Baby animal cut files

Made for a fellow cricuteer 'vipernurse', after she requested help on the cricut design studio forum. I have decided to post these earlier than I was going to due to problems I am experiencing with my laptop, and the mouse is not sensitive enough to work with design studio, gonna have to get a new laptop! Once I have I will then be able to complete this task, I have around another three or so to make! Hope you like them, and if you would like to donate to a 'new laptop fund', your generosity would be most appreciated! Here is the posting and includes the animal sizes: http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=5134154

Exploding Handbag cut file

Designed on the cricut design studio using GBS, I heard about exploding handbag cards and liked the thought of them so I designed my own template on CDS. They simply go inside each other (like an exploding box) and the flap tucks into the slot.

Double Slider Friendship Card

Another Double slider card, this is smaller than the last and will fit into a C6 envelope.











Instructions on how to make this card:

1. Cut a piece of card 29.5 cm x 14 cm
2. Score at the following intervals: 9.5 cm; 19 cm; and at 28.5 cm.
3. Cut 2 pieces 14 cm x 8.5 cm
4. Cut a piece of plastic carrier bag measuring 3 cm x 30 cm
5. Wrap this around the end panel, which doesn't have the tuck flap on it and adhere into place - not to tight - to fit comfortably, remove any access.
6. Using double side sticky tape fix the side panels into place (good idea to carry out your layering before adhering). Place 1 facing up and the other facing down, check before securing to ensure in correct position!
7. Using double sided tape adhere to the flap, placing the side panel within the tuck to allow movement, and secure into place.
8. Decorate, and add ribbon / tassel to act as a pulley!

Optional:

To cut away using a circle punch a semi circle in the middle of the end panel without the flap to allow for easy access to the ribbon / tassel

Baby Girl Onesie Card

I designed this card, made and used a paper template. Added a few embellishments and ended up with this, pretty pleased with the end result.


Baby boy bookatrix decoupage card

Designed using the Bookatrix board from the glitter girls, to get the book shape. Right hand page left blank to put baby's name; date / time of birth; weight; and height making it a keepsake for the receivers.




Double Slider Christmas card

My sister Shell showed me a card, and asked me to pull the ribbon on the right hand side of the card, to my awe the card expanded not just the right side but from the left side also. It reveiled a place where you write a message along with another picture. Shell then dismantled it to show me how this worked: recycled strip of plastic wrapped around the the third panel, having two separate cards slightly smaller than the actual card panels each then adheared to the plastic one faced up and the other faced downwards, closed together by a small flap adheared to the inside of the card, tucking the card peice into the flap before adhearing allowing the card peices to slide freely.


















Instructions on how to make this card:

1. Cut a piece of card 38.5 cm x 23 cm
2. Score at the following intervals: 12.5 cm; 22 cm; and at 31.5 cm.
3. cut 2 pieces 17 cm x 11.5 cm
4. Cut a piece of plastic carrier bag measuring 6 cm x 46 cm
5. Wrap this around the end panel, which doesn't have the tuck flap on it and adhere into place - not to tight - to fit comfortably, remove any access.
6. Using double side sticky tape fix the side panels into place (good idea to carry out your layering before adhering). Place 1 facing up and the other facing down, check before securing to ensure in correct position!
7. Using double sided tape adhere to the flap, placing the side panel within the tuck to allow movement, and secure into place.
