Here is an old clasic notes style design!  Nested up a bit.  The svg file is designed in layers to make it easier to cut with your favorite cutting machine!

I have been lusting after an Ipad for awhile. This past weekend I discovered that Wal-Mart was making room for the new Ipad 2 that comes out tomorrow by reducing the price of the original Ipads 100.00. My sister let me use her employee discount so we were able to get an extra 10% off. Since Ipads never go on sale, I decided to go for it.

There is an app called RDP that allows you to connect to other computers on your network. I am now typing this out in Internet explorer on my IPAD. I have read that there is a way to setup RDP to run on 3G but I have not figured that part out yet. I was able to successfully connect the Ipad to my Windows 7 Desktop and design in inkscape, Make The Cut and Sure Cut’s Alot all from my IPAD. The RDP app is fully feature and allows you to drag and click. It takes just a little bit of getting use to but I loved it!

This is my first design from my Ipad so I wanted to keep it a bit simple.  I have to say that I think that this software app works well and it was super great not to be forced to sit in front of my actual computer.  This was entirely done sitting on my couch!

The svg, MTC, and SCUT2 files are in layers so that you can turn them on or off.

It sure has been a while…..Thank you for being so patient and understanding while I have been on a break.  NO more though!  Here is a cute sailboat svg.  It also comes with a anchor and life preserver. 

The svg file is in layers, I have also included the Make the Cut file and Scut2 file for Sure Cut’s A Lot

I can’t believe it is almost Christmas.  Time is flying by so quick!  We took the kids to see Santa this past weekend.   They were so excited until we got right to him.  Then neither one of them wanted to sit on Santa’s lap or have pictures taken.  I was hoping that we would be able to get a quick picture but instead we just waved  to him and walked through the exit.  Maybe next year.  They love Santa when they see him on the TV.  There favorite Christmas move is the Search For Santa Paws.  When it comes on we have to be on the ready to applaud when ordered.  If we don’t, then we get scolded.  We have to clap for Santa and Mrs Clause when they sing and dance!

Here is a Christmas Stocking svg for you to download.

The zip file included .MTC (Make The Cut), SCUT2 (Sure Cut’s ALot) and SVG.

The file is also in layers so you can turn on and off each layer in SCAL2 when cutting.

Happy Holidays!

Hello,

I have been busy finishing up my Christmas cards.  I am so excited because I have tried for the past couple of years to make my own but I usually end up running to the store to buy some at the last minute to mail out.  I am so glad that I can say, not this year!!!

Here are pictures of the cards I made.

It took a while to do but I am really happy with how they turned out.  I used the Sending Holiday Cheer stamps from Hero Arts.  I stamped the house on white cardstock with embossing ink, sprinkled Ranger Gold Superfine embossing powder on it.  Heated it with the my Darice heat tool.  Colored it in with copic markers and finished it with Crystal Stickles.  Not all embossing powders are the same.  I tried a brand that I picked up at Michael’s and did not get any where near the effect that I got with the Ranger brand.  Definitely worth the effort to hunt this brand down because it gives you a nice gold raised embossed look.  Exactly what I was looking for. 

I used my Sizzix Stampin Up Top Note Die to cut the white pearl paper.  I stamped the trees in Stampin Up Green Galore and sprinkled Ranger Embossing Tinsel (Bridal) on them and then heated it with my heat tool.  I Stamped the Merry Christmas on it with embossing ink and used the superfine gold embossing powder on it and heated that as well. I used an 18k gold leaf pen (I picked it up at Joann’s with a 50% off coupon) to color the gold line around the top note cut out.  I found that it was easier to use a small piece of transparency paper to draw the gold leafing out ot the pen and then used the pen like a paint brush to go around the outside.  It helped achieve an even look doing it this way.    

I attached the house to the card with pop dots and then used pink ATG to adhere the top note cut out to the card.  Stamped the inside of the card with Memento ink (dried almost instantly).  I have to say that I love love love the rock a blocks that I bought for stamping.  I used the score line for a guide to line up the stamp.  Rocked the stamp down and that was it.  Perfect stamp every time.   

Here is the Christmas Candle SVG that I promised.  It did this in layers, so you should be able to turn on and off each layer when cutting it in SCAL2.  The SVG, MTC (Make The Cut)  and SCUT 2 (Sure Cut’s Alot) files are included in the zip for download.

I just wanted to say thank you for stopping by my blog.  I love blogging and feel badly that I have not been able to post a lot of new files this holiday season.  I have been working on a few files and will try and post them when I can.
