"Get Well" Baseball Box Card

I made this card for my father-in-law who’s recovering from knee replacement surgery. Since it’s almost baseball season and he’s a big Chicago Cubs fan, I thought it would be just the thing to cheer him up a bit.

He's one of the sweetest people you'll meet, and I hope it's a reminder for him ...

Design Inspiration: Claddagh Heart

I just had to see how our Hanging Geometric Heart project would look in GREEN with a pretty gold claddagh heart design on the front. I love it!

Not only would it make a lovely treat for someone come March, but who wouldn't love it as part of some St. Patrick's Day decor. For something so special-looking, it's hard to believe how quickly ...


SVGCuts-October-Chart

Top October Downloads of All Time

Out of curiosity, I just tallied up the most popular Kits during each October since SVGCuts began in 2009. It breaks down to about half Halloween, then Christmas/Fall just about makes up the other half. 🙂

That's about where my mind is at now, too - thinking about Christmas and getting excited, but also giving Halloween and Fall lots of thought. It's that time of ...

Why Don't I See the SVG File I Just Inserted in Cricut Design Space?

"I purchased the Carousel Ride SVG kit. I downloaded it and uploaded it to my Cricut. When I went to use it, there is nothing showing up on my canvas." ~Sue

Unfortunately, something has changed in the Cricut Design Space software, and some SVG files are importing “off the mat.”

If this happens, you can click on the file name in your Layers window to select it, and then enter “zero” and ...

Why Are My Score Lines on a Different Mat in Cricut Design Space?

If you're cutting out an SVG file that has score lines or numbers on it, you have to "attach" the lines in the Cricut Design Space software.

Missing this step is a VERY common problem that new users have. And there's really no way for anyone to know that it's necessary.

We get several messages a day from people asking ...

How Do You Cut SVG Files with a Brother ScanNCut Machine?

We aren't "affiliated" with Brother, however, we regularly get e-mails from people asking how to cut SVG files with their Brother ScanNCut machine.

So, let's break it down! 🙂
The New ScanNCut Machine
The new Brother ScanNCut2 machine DOES cut SVG files directly, so all you need to do is load them onto your machine and cut.

The original Brother ScanNCut machine does ...

"What kind of glue should I use?"

I haven't tried TOO many other glues, but sometimes people ask me what kind of glue I use.

I've been doing paper craft projects regularly for about 10 years, and my absolute favorite is Scotch Tacky Glue. It comes in 2 oz. bottles and 4 oz. bottles.

It used to be ...
