8.625
6 x 6	10.34	9.38
6.5 x 6.5	11.22	10.14

Accordion Recipe/Photo Wallet

[These files are no longer available here.  Contact me on the link above for details on how to access expired files.]

In many ways this is a cut down version of the concertina organiser I've given away in the past, but this time the entire folder can be cut out of just 1 sheet of 12x12 cardstock!

Perfectly sized for 5x3 recipe cards or photos, I've included a separate file containing tabbed dividers so that if it's used for recipes you can separate them into appetizers, entrees, etc, plus a bookplate so that you can put a label of your choice on the front flap.

I've even included a PDF file with recipe cards you can print and cut out!  The base can be left flat, but I have also included fold guides so that the bottom can be accordion folded too - the choice is yours!

Fancy-edged Book

[This file is no longer available here - contact me for info on how to get older files]

Believe it or not, if you cut with a page height of 3.5 inches (perfect size for a brag book), all 7 pages will fit onto 1 sheet of 12x12 cardstock! If you use double-sided cardstock you can cut the whole thing from one 12x12 sheet and just turn each alternate page over for a quick, stylish base for making a stunning keepsake gift!

Diorama Card

[As always, these files were only available for 1 week from this blog and have now been removed. Contact me for details of how to access older files]

After posting the diorama card I showed here, I have received several emails asking for copies of the file, so I thought I would give it away as a freebie tonight. Below is a diagram showing how the card goes together. The support strips are used to attach elements at different levels within the card. The great thing about this card is that it also will squash flat for putting in an envelope! Remember to decorate the front and back before you assemble the card.

The file contains elements for the front, back, sides and support strips, which all fit onto a 12x12 sheet of card, to produce a 5x5 card. If you want a larger card, just cut out a larger front, back and strips, and cut the sides on your paper trimmer (they should be 4" x the height of your card).

Do or Diorama!

This is my first attempt at a diorama card, and I had a lot of fun making it, with a few small headaches on the way, lol Basically it's a flat back and a window front, with concertina'd sides that allow you to fix different elements at different levels inside the card. I made a file for the whole thing and cut it on my Cricut, along with the "dream" letters, the house and the birds.

Apart from that it was basically memento, distress ink and promarker wizardry (well, as close as I can get to wizardry anyway! lol)

Freebie #59!

Gothic Arch Cards

[As always, my files are only free here for 1 week, so this set is no longer available from my blog. Contact me for details of how to access expired file sets.]

It's been a while since my last one, so it's great to be able to offer you another free cutting file this week! This set came about when someone emailed me asking if I had a file for a gothic arch greetings card. I didn't, so I set about creating one!

The photo is rubbish, I know, but it shows that they cut just fine and hopefully you get the general idea of what's included in the file! There are 4 designs of card in the file along with additional panels you can use for extra layers on the front if you wish. All designs are in one file, so after you've unzipped it and imported it into your software you can choose which you want to cut and hide or delete the others to use another time.

Rosette and centre

[These files are no longer available here]

Just when you'd thought there weren't going to be any more freebies! :)

There are so many of these rosettes floating around the internet at the moment, largely due to that fact that they were recently re-popularised by Tim Holtz when he released one as part of his range of Sizzix dies. A few days ago, a friend on one of the forums I belong to asked me if I would design a rosette for her that she could use in SCAL. Once it was finished, it only made sense to share it here too :)

I've included files for the rosette itself and for the zig-zag edged centre circle. I added them separately so that you could easily change the size of one to suit your needs without having to resize the other if you didn't want to :) I've also included folding notches to make the folding easier, but if you don't want these just cut the shape in blackout mode. Remember to cut an extra circle to glue on the underside of your rosette so that it keeps it's shape!

Studio 490 Style

Well, what a fantastic start to the new Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge we had last week! Over 200 entries - thanks so much to everyone who took part!! The theme for this week's challenge is "Studio 490 Style", which means in the style of amazing artist and designer Wendy Vecchi. Unfortunately I don't own any of Wendy's stamp designs, but that doesn't mean that I can't try to make something in her style! I've always admired her blog header, so I thought I'd make something inspired by it. (Check out Wendy's blog here to see what I'm talking about).
As ever, I designed the blank pieces on my computer, then cut them with the Cricut. After that, I used Distress Inks and a range of stamps, including some Tim Holtz, to complete my project.

Thanks to Simon Says Stamp there's another great prize this week, to be given at random to one of the entrants to the challenge - take a look at the prize pic below, it's really worth winning! Why not head over to the challenge blog for some inspiration and see how the other Design Team members have interpreted the theme? While you're there, why not think about entering the challenge? Go on, you know you'll have fun! :)

Things with Wings...

... is the theme of the first ever Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. Sponsored by Simon Says Stamp, there's also a fantastic prize on offer to one lucky entrant this week, which includes one of Tim Holtz's new stamp sets, some Distress Ink pads, a Tiny Attacher and other wonderful goodies! The whole prize is pictured below:


All you have to do for a chance to win is enter this week's challenge - make something that fits with the theme "Things with Wings"! Why not go over to the challenge blog for some inspiration and see the different ways in which the design team have interpreted the theme? Here is my entry (click on the image for a larger view):
This clown's head is one of my favourite Tim Holtz stamps, and I've had the idea for this piece kicking around in my head for some time now. Thankfully the theme of "Things with Wings" has allowed me to get it out of my system! :)

The outlines of all the body parts and wings were drawn on the computer and then cut out on the Cricut using the Sure Cuts a Lot program. Barn Door, Peeled Paint, Dusty Concord and Old Paper Distress Ink pads were used for colouring, either direct to paper or with a water brush. All stamping used a Momento Tuxedo Black ink pad, and most of the stamps were by Tim Holtz at Stampers Anonymous, particularly these sets: Tiny Textures, The Big Top and Spills and Splatters.

Comments welcomed, as ever, and don't forget to enter the challenge yourself! :)

Cupcake Wrapper and Flag

There are so many of these floating around the internet and I'm sure that many of you already have some, but I received a request this week for a cupcake wrapper so I thought I'd do my own, and throw in a cupcake flag for good measure!

These pretty scalloped cupcake wrappers with their cute little flags will brighten any party table! I cut these samples out of some of the free designs that can be downloaded from Shabby Princess, but obviously you can use whatever paper or cardstock fits best with the theme of your table!

Freebie #55!

Baby Building Block

So many uses for this weeks freebie - be it for baby shower invitations, "it's a girl! (or boy)" cards, scrapping toddler photos. You can even leave the letters off and replace them with dots to make a dice!

Please remember you are only allowed to download this file for your own use and may not distribute it to others in any form. I spend a great deal of time creating my designs, please respect the terms under which they are given.

Again, this template will be "live" for 1 week. Next week it will be taken down, and new ones will replace it. Don't forget, if you have any requests, pass them on! I can't promise, but I will take suggestions into account when planning future templates.

These files may not be uploaded to a group, forum or website for sale or redistribution, or shared among individuals. They are expressly for the personal use of each person that downloads them from this blog.

There is 1 file but I have put it into a zip file to make downloading easier. After saving it, open in the usual way, and drag the file out onto your desktop or wherever you wish to save it.

There are 2 versions of each template:

• An SVG version which can be imported into the Sure Cuts a Lot or Make the Cut program and then cut out on your Cricut.
• A DXF version which is Craft Robo friendly, and ready to be imported into your Robomaster software (I'm not a Robo user, so if there are any problems with this, please let me know!)

Simply click on the appropriate button below to download the file!

Any feedback on the templates is more than welcome, and if you have any suggestions for possible future templates you'd like to see, please let me know! If you make anything using one of the templates, please post a link to it here so that others can be inspired by how you've used them!

I hope you like the templates - let me know how you get on! :)

Freebie #54!

Milk Carton Gift Box
Another week, another gift box. I think I'm hooked on making them, I get a kick out of being able to cut something that I would have had to go out and buy! :)

Finished off with a cute scalloped top, there are all kinds of ways you can use these boxes! Most of the folds are obvious, so I haven't marked the score points, but I have added them where they were needed - remember to add a fold joining the the bottom two points of the upside down "Y" fold.
