Can't download SVG files?

2010-10-06T10:30:00.002-06:00

I found out last night that all of my old links to download any of my SVG files on my blog are dead. I just don't have the energy to transfer the files to my new file sharing website unless I know it's a file someone wants. So if you see something you like, but can't get the download, leave me a comment and I'll fix it. Otherwise, consider them expired.

Did you know how many different rakes there were?

2010-10-06T00:35:00.006-06:00

Fall is here, and it's time to rake. But just which rake will you choose?

Here we've got your classic rake.

Next, a lawn rake that looks more like a broom gone haywire to me.This lawn rake looks less broom-like, but it's lacking a few tines.

Up next we have a more modern version of the lawn rake.

Or would you prefer the landscaping rake? If you wanted a hand rake, you're out of luck today.

Thanks for looking!

Carnations

2010-05-27T21:54:00.004-06:00

I had good intentions for all of my Mother's Day cards. I was going to make each person a card with their favorite flower on them. I started working on making carnation svg files for my grandma's card, but since I procrastinated too long, I ended up giving them all orchid cards. Oops! This carnation is very intricate, and somewhat difficult to piece together. But it's more realistic looking. A trick I found helpful when putting the petal pieces on was to use the outer part that I was about to throw away as a stencil. I glued the first petal on where it should go, and then placed my stencil piece over that and stuck the other pieces in like a jigsaw puzzle. It turned out great, but was tedious.
This one is more simple, and less carnation looking. This one would be hard to mess up. Trust me, I've tried. :D

Guitars Part 1

2010-05-18T00:16:00.007-06:00

Today I'm uploading guitar files for a friend. Here are the first 3 options. I'm still working on some layered guitars.
The first one is very simple.

The second has more small cuts, and would work better cut larger. But I love the look of the strings.

The last is an electric guitar.

Mother's Day Cards

2010-05-10T11:10:00.006-06:00

Today I'm posting actual projects that I've done this week. These are the Mother's Day cards that I made for my mom, grandmas, and aunts.

On this one, I used the 'fold-it flowers' that I found on Penny Duncan Creations. It took me a while, and a few ruined flowers to figure out exactly how to fold them, but I was pretty happy with the results.

I knew that the orchid is my mom's favorite flower, and wanted to make her an orchid card. My plan was to make all of my cards the favorite flower of the recipient, but I cut out about a dozen orchids, and kinda ran out of time, so lots of them got these. This is the first orchid file that I worked on. I like it, but the edges of the base layer are very thin, and rip easily.

This card is made with the second orchid file that I made. I really like the way this one turned out. I even made my first attempt at inking the edges of the pieces! Go easy on me. I'm new at this! lol
Here are the svg files for both of the orchids

Rainy Day

2010-04-21T22:20:00.010-06:00

As the rain drips down on my head tonight (no, I'm not outside. Yes, I do have a leaky roof) I am inspired to make paper umbrellas. (Yes, I know paper umbrellas won't protect me from the rain.)

Just so you have a good selection for any project you might need an umbrella for, I came up with a few different versions that I like for different reasons. I like this one because it gives me the ability to have a multiple colored umbrella. I'm not sure I like the raindrops, but they were there, so use them if you want. Delete them if you don't.I like this one because the double layer gives it just a little extra, and it's smoother and more symmetrical.I like this one because of its simplicity. One sheet of paper. One color.

While I was looking for umbrella pictures to trace, I found this summery umbrella with a table and chairs. I couldn't pass it up.
When I found the table umbrella, I also found this summery looking bag. I couldn't leave it without the table. This one could be done with or without the stripes.

More and more flip flops

2010-04-19T10:08:00.006-06:00

Can you ever really have too many pairs of flip flops?

These are adorable!! Click here to download

These are pretty simple, but cute! Click here to download

Flip flops I like better

2010-04-19T09:42:00.004-06:00

I think I like these flip flops better than the others. In this file there are both the single layer/one color outlines on the left, and the double layered/two color flip flops on the right. The black on the right pair is the base, with the pink on top.

My First Scrapbook Page Ever!

2010-03-12T08:18:00.006-07:00

I have to say that I love this shoe! I am test cutting it right now, so if there are any problems with it, they'll be fixed by the time you download it. Click here to download svg file. Enjoy!

After the test cut, I tweaked it a bit, and at about 4" it turned out beautiful. If you want to cut it any smaller, I would suggest breaking the shoe apart and deleting the two sole parts.

And finally, here is my finished layout. My first ever. Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing! lol

Just in case you give a flip

2010-03-03T19:12:00.004-07:00

Since the weather is teasing us, and starting to show signs of spring, I'm getting anxious for flip flops! Okay, part of it might be the fact that I don't have clean socks today. Either way, I decided today that I'd share a flip flop svg file.

Girlie Girls

2010-02-17T15:48:00.004-07:00

I wanted a cute cut file for a pair of sunglasses. In the midst of my search, I found an entire page full of girlie girl things. I liked most of them, so decided to convert them all in one file. Included are 3 different handbags, lipstick, a compact with a mirror (not sure I like that one), a hand mirror, two different styles of shoes, a funky shaped nail polish bottle, and finally, the sunglasses. Now that I've finished this file, I'll try jazzing up the sunglasses to be more what I was looking for.

As of right now, I haven't test cut any of these. I'm a little concerned that the outline of the larger handbag won't work.

Mary's Request

2010-02-10T21:48:00.005-07:00

So Mary sent a request my way this morning. What fun I had putting this one together! This is a small recipe box with tabbed dividers inside. It will easily fit 3x5 index cards. It can be re-sized to fit the 4x6.

I drew the dashes along the edge, just so you could see the shape. Now I see them in a photo, I don't like them anymore, and gave the box to my daughter to decorate.

Thanks Mary for the request!

Snack Box

2010-02-09T14:02:00.006-07:00

Today, for your cutting enjoyment, I give you the snack box. As long as you make sure the proportions are locked, you can make this just about any size you want. Using two 12"x12" sheets of paper, this one turned out to be 6 1/2" long, 4 1/4" wide, and 5 3/4" tall. We made a smaller one using 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock for Sarah to pack stuff into. She squished 4 cupcakes into hers.

Hope you enjoy this one!

Young Women's Logo

2010-02-08T20:50:00.008-07:00

So here's my first attempt at a blog post. I can come back and delete this later, right? You know, when I look back and wonder what I was thinking during the first post.

I got a Cricut for Christmas, and have been since learning how to make my own files to cut, since I'm way too cheap to spend all of my money on Cricut cartridges. I have to save some of it for my crack, er I mean paper. I'm shocked at how quickly this became something that I enjoy so much.

After several attempts at various svg files for use with Sure Cuts A Lot, I'm tired of keeping them to myself. I'm ready to share them. Today I've been working on the Young Women's logo.

If I can get this right, you should be able to click on the picture to download the svg file.
