Christmas 2011



This blog has moved to
www.paperyoga.com

 
This Christmas card was designed so that it would be simple enough to cut and assemble in multiples. It took me about 3 hours to complete 20 cards, including the printing and attaching of the inside greeting. The SVG files provided are set up with multiple cuts of the same graphic, and are designed to fit on the small 6" x 12" cutting mat.

Cut as many wreaths as you need using bright green card stock, an equal quantity of bows using neon pink card stock, an equal quantity of the word "JOY" using neon orange card stock, and an equal quantity of the word "PEACE" using process blue card stock. Spray the backs of all pieces with spray glue. Use 8-1/2" x 11" black card stock folded in half for the base of the cards. Attach all of the wreaths first, then the bows and then the words "PEACE" and "JOY."


A PDF file of the inside greeting shown above is included with the SVG files. Print as many of the inside greeting as you need. If printing on 8-1/2" x 11" paper, you should cut 1/2" from all sides of the paper so that the inside greeting is 7-1/2" x 10".

Fold the inside greeting pages in half. Use a glue stick to put a small dot of glue on the back side of each of the top 2 corners of the inside greeting, and on the back top center below the fold. Carefully place the folded inside greeting into the folded outside card and press down to adhere the greeting to the inside of the card. Finished card will fit into a standard 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" greeting card envelope.


Four SVG files (wreath2, bow6, peace6 and joy9) and one PDF file of the inside greeting are provided and can be downloaded below. The SVG files can be cut using the Sure Cuts A Lot software and a Cricut® cutting machine.

Claddagh Note Card with SVG Files



This blog has moved to
www.paperyoga.com

 
This Irish Claddagh design can be used as a friendship card for St. Patrick's Day. The Old Irish Blessing below is the ideal sentiment for the inside of the card.

Typically used as a design on rings, the Claddagh is a symbol which is rich in history and tradition. The original Claddagh ring was crafted in or near the fishing village of Claddagh in County Galway on the western coast of Ireland. The heart signifies love, the crown symbolizes loyalty, and the hands denote friendship.

The Claddagh ring has been given in Ireland as both a friendship ring and a wedding ring and is popular to this day. The motto of the Claddagh is "let love and friendship reign."

Use 8-1/2" x 11" dark green card stock folded in half. Cut the white oval with words and adhere to the green card stock. Cut the gold oval with small circles and crown and adhere the oval on top of the white oval. Cut the black oval and adhere within the gold oval. Finally, cut the red heart and attach the heart, crown and gold dots to the card. Finished card will fit into a standard 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" greeting card envelope.

Four SVG files (white, black, gold and red) provided and can be downloaded below. The SVG files can be cut using the Sure Cuts A Lot software and a Cricut® cutting machine.

Tiger Note Card with SVG Files



This blog has moved to
www.paperyoga.com

 
The Zebra Note Card has become such a popular download that I decided to make the tiger image from the Scrap Coloring web site into a cutting file also. The illustration was done by Stephane at Scrap Coloring and is derived from a photograph of a Malayan Tiger by B cool on Wikipedia.

Someone on the Cricut Message Boards cut the Zebra SVG from vinyl and used it to make a "skin" for their laptop computer. This tiger image would also look great on a laptop (for a black laptop, use white vinyl and weed away the border and interior sections as one piece).

Start with 8-1/2" x 11" bright green card stock folded in half. Cut the tiger from black card stock and spray the back side with spray glue. Cut the tiger background shape from white card stock and adhere to the back of the tiger cut. Cut the square from bright green card stock (I used neon fluorescent green card stock) and adhere to the back of the tiger (the square SVG file is included, but not shown below — you can also cut the square by hand). Glue the assembled black, white and green tiger piece to the green card. Finished card will fit into a standard 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" greeting card envelope.

Three SVG files (tiger, white and square) provided and can be downloaded below. The SVG files can be cut using the Sure Cuts A Lot software and a Cricut® cutting machine.

Winter Magic Note Card with SVG Files

We've been having so much snow lately (and there's more on the way this evening) that I decided to make a card that shows the magical, simple beauty that can be found in nature after a snowfall...and I think that squirrels are cute and very entertaining!


This is the second version of this design – the first version was in a vertical format and had the squirrel's eyes and nose cut as separate pieces, which were so small that they were nearly impossible to work with. This redesign includes the eyes and nose in the cut pattern along with the black sky area, which makes the assembly of this card quite easy. The original design also included a shadow and footprints for the squirrel, and I might add those at some point in the future.

Use 8-1/2" x 11" white card stock folded in half. Cut the black sky and attach to white card stock. Cut the squirrel using gray card stock, and position so that the black eyes and mouth show through on the squirrel's face. Finished card will fit into a standard 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" greeting card envelope.

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

Celebrate! Card with SVG Files



This blog has moved to
www.paperyoga.com




I had to do some Paper Yoga to CELEBRATE! my winning of a Gypsy from Nicole at the Confessions of a Cropoholic blog.
Thanks again, Nicole! Thanks again Provo Craft!

Nicole does some beautiful blog designs at reasonable prices - The Pixel Boutique - and she always seems to be giving something away on one of her blogs. I also bought a new cartridge (Destinations) for my Gypsy to celebrate some more!

The idea for this card came from a silkscreen print by pop artist Romero Britto.
I used fluorescent neon yellow card stock for the wine bottle label and words. The yellow color really POPS when surrounded by the black outline. Purple card stock was used for the wine and heart.

Use white 8-1/2" x 11" card stock folded in half for the base card. Cut all of your pieces, spray the back side of the black outline with spray glue, and then attach the yellow wine label to the back. Next, attach the purple wine to the back, as well as the purple flower. Attach this entire assembled piece to the white card stock and then attach the yellow words and yellow flower center to the front. Finally, attach the two black circles (that surround the flower centers) to the front. 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.

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

Mardi Gras Mask with SVG Files



This blog has moved to
www.paperyoga.com

 

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



This blog has moved to
www.paperyoga.com

 
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



This blog has moved to
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



This blog has moved to
www.paperyoga.com

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.
