Hershey Mini Wrapper .Cut Files

Hello, well today I was reading the posts and someone on the cricutlovers group was looking for Hershey Mini wrapper template. and soo here I am trying to help out and make thing sooo much easier, I really do wish that I had this program when I was making them and 9 years ago, I made a bunch for my Grandma's 95 birthday party, though I decorated them digitally vs. with scrap paper.
But any how... I have made 3 files. 2 that use the George Cartridge, 1 for the Cricut Bug, and one that can be cut on the expressions 12 x 12 sheet, the other is made with the Plantin for the Expressions.
Hope these make life easier. I cant wait to get some minis now. lol.
Here are the links: George1 - Bug George2-Expressions, Plantin
I love hearing from those of you that download my files.
Hugs and God Bless
Dana

My Storage for Cricut Cartridge and other items





Hi everyone, just thought that I would share with you a little corner of my crafting room. Now mind you this is Just a Little corner lol, of my crafting room. The corner of one of my tables... I have three 5 ft tables, Plus the desk that I use for my computer, plust 1 filing cabinet with 4 drawers, Plus 2 of those tall white plastic shelves with all things covered, Plus...lol... all my pictures and my ceramics and such are in the totes Under the tables. Yeahhhh.. I Do, and I do admit it... have too much stuff, or maybe not enough as there is always something new that I want to try out... such as the skittles, I found those clear pebble like things, they are acrylic, but not really skittles, found them at Michaels along with some of the Alchol dyes that everyone has been talking about. I took them home and right away died a bunch of them. Wish that I had had my 50% off coupon for those... any how... Here are the pics of my Corner Storage...

ATC Trading Card Envelope -George



I am running out of Ideas for envelopes... but now we all have one for about everything, except fo the Purse card that I need to get sent to my sister for her birthday. I am going to have to figure something out for it too. hmmm...
Anyhow.. was blog hopping again, and found a site with ATC trading cards, then went to another site, Mirkwood designs... looked at the template that they had and created it in Design Studio using the George Cartridge... Sorry... I think that I am stuck on George... you will still have to cut it out using an expressions, as it goes beyond the lines for the baby Cricut. It took 4 tries to get it big enough.
Here is the link:

But hope you enjoy, let me know what you think.

Post it Holder - George and WIMG


Well the idea for the Post-it Holder came from an article with a picture of one that I was reading about in the May 2006 Fiskars pull out section of a Paper Crafts magazine that I got from the Library. I actually got a whole stack of this magazine Free from the library, they have a cart of freebies ... when they are making room for new magazines. Just happened to be there at the right time.
Here is the link:

Another Envelope Made with George Cut on the Expressions


This time I made a 5x7 inch Envelope for those of us that make bigger cards than just the A2 size. Since i liked the design of my other envelope so much. I made one the same but of course bigger so that it fit. Second try worked this time. First one would have but I accidentially deleted the file. Ooops.. so I had to start over. Again, I love the fit of the envelope.

I would really love to hear from those of you downloading my files. There are some awesome gals that do every time they download somthing. But for having 20o + download the A2 envelope I think I had 4 responses. You may leave me a message here, let me know what you think or on 4shared. just takes a second to say thank you.
I love creating for you all, but I like to know what you think too.

Here is the link.

3 Size Flower .cut File George


Before I started into making .cut files I made alot of digital scrapbooking things... and I was thinking, well why not try and make some of the digital images into .cut files. So ... here is my first attempt. This flower I have made in 3 sizes for you. I use the George cartridge to design it, but I am not sure if the baby Cricut people can cut the large one as it goes all the way to the edges. I have been cutting everything with my Expressions.

But here it is.

Hope you like it.

Hugs and God Bless

Scalloped Border .Cut Files George and WIMG


I think that these scalloped borders is what someone on Cricutlovers was looking for though not really sure. For the life of me I could not get the Expressions to cut it a full 12 inches long. But I did come up with these three that I do like. The First 2 are done with Only the George Cartridge. The last one in the picture I also used the Walk In My Garden Cartridge for the half circle cut.

I hope that you like them too.

Please let me know what you think.

Well today... Has been a Much better day. I dont feel like I am on a rollercoaster today. Which is a good thing.

Happy Birthday Like Stamp - but not a Stamp

... here is the link for the page of Happy Birthday circle things that I did...

http://www.4shared.com/file/112234843/eed72c6e/Happy_Birthday.html

I wanted them so that I could have centers to flowers, or centers to those circular cuts on the Storybook cartridge... but for the life of me I could Not get the dang things lined up so that I could cut them with the Cricut, cause I did Want them to be bigger. I created them using my Paint Shop Pro 8 program, as I was trying to use an actual stamp that I had but I could not get it centered either and kept on wasting too many centers that I had cut out... so on to my different resources...

So I am sharing with you... these, just hopefully not my frustrations too.. lol.

Hugs and God Bless

Ps.. sorry do not have a picture of them.

The Dresses Cut file has Changed... I added the picture above... and edited the .cut file on my 4shared account. So if you have already downloaded it and want the smaller dresses as well, you will need to download again. New Link down below.





While out Blog hopping again, today, I saw some dressess, and wanted one like I always do... When I was looking at it, I did not read farther then what was right around the picture, I did not know that it came with a pattern, but I liked it and wanted one for myself... Sooo.. Oh and as well someone from Cricutlovers group, I think it was, or maybe it was Cricutcutters, was looking for some stuff that she could easily make for a wedding shower, I think it was... Well here is the dress that I came up with. One of course is Large, and Looks Great as part of a page layout, and the other.. is small and fits nicely on a A2 size card. I will post a picture of the Lay Out when I get it finished.

Ties For Dad


With Fathers Day coming up and my FIL's birthday being two days before Fathers Day, I had to come up with a Birthday Card plus a Fathers Day card, and get one sent out to my dad as well.

I have been working on this for a couple days... trying to come up with some ideas... well I do have a card for my dad, that is under my jumble here somewhere but right now, I don't want to search for. It is really cool and simple it says on the outside, F is for Father and on the inside it says, And I am Glad you are Mine. I dont have any special cut for it, just done with the Story Book cartridge and some paper scraps, but I really like how it turned out. I will post a picture of it, when I clean off my desk again tomarrow.

I am terrible when I get started, everything has to be in its place, but during the process it always turns into something terribly different, then I walk away from it till next time and clean it up again, and then start all over.

Any how... as for the Birthday Card for my FIL, it could also be for any other type of day, just attach a different saying... the image is called Ties for Dad... I saw a stamped card like it when I was out Blog hopping and wanted a cut file like it and this is what I came up with.
Now my FIL does not wear ties at all, I have never actually seen him in a tie, so this is not really his kind of thing, but it is the card that he will get. lol. Now for my dad, in another life time it seems he did wear ties, but not any longer.
For some reason, I always start off with a large one, the file that I am going to share with you has a large tie, some bow ties, a medium set of ties, and then some small ties. The small ties are what I used for this card. Here is the link. Hope you enjoy. Please leave some love if you download. And Please remember, my files are for Personal use only.

Smaller Version of Pocket Watch - Walk In My Garden cart

Well the last one was Huge, took up almost a whole 12x12 piece of paper, though it would be great for a scrap page. But just a little too big for invitations, such as what Donna wanted ot for... So... I came up with this. I even like it much better. It is made with the Walk in My Garden cartridge.

to download the .cut file.
A few final directions too... The clock face is stamped, I think that they are Stampin Up stamps.
the circles in the center of the chain I made using my handheld hole punch. And I adhered them with a mini glue dot. They are almost as small as the mini glue dots.
Hope you enjoy.

Pocket Watch DS .Cut File - George

Here is a .cut file that I have made for Donna on Cricutcutter yahoo group that was looking for a Pocket watch. If she needs it smaller I sure can try again. But for some reason that I am unaware of, DS does not cut smaller than an inch, which is how big the chain is. Though... hmm now that I am thinking of it, I might try it again using the innards of a flower from WIMG catridge. And I will post then what I have come up with for that cartridge as well.

To be able to download the cut file, click here:
For the clock face, there is cut for the face. The numbers I did with my Plantin cartridge and cut them without DS. You may cut them any font you want. For the inner part of the chain, I cut 3/4 inch circles from the George cartridge and used glue dots to adhere them to the watch.
If you have any othere questions on this please let me know.

Puff Box DS - .Cut File -George Cartridge


Well, I was website hopping again, and I came across, Splitcoaststampers... I was actually looking for a recipe to make my own alcohol dyes. I did find a recipe but I found this site first. And... I found a wonderful tutorial done by Brandy for this puff box, hers is using a CD as a template... You can find her tutorial for it here http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/puffybox/


I actually made mine on the Cricut 5 1/4 as that is the size that I thought, lol, that the CD was, so when I then went to use the CD as a guide for my scored lines it did not work. So I needed to cut a circle the same size as the cut for the box, (I have included that as well.)

The first page of the cut is just a Preview showing where the score lines should go, the second page is the box itself, you can get 2 cuts for 1 12x12 sheet. You may find these boxes

here:



and Brandy's tutorial on putting them together. Hope you enjoy!

You Know that you are addicted to scrapping when...



Have you ever gotten an idea in your head that does not let you go to sleep, or one that wakes you up at 3 in the morning or earlier? With and idea in your mind that says You Have to try this now! And no matter how much you try to roll over and go back to sleep, you cannot until you go and try your idea, or complete the project...

Well yesterday I was web hopping on different scrapbooking sites, where I found a post for Purse Cards, there were pictures showing what the gals had done with the .cut file they had gotten. The post even said that the .cut file was right there... but it was not. Sooo me being who I am, Had to try to make my own cut file. The cards were both made using George and Plantin Schoolbook.

I started at 10pm, did not like the first one that I made (the one with the S), well I like how it finaly turned out, but I had to do a LOT of trimming on it because the edges did not match up when I cut it out. But I did not want to waste it because I really liked the paper. So when that one did not turn out right, I went back to my cartridges and my paper stash to try again and again, and about 2 good sheets later, and 15 not so good sheets of paper later, I finally came up with a Purse card that I liked. It is the Pink card with the Jewelz on above. But it was now 4:30 in the morning. So I got the sample done to my liking. So I went to bed.
I woke up at 7:30 thinking that it was more like 11:30. I was glad that I had more day, but wishing that I was still in bed.






Well I hope that you have enjoyed, and Yes I am going to share my cut file. For the first pink one, not the one with the S. Which by the way is chipboard that I cut out, and glittered.
Here is the link, I zipped it up with the picture that goes with the cut file.
You are welcome to use this for Personal use only. Please do not share the link or file with anyone or any group, please lead them to my blog.
Enjoy and Have Fun with it! I would Love to see some of the purse cards that you all come up with. Leave some lovin
Hugs and God Bless
