SCAL (SVG) Waterfall card

Posted by Roxinda-head
I fell in love with these Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) Waterfall card templates. So I studied their video instructions which shows how to make a sample card, in order to make my own creation.


Here is my version, with a few minor changes, of that Waterfall card.

For the pull-tab strip, I used a piece of double-sided paper from the DCWV "Fun in the Sun" Summer Glitter stack. I applied some Studio18 gem stones (available at Michaels) to the center of the flower petals, and also adhered a scrollie-shaped clip as a pull instead of the standard ribbon.



This first panel is stamped "thanks for making my day."



The second panel is stamped "Thank you."


You'll notice that when the tab is pulled out completely, there is another "thank you" message stamped. I also omitted the left strip from the original card to change it up a bit. All stamps are simple $1.00 stamps from Jo-Ann's craft store. All cardstock used is from various DCWV mat stacks. I used Jo-Ann's Scrap Essentials bright mini brads. I used Tsukineko Dew Drop inks to shadow around the flowers and the borders of the die-cuts.

Thank you for visiting my blog and viewing my card. I hope it inspires you to make your own wonderful creations. ♥

SVG Cowboy card

Posted by Roxinda-head
I took an SVG cowboy boot file and made some Christmas cards out of it for my Country Cousins by welding two boots together (one is flipped) and cut out with my Cricut.

Here is the original SVG Cowboy boot image;

Here are the screen prints showing cut sizes and dimensions on the SCAL cutting mat.
I ungrouped the layers and put each one on a separate SCAL mat page.
Click on each image to enlarge.





Here is a two-tone beige boot I made.

Here is the inside of the boot card with a Xmas tree-shaped insert for writing a message glued down with a Zig 2-way adhesive.


Here is a black and red version of the boot card.


Here is the inside of this boot card with the same tree-shaped insert for writing a message.

The Christmas Tree SVG file (insert for my cards) came from MyCricutScrapbooking.com

SCAL Christmas card

Posted by Roxinda-head
Here is a nice card made with some SVG files I found on the internet.
Since I've upgraded to Version 2.0 I've been able to upload more files and even make my own with Inkscape. However, this one is just a simple Arched Window file I found on a Scrapbook blog "Images by Heather M" who has some great SVG files; the rest was my ingenuity.

I started with a blank light blue card from a box of DCWV solid textured cards purchased at JoAnn's Craft stores.

Next, I cut an arched window using the SVG file in shadow.

Next, I cut two regular arched windows (one for outside and one for the inside).


Here is the inside left view with the second window cutout attached.
Here is the outside view with the window cutout attached.

I printed out a winter scene I found on the internet and cut it into an arched shape, and glued it positioned so that it can be viewed through the window.

Here is the inside of the card with two snowflakes stamped with embossing ink and glittered with some blue glitter from the "a la mode" fine glitter set by Hampton Arts. The snowflake stamp is on Inkadinkado's stamp set #99599; or use any snowflake stamp.

I also added a Winter Snowflake cutout from an SVG file on DCWV light blue glitter cardstock. There are 3 snowflakes on this SVG file, and I used the top one as shown here.
With SCAL2, you can ungroup the snowflakes and use only one at a time.

Here is the finished front with a Snowflake added in the corner.
All I have to do now, is send it to someone!
Thanks for visiting my Craft Blog, and I hope it inspires you to create your own.

Sure Cuts A Lot projects

Posted by Roxinda-head
I've been playing around with my SCAL software and creating not only cards, but elaborate letterheads for my stationery needs.


Here is a thank you card using one of the many Free SVG files from SCAL's blog.
You can get this free file here: Thank You Cut




I use SCAL to create my logo for my cards, just like Hallmark, including my email.



If you have a Gel Pen holder and Gel Pens, you can draw anything with your Cricut!
As you can see here, I have placed my card open on my Cricut mat and printed on the back side of the card.



I used a corner flourish font called "CornPop" and the Adine Kirnberg Script font to make this letterhead. These fonts are available Free from Fontspace.com



Here is the finished product.
