<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well hello my cuttin' friends! Yes, I know I have not posted anything in a year, but I am back and ready to start all over.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time, I am going to do things a little differently. I am going to make simple video tutorials to help crafters learn more about digital cutters and cut files. I plan to start out really basic and break the information up in small manageable chunks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know most of you already know quite a bit about this. It would really help me out if you could follow along with the short simple videos to let me know if I left any thing out and check my facts. Since I do not have all the different types of cutting machines, it would help to have contacts that could tell me about the specific functions on the various brands.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In return I will be offering free cut files for you. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can download the "hello" caption and shadow cut files here; <a href="https://www.box.com/s/xiqqlaolaqtk1iqrkeiu">Hello Hello CUWC</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for your support. Hope to "talk" to you later. LOL</span><br />

I am so excited that some of the commercial crafting companies are starting to develop products that are geared towards digital cutting machines. I just watched a video from CHA Winter 2012 where </span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Megan Elizabeth</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">has designed a paper that is customized for electronic die cutting machines. It is called </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paper Layers. The idea is that there are several blocks of coordinating colors on one 12 by 12 scrapbook paper. This would make it easier to cut out different layers and embellishments. Instead of trying to find 9 different colors of paper and then trimming and positioning them on your mat, you could just use one sheet of paper where they have done the work for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example, if I were to cut this schoolhouse image I cut place the cuts in the colored squares.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zvEYsF9g-dA/TzWbLPLYZcI/AAAAAAAAB2Q/RQWg9yRVTew/s1600/color+block+ex.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zvEYsF9g-dA/TzWbLPLYZcI/AAAAAAAAB2Q/RQWg9yRVTew/s320/color+block+ex.png" width="247" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can check it out by going to this link:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IueO6KiD7Ak&feature=colike">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IueO6KiD7Ak&feature=colike</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bazzill paper has also considered digital cutters. They are coming out with 12 by 24 inch paper. That will be great for long projects and will be easier to use when we need to make several cuts with the same colored card stock. They are also coming out with 110 pound card stock for us card makers which will also be good for our 3D paper crafts.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L75rJRB7n64/TzNO9P1fo9I/AAAAAAAAB1Q/BRkRdfpiGYs/s1600/glasses-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="140" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L75rJRB7n64/TzNO9P1fo9I/AAAAAAAAB1Q/BRkRdfpiGYs/s320/glasses-1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, I am not the best stamper, bu that is ok because kids won't care. They will just think they are fun!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EhqbE37JNqQ/TzNPT4VpxXI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/4Be7JxDFxKY/s1600/glasses-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="88" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EhqbE37JNqQ/TzNPT4VpxXI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/4Be7JxDFxKY/s320/glasses-2.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I embossed these images with some fun hot pink embossing powder. A word of caution though, you will want to stay away from using glitter or even glittery embossing powers since kids will have these near their eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made mine from cardstock. You could easily cut plain cardstock and add a layer of patterned paper over it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is how I put them together. You can add plastic to the center if you wish.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can download the cut files and the PDF printable file that you could print out and cut by hand. Whatever you do, just have fun.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffe599;">re-sized.</span> I do not have a small child any more to try them out on. I used my best guess.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would love to hear feedback on whether or not the "child" file should be re-sized and measurements. Thanks!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have decided to start posting content that electric cutter users will find interesting.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyone have a Sizzix E-clips? Tim Holtz just made a video about his new cartridges that go along with his stamps the line is called Stamp2cut. He is introducing it at CHA and it should start shipping in March.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I know, I am disappointed that is a cartridge based system. Look at it this way, if Tim Holtz is starting to include electric cutters in his craft line, then other companies are sure to follow suit in the future.</span></div>

We will still have a Show and Tell next week, but this will be the last challenge. Unfortunately, it is a lot of work and we are not having very many participants. Over 1000 files have been downloaded but we have just had a handful of people actually play along. I want to thank all of you who supported us. I have appreciated each and every project and comment. I have learned a lot and enjoyed this blog while it lasted. I will eternally cherish the design team members who went along on this journey with me. You ladies ROCK!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope to join up with the DT ladies soon for a blog hop. I will also be giving away cut files on my blog from time to time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, if we have to go out, let's go out with a bang. The challenge this week is to use this gingerbread file on a project of your choice. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello bloggers. Hope you are having a great time crafting whenever you can find an break during this busy season. Hope you are able to stay warm, too. <b>Our guest designer, Yolie from <a href="http://www.justyolie.com/">Just Yolie, Just Create</a> is sure to warm your heart with the project she is sharing with us today.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, here are some questions in case inquiring minds want to know...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Where do you live?</b> I was born, raised and live in Southern California.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>How long have you been crafting?</b> I have been crafting in one form or another for most of my life, but when it comes to paper crafts, I have been playing with paper for about 8 years. My dry hands are testimony to it, paper sure dries up your hands. Or is it just me? Bring out the Kerri bottle!</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>What do you do when you are not crafting?</b> What? Is there life out there besides crafting? Kiddin’, my husband and I love to travel. We have visited several states and traveled to Europe. We would love to visit Ireland again, but currently planning a cruise. (I am building up the courage to book it)</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>What types of projects do you enjoy the most? </b>Scrapbooking is my first love, but at the time I write this, it’s card season. Therefore, you will see many cards on my blog.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>What is your favorite craft tool?</b> Well, that changes. Sometimes my cutting machine is my favorite, but right now, my embossing machine is my favorite tool.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>What is your favorite form of bling?</b> I love my rhinestones, all shapes and color. I also like glitter however; it sure is difficult to clean up, cheesecloth or no cheesecloth, glitter lingers forever!</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>Is there a line of papers that makes your heart sing? </b><i><span lang="EN">“Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do” </span></i><span lang="EN">I simply love all paper so I do not have a favorite line.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>What do you do with all the wonderful craft projects that you make? </b>I create all my cards to give to someone. I also create them to give away to charity. My scrap pages are all mine to keep and eventually passed down to my goddaughter Dulce.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>What is the next big craft item on your wish list?</b> Let’s see, I think the Big Shot or the Cameo cutting machine. Dilemma! I don’t have room for either! =)</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello, I have a special treat for you today. We have a guest designer to share with you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jean from <a href="http://www.jeanscraftycorner.blogspot.com/">Jean's Crafty Corner</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She is a very creative crafter who always inspires me with her wonderful projects.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are a few things to help us get to know a little more about Jean.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); font-family: Arial; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Where do you live?</span> Huntsville, Alabama </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">How long have you been crafting?</span> Ever since I can remember. My mom used to make crafts for all of our classes. She was also a cake decorator, so I think her craftiness rubbed off on me. I began scrapbooking when my niece was born 7 years ago and now I do all of her crafts for school and friends. I also started sewing in April of this year and that has become a new crafting passion of mine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">What do you do when you are not crafting?</span> I love to read, go bowling and go swimming. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">What types of projects do you enjoy the most?</span> I really enjoy making scrapbook layouts the most.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">What is you favorite craft tool?</span> Definitely my Cricut. I don't think I could live without it, because I use them everyday. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">(I use my cutter everyday too Jean :)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">What is your favorite form of bling?</span> Glitter, I want to put glitter on everything I use.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Is there a line of papers that makes your heart sing?</span> Graphic 45, however I hardly ever use it, because once I buy it I can't bring myself to use it. I have a whole stash that I just hoard away, lol. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">(I certainly can relate to that)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">What do you do with all the wonderful craft projects that you make?</span> Most of the crafts I make are for my niece and her friends. I also make crafts to decorate my home and my mom's home for all of the holidays.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">What is the next big craft item on your wish list?</span> I recently got a sewing machine for my birthday in April and I love it, so now I am hoping to upgrade and get an Embroidery Machine, so I think that is the next big item I would like to get.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And here are a few of Jean's creations she made to share with the class.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eva chose to "trick" and make a door hanger with some special treats attached.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She put the BOO! poem on a card at the top</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She also made a little treat bag from one of my files and attached the bag to the bottom of the door hanger. (The treat bag and label are available on my Etsy store)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lisa also entered a project that is really cute. She had a great idea for turning the door hanger into a little treat holder. I don't have permission to post her pictures yet, but you can check her project out at <a href="http://lisaspaperaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/10/door-hanger-treat.html">Lisa's Paper Addiction</a>.</span><br />

I thought I would share another leaf project I made with the files I am giving out this week.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is a leaf shaker card.</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I cut the leaf shape out of the front of the card and cut lots of little leaves to go in the center. I cut 14 of the leaf frame shapes out. Then I inked the front of one frame and the back of another frame.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I attached a piece of acetate behind the front frame, stacked and glued 12 frames together, inserted little leaves, and attached acetate to the back. I put that on the front and glued the one remaining frame to the inside of the card which is the other side of the window.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Fall Fun caption is one of a set of captions I gave away on the second post. Scroll down and you can download it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope you enjoyed this project and are planning to make a leaf project of your own to link up.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11124612377527090962noreply@blogger.com2
