Mardi Gras Mask with SVG Files

The Mardi Gras parades have started in New Orleans and the Saints are going to the Super Bowl! Laissez les bon temps rouler! Throw me somethin' mista!

Cuttlebug and Cricut are wearing their Mardi Gras masks. They're the Kricut Krewe!

This card can be used as a note card or as a table decoration. Purple, green and gold (golden yellow is often substituted) are the traditional colors of Mardi Gras, so it's best for you to use these colors.

Use 8-1/2" x 11" white card stock folded in half. Cut the purple mask and attach to the card so that the top 1/2" of the mask floats above the crease of the card. Cut the yellow, green and red and place onto the card as shown. You can cut off the top of the mask or score and fold so that the card will fit into a standard 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" greeting card envelope.

Four SVG files (purple, green, yellow and redlips) provided and can be downloaded below. The SVG files can be cut using the Sure Cuts A Lot software and a Cricut® cutting machine.

New York Skyline Note Card with SVG Files

Use 8-1/2" x 11" white card stock folded in half. Cut the blue background and atttach to white card stock. Cut the black skyline with border and words and attach over the blue background. Finished card will fit into a standard 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" greeting card envelope.

Please note that the blue background does not get centered on the card, and you should place the center of the blue approximately 1/4" above the center of the white card stock to adjust for the words at the bottom of the black overlay (the top of the blue should be about 1" from the top of the card).

This cut would also be nice on a memory page made for a trip to New York.

Two SVG files (blue and skyline) provided and can be downloaded below. The SVG files can be cut using the Sure Cuts A Lot software and a Cricut® cutting machine.

Gift Card Holder with SVG Files

www.paperyoga.com

Here's a pattern for a typical sized gift card holder that can be cut using a Cricut® Personal Electronic Cutter (or any of the other Cricut machines) and Sure Cuts A Lot software. The pattern size is "maxed out" at 5-1/2" so placement of the pattern on the Sure Cuts A Lot "mat" is somewhat critical. Once you've cut the basic pattern, you'll need to score the tabs and the bottom flap. Score the tabs first, and then adhere the patterned inside card section to the base before scoring the bottom flap. The holder should be scored again at 3-3/4" from the bottom (with flap folded up) to form the top overlay. Glue the tabs to the card and decorate the front with the circle and words.

The gift card can placed into the holder either vertically or horizontally (as shown at right). I'll be designing more of these in the future, and already have an idea for one with cut out holes for a ribbon or other closure at the bottom. Three SVG files (base pattern, words and pieces for the patterned paper) provided. Download SVG files below.

Zebra Note Card with SVG File

The idea for this card came from the Scrap Coloring web site, which I found by reading the Clever Someday blog. Scrap Coloring has a wide selection of SVG files that are perfect for tweaking into SVG's for use with your Cricut. The zebra image caught my eye, so I did a screen capture of the image and brought it into Adobe Illustrator for editing into an SVG that would work well with the Silhouette Cameo and Sure Cuts A Lot software. This zebra image was created by DragonArtz and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States license. Any images of this zebra that you save or print are therefore licensed under the same license. Many thanks to DragonArtz for drawing this beautiful zebra and making it available for others to use! Thanks to Stephane at Scrap Coloring for providing me with the licensing details for the zebra image. Use black 8-1/2" x 11" card stock folded in half. Cut the zebra, glue it to white card stock, cut the white card stock to the size of the zebra and glue to the black card. Finished card size is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and will fit into a standard 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" greeting card envelope. Download SVG file below.
