Hi Everyone,

I have loved spending the last few days working on files for the e-craft.  It has been a challenge, but in a good way.  Here is a short video that I made that shows how you can create your own svg files that draw and cut in the same step in the E-Craft Pro software.
 

I think that it is pretty cool.  I love the fact that I can create a card and have the e-craft write out my personalized sentiment.  My mind is spinning with different ideas for my daughters 4th birthday coming up.  It will also be perfect, for creating our own score marks for boxes, bags and other designs.  I have to get some different pen colors besides black though :o)  The cheapest place that I found is on the CraftEdge website HERE for $10.99 and free shipping.

The Draw RGBA color is ED1C24FF. 

Happy cutting and drawing on your E-Craft!

I turned 2 of my previous designs into party invitations using Cri-Kits gel pens.  I love these gels pens!!!!

Please visit Clever Some Day’s blog She has a link on her blog to the Stymie Hairline font that I used on these invitations.  You can download it for FREE!

I created a short little video using the Cri-Kits gel pens.  If you are not sure how to setup the font in inkscape you can see the video from my prior post here.

I am including the tree and cupcake svg in the same zip file for download.  I sized each to fit into an A2 size envelope!

I get asked over and over about cutting fabric on the cricut.  I have several blog post here on how I do it. Christian has come up with a new way to cut fabric on the cricut, you just have to see this video!  He is so talented

I had someone ask me how to turn a coloring book page into an svg file. Instead of writing step by step instructions, I thought that it would be easier to do a short video tutorial. This tutorial shows you how to turn a coloring book page (using inkscape) into an svg file that can be cut out on your cricut using Sure Cut’s A Lot.

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to share this next video.  I like cutting fabric on my cricut but it does take time and planning.  I still love my cricut, but I love cutting fabric on my Sizzix Big Shot Express as well.  I have been wanting to make my kids each a blanket.  Something mom made them and that they will have for a long long long time. (hopefully)  A few months ago, Sizzix had some quilting dies on there site.  They said you can find them in your local crafting store…. yeah right.  I looked and looked and could not find them.  Finally I sent an e-mail to Sizzix and asked what’s up?  They said that there dies have been postponed until sometime in June.  They have in fact just released the Westminster die collection.  While I was searching though for the Sizzix quilting dies I learned about the Accuquilt fabric cutting system at Joann’s.  They use dies just like the Sizzix.  I love the dies but sure don’t want to spend another $349.00 on a machine.  I went online and searched and searched and finally came across a blogger who could answer my question.  Can you cut an Accuquilt die on the big shot or big kick?  The answer is yes and yes! Kind of, read and view on and you will see.  First, I want to give credit where credit is due, Lori Holt posted that she was able to on her blog. http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-way-to-cut-fabric.html Yes, I finally had my answer.  I am so excited to try it.  Here is my video!  A huge thank you Lori.

I have to say that I love, love, love these dies.  They cut so well and I am so excited to use there dies.  I found the Accuquilt critter die on e-bay and I can not wait for it to come.

You can check out the dies on the Accuquilt website here. They have wider dies but you can only use the 6 inch wide or smaller on the big kick or big shot.  If you happen to own a big shot pro then you can use all the sizes.

I will be doing another video soon showing the Sizzix Westminster dies so check back soon!
