New Year Bears

I can't believe that in 2 days we will be saying 

goodbye to 2018 and hello to 2019.

This year has flown by sooooo fast.

For my layout this week, I used the file

New Year Bears.

I used the Print then Cut feature to make them

with the pngs in the file.

I printed them twice so that I could cut the parts

out that I wanted to stand out,

I used 3D Zots to give those

pieces (head, hands, feet, bows, etc) dimension.

I think they would be really cute on a card with the 

Wobble Springs on their heads.

Be sure to check out the Digi Cute Designs.

They have so much higher resolution than

the pngs in the cut files.

Santa's Watching

Has Santa been watching at your house?

He will soon be coming (2 more sleeps).

Santa's Watching is a perfect file to put on a

layout to remember the wonderment of that

Special night and day.

Owl Be Home For Christmas

When I saw the Owl Be Home for Christmas

I thought of the song sung by Bing Crosby called

I'll Be Home for Christmas.

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.

The file can be found here: 

Owl Be Home for Christmas.

I made a grid using some images from

Cricut Design Space.

My son is in the Navy and every year I dream of him

coming home for Christmas. I miss him so much.

The image is "Welcome home soldier."

My son is a sailor so it is not quite right with the 

sailor hat and submarine but

I loved the saying. Being a grid I made,

I can change it or leave it.

If you would like the grid file, her IT is.

I'd be happy to help you make your own as well,

Christmas Fireplace and tags

What a fun and festive time of year!

Cuddly Cute Design's creator is making

tons of new files and might I say,

they are so Cuddly and Cute.

This layout uses 5 of those new files:

Christmas Fireplace

Stocking Tags - Moose & Penguin

Stocking Tags - Ginger & Snowman

Stocking Tags - Santa & Reindeer

and Christmas Pet Tags.

I created a grid using the Christmas Fireplace file.

I am not sure if it is shareable but here IT is.

If you would like to make your own grids, let me know.

I would be glad to help you.

Calendar Bears - January

Here is the next Calendar Bear in the Calendar Bear group.

This comes from the file Calendar Bears Jan-Mar.

I enlarged the file so that the piece would end up
being about 11 inches wide.

Some lucky teacher will be getting this set of calendar toppers
to use in her classroom.

Baking Christmas Cookies

The smells of Christmas goodies

fill our homes and tempt us to indulge.

The memories of making those goodies with family

are sure to be treasured.

This layout uses the file Baking Christmas Cookies.

I remember the days when I used to bake cookies

with my boys (they were much much younger then).

Polar Bears

Aren't these bears these cutest?

These bears come from the file Polar Bears.

So many of the files on Cuddly Cute Designs are versatile.

I choose to put these on some cards that I had made

up to have on hand for a time when

I need a quick card. Imagine having a bunch

of cute little pieces such as these

Polar Bears made up and being able to use

fast when needed. In no time, you would have a

homemade card to give to someone.

Better than a store-bought card any day.

Christmas Carols and Howling Cuties

These cute carolers and wolves have

joined to bring some Christmas joy

with music.

This layout uses two cut files:

Christmas Carols and Howling Cuties.

I can just see those howling wolves singing along

with carolers as the fill the night air with

glad tidings.

Boating Cuties

Have you ever been on a boat

speeding through the water and feel the

wind and water on you?

For this layout, I used the cut file

Boating Cuties.

I can't wait to use it to scrapbook

my memory of the boat ride

my father-in-law took me on.

It was my first time.

Holly Jolly Christmas Hop

HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS HOP

Welcome to the Cuddly Cute Designs HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS HOP!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and each of our Design Team members have created some delightful Christmas/Winter projects that will put the Holly and Jolly in your holiday scrapbooking, cardmaking, and decorating mojo!

You have reached The Cuddling Corner for Cuddly Cute Design crafts by Donette.

I have created 4 layouts to bring in some holiday cheer.

The first layout, Winter Break, I used the cut files

Bus Stop and Christmas Sweaters.

I needed the children to be smaller than the bus I

wanted to be sure and have all the details that the

file has on the sweaters so I used the png file

and made a print then cut image.

The second layout, Baked With Christmas Love, I used

a file from the digi part of Cuddly Cute Designs called

Digi Cute Designs. The file is called Baked with Christmas Love DSK.

The file has everything in it that you will need to make a double

page layout. Just print it out, cut and create. Add your

pictures and you have a cute layout to

save those memories.

The third layout, Gingerbread Making, I used the file

Gingerbread House. It was perfect for

the masterpiece my sons created out of gingerbread

one year for Christmas.

My last layout is a simple layout that I created with the file

CutieKins Elves. I used just the elves from the file

but there are also toys in the file that you can use as well.

I also created a Christmas grid for the layout. If you have stuck it out and read through my post and have come here for the blog, I am going to share my grid file

with you: https://design.cricut.com/#/design/114745464. Be sure to leave a comment and like my blog and

Have a Very Merry Christmas

and happy crafting as always!

Bananas for Ice Cream

Who else has a family member that

is Bananas for Ice Cream?

I have two family members that are so

I knew I just had to make this layout.

The cut file I used was

Bananas for Ice Cream.

Guess I better grab the camera the next time

they eat ice cream.

Bloom Where You are Planted

I thought some cheery colors

were in order. After the beautiful

autumn leaves have fallen and the snow

has yet to make an appearance, things get

kind of dull colorwise.

For this layout, I used two cut files.

Bloom title

Garden Bunny

CutieKins Ducks

My projects today show how

one file can be used in many ways.

First, I used CutieKins Ducks on a

summery bendi card.

Second, I used CutieKins Ducks on a

wintery layout with the ducks wearing

sweaters from the 

Christmas Sweaters cut file.

It was easy to do because their wings were

similar to the arms of the children

in the original file. Just glued the

sweater parts on the ducks.

Snow Puppy Pal - Thor

This summer we adopted a beautiful
Siberian puppy.
He has tons of energy but we
LOVE HIM.

For this cute layout, I used the cut file
Snow Puppy Pal.

His name is Thor. I can't wait to be able to
print the photo and put it on this layout.
The border and banner are from Cricut Design Space.

This House is Under Elf Surveillance

How many houses are under Elf surveillance?

At least parental "elf" surveillance.

I used three cute files for this layout. 

Elf Cuties

Elf Tags

Christmas borders

I used the boy Elf Cutie for the elf on the shelf.

I put one leg out to the side to hopefully look like

he was sitting on the shelf. I got the shelf from

Cricut Design Space. The stocking borders are from

the Christmas borders. There are several different

borders in that file. I used just two of the elves

from Elf tags for peekers on the photo mats.

I made the sentiment myself 

using the write option in Cricut Design Space.

Calendar Bears December

Over the next year, once a month, I 

will be sharing parts of a wonderful set

of files from Cuddly Cute Designs.

This set is called Calander Bears.

This month comes from Calendar Bears October - December.
I enlarged the file so that the piece would end up
being about 11 inches wide.

Some lucky teacher will be getting this set of calendar toppers
to use in her classroom.

Watching the Fireworks and Sparkle Title (just for fun)

This is from Cuddly Cute Designs
Watching Fireworks

4th of July Mouse (Just for Fun).

I Wuf You

I have one more project from Digi Cute Designs.

Make sure to keep checking Digi Cute Designs as new files

are being added all the time.

The file I used was I Wuf You.

Those puppies have personality plus.

One of the puppies is a peeker looking

over the edge of the photo matt. The file comes

with its body too if you choose to use it another way.

I added some red ribbon in the bottom border for some

bling and to make the layout more my own design.

The possibilities are endless.

(See my out Digi Cute Designs posts

for sizing tips.)

Got Carrots?

This week I have another

file from Digi Cute Designs.

New files are being added to it all the time.

The file I used was

Got Carrots?

I totally love those bunnies and can see

them on cards and Easter Layouts as well.

This file is a scrapbook kit.

You can use all of it of just the pieces you want.

If you print them the size they load, they are the

same size as used in the sample layout sample on

the website. You will need to resize the borders

by keeping the proportions as you lengthen them to 12 inches.

There is also, digital paper to print if you want that. You

will need to enlarge it too.

The pieces can be sized to any size you want them too.

Keep the same layout or make your own.

Indian Mouse

Now that Halloween has come and gone,

it is time to move on to

Thanksgiving.

How many things are you thankful for.

I have a lot to be thankful for including

my friend.

For my card today, I used the file Indian Mouse.

I used the png of the Indian Mouse for the card so I could get it

small. I also made the cut file to make a

paper piecing of it to use later in a layout.

"When I count my blessings, I count you twice."

Turtle Power

Did you know that Cuddly Cute Designs

also has another store on the

internet?

They do!

It is called Digi Cute Designs.

Still amazing cuteness but

it is all digital images that can

be printed off and used in any

project that you want to.

They also have 

Scrapbook kits that have everything

you need to make a layout (except glue, printer and

your pictures).

Since my printer doesn't print 12 inches,

I downloaded all the images to a Word document

(they download into the same size that Tami used

when she made the kit sample layouts so

if you want it just like or similar to what she did just

download and you didn't even have to

figure the sizes out). You can size them to whatever

size that you want also.

I sent them to our local printer. Once

they were printed I cut them out, glued them on

my layout and added wording and pictures.

It was that simple.

You can use the images as a print and cut as

long as you only want a size that works in the cutter's program.

I made my layouts just as Tami did to show how

easy and how the sizes download the way

she designed her layouts.

This layout is Turtle Power.

Hope you visit Digi Cute Designs and

take advantage of the wonderful

images there.

Be sure to share what you make on the

Cuddly Cute Designs Facebook fan page.

Scare Bears Witch & Mummy

Another cute file in Scare Bears collection.

Scare Bears Witch & Mummy

Witches and Mummies could never

be cuter.

It's like magic!

Spooky Cutie Devils

Too Devilish cute!

This project uses the file

Spooky Cutie Devils.

It's amazing what cute files designed

by Cuddly Cute Designs' Tami Gonzalez,

a cutting tool, paper, some ink, and glue

can turn into something so amazing.

Spooky Cutie Witch

More spooks coming your way.

This cutie is Spooky Cutie Witch.

Her cat and she are just too sweet to spook.

I put her with a Witch boot that I made. The pattern for the boot can be found on SVG Attic.

Oh Snap!

A fun Thanksgiving tradition is

the breaking of the wishbone.

Oh Snap!

is an awesome cute file to

create a layout with the fun photos

of the wishbone breaking at your house.

Pilgrim Bears

I can smell the pumpkin pies cooking

now. A favorite dessert in many

homes is Pumpkin Pie.

Looks like these bears love it too.

Pilgrim Bears is such

a versatile file.

I made a layout. How about: 

• putting the bears on a card to welcome people to join your Thanksgiving feast, 
• using them on place cards 
• decorations for your door
• put them in a fall floral arrangement

How many more can you think of?

Pumpkin Patch Ghosts

Couldn't resist making this cute file.

Pumpkin Patch Ghosts

The expressions used in

Cuddly Cute Designs files

are so hard to resist.

These would be so cute as

large lawn or garden decorations

at Halloween time. 

Scare Bears Bat & Spider

I was so excited to see the new

Halloween files that

Cuddly Cute Designs made that

I had to hurry and make them.

Scare Bears Bat & Spider

There are so many things that you can make with just

one file. I made 5 different kinds of

things with just this one file.

I am sure there are many more you

can come up with. 

Candy bar wrappers

Layouts

Card

Paperclip

3-inch squares do decorate many things or

add with other squares with different pictures for

a game of memory of hunt and seek.

 

How many more things can you come up with?
