Strawberry Treat Holder SVG

This is a strawberry treat holder svg I found at svgcuts.  It measures approximately 3″ long x 2.5″ wide.  The top comes off so you can fill it with Valentine’s Day goodies. I cut it out with my Cricut Explore.  I can’t remember if the svg would open already to size, ready for cutting, with my Cricut Expression (because I could use the SCAL program with that), but you can still cut these SVG’s out with the Explore, you just have to size them yourself, which can be tricky.  I just sized the top of my strawberry a bit bigger than my...

Valentine’s Day Pencil Holder SVG

I found this super cute pencil holder svg online and thought it would be perfect as a classroom Valentine’s Day gift.  Either kids can give them to classmates, or teacher’s to their students. I downloaded the file and imported it into my Cricut Design program to cut out there.  I first put the Valentine’s day svg’s onto my Cricut canvas, then added some text to the hearts.  I did Be Mine, one in pink, and the other in black.  I then used the handy print and cut feature that Cricut Design offers. Some playing around and re-sizing did need to be...

Halloween SVG’s

I went crazy doing up some svg’s today, but I can’t help myself, they’re all just sooo darned cute!!  I got these ones from a couple different kits, the Halloween SVG Collection, and Party On Elm Street SVG Kit.  I just love the little spider!  I’m going to cut out a bunch for Halloween and cut out pieces of sticky back magnetic strip to stick to the backs of them, then I’m going to put them all over my front door.  They’re just too fun not to do something with.  I might add some red gems to the eyes when I do them as well, like I...

Bug SVG’s

I got the cutest bug svg’s from Cheryl’s Cute Bugs SVG Kit.  It has all the little critters shown in my photo, plus svg’s to make the door hanger that I posted about below, as well as svg’s to make two different cards and a scrapbook page.  These would be cute to do up a little bigger and stick on a child’s bedroom wall.  Plus, they can be done in different colors so they could work for a girl or boy!  I added some little gems to mine for the eyes and spots on the ladybug, as well as wire for the butterfly antenna.  I also used a pop dot...

Doorhander SVG

Check out this cute little svg doorhanger kit I found from svgcut.com!  It features lots of bugs and colors, perfect for a kids room.  I did this one to the kit instructions, but with Cheryl’s Cute Bugs SVG Kit you could make it for a boys room as well.  The doorhanger kit comes with all the pieces set out for you, and tells you what color to use.  All you have to do is, using your SCAL program, put your paper on your Cricut mat, and hit cut!  It’s so easy.  But, if you would like your hanger to be a little more original I would suggest using some...

SVG Thanksgiving Card

Thanksgiving is fast approaching (well, in Canada anyway), so I thought I would make a cute Thanksgiving card from a kit that I got from SVGCuts.  Instead of just making it into a regular card, I thought it might be cute as a Thanksgiving place card for dinner.  It would add some color to the table, and I thought a note on the inside would make for a nice Thank-You to guests. Instead of making the smaller pumpkin out of paper, I cut it out of an adjustable chalkboard decal.  This way, if you were to keep your place cards, you can easily wipe the names off with a damp...
