SVG Cuts 12 Days ~ Day 2

TGIF! I am playing along with SVG Cuts 12 Days of Christmas and making a tag every day. Today we are talking Trendy Twine. I recently purchased their Starter Pack and just love the baker’s twine. They have challenges over on their blog and I have been playing along. Lesley is so nice and her design team rocks!

Here is the current Challenge:

Create a Christmas tag.

Recipe:  snowman, glitter, and Trendy Twine.

(Must include all three)

I started by cutting the Doiley from SVG Cuts Doilies SVG Collection. I used a holographic cardstock paper and threaded the Trendy Twine true the holes.

Next I cut and assembled the snowman from Snowmen Village SVG Kit. I added some gemstones and Trendy Twine to accent.

Lastly I cut the SNOW shape from Winter Bliss SVG Collection. I used the Double-Sided Adhesive & Glitter I received with my Cameo. I am not usually a glitter gal but this was fun! I used a soft brush to remove the excess glitter from my piece. 

So head on over to the SVG Cuts 12 Days of Christmas and Enter to Win!

Look at what you get! 

See you tomorrow!

Snowman Goodie

I created a box that will hold a snowman cookie cutter and sugar cookie recipe to go along with the Snowman theme. My son's teacher prefers non-edible treats so thought these would be fun for the kids to make cookies with their families.

STEP 1 - Here is a flat view of the box. Fold on all score lines. (Please note: if you decide to cut the SVG this does take a few minutes to cut due to the score/fold cuts)


STEP 2 - Fold in small flaps first then larger flaps. Secure with some double sided tape.


STEP 3 - Drop in the goodies and tie with a ribbon. (These would be great little boxes for homemade candy or an ornament.)


STEP 4 - Add some embellishments if you like. 1 down --- 19 to go!

I cut this box at 9.922"w x 9.182"h to fit recipe card. Feel free to switch up the snowman for another image if you like or even add some hearts for a future Valentine's project!

Snowman Bags & Tags

We are doing a snowman theme for my son's Kindergarten class. (I'm all about themes!) Here is a big gift bag that we decorated (13" wide). It will hold the smaller goodie bags that the kids will bring home. The homeroom Mom came up with the initial idea and I did the hat tags.

Here are the details: Eyes and Mouth are black marker, Ear Muffs are felt, Nose and Cheeks are pastel or crayons and the Scarf is a piece of horizontal fleece with another piece folded and attached on the right side. I used a glue gun to attach the felt and fleece. I personalized with a silver metallic pen and attached using a ribbon.





Here are the SVGs for the tag - click here to DOWNLOAD.
I did not print the hat band - instead I added the blue felt for the boys and the red fleece for the girls.

Check back tomorrow for the snowman themed goodie that goes in the bag - includes a 3D box.

Snowman Ornament

I created this Snowman Ornament as part of a challenge on the Craft Edge Message Board using supplied shapes. I have done SVGs using type and simple elements but this is the first time I actually created a graphic SVG. Thought I would kick off my blog featuring this element.


Here is a layout I did featuring the snowman:



I used Creative Charms Seasonal Medley Snowflakes as accents and added some stitching to the top and bottom borders.

If you would like to download the Snowman Ornament SVG click DOWNLOAD. It is set up to import on to a 12 x 6 mat in SCAL. I am open to any comments or suggestions you may have.
Thought you might find this image of the mat and what goes where helpful:


I am going to add in tips on this blog and I have one to share today. I wanted to create the ornament for this posting but I was out of black paper. I took a sheet of white card stock and created a black box in Illustrator to the size that I needed and printed my own black stock. Might be kinda useful if you are trying to match a particular color and can't find the exact paper stock.
