Tic Tac Box fun

Cuddly Cute Designs has started

making 3D files and they are so awesome!

These are so cute.

These two files are 

Tic Tac Boxes - Set 1 and

Tic Tac Boxes - Set 2.

Each one holds a Tic Tac Box perfectly.

SMOOCHIES

I am so excited to share this project with you.

For this project, I used the file Smoochies.

This is a shape book that can be used to

share pictures with loved ones.

I am going to attempt to explain how to make

this book. I have 19 photos to share showing different

steps in making this book.

To begin with, you will be working with the PNGs in the file.

You could use them instead of paper piecing them but I am going to

show you how to do the paper piecing ones.

You may want to enlarge the photos by clicking on them to see some

of the sizes I used.

I made my book 5 inches tall by 11.5 inches long.

You will need to load all the SVGs and PNGs into Design Space.

• Put some rectangles on the canvas. They should be 5 inches tall.
• 
• Size each triangle's width to the length you desired them without changing their height. I make them so that they are graduated and the pieces behind them can be seen.
• Size the PNGs to your desired size. They should be 5 inches tall. 

 

• You can make them longer or shorter by adjusting their sizes as you would any other shape you add to the canvas. Keep in mind that with the rectangle and PNG, the total size cannot be more than 11.5 inches to fit horizontally in Design Space so that a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock can be used.
•  Duplicate the PNGs 
• Set one set aside.
• Take each of the PNGs that you did not set aside and change them to a cut with no fill. This will change them so the PNGs are not the printed version of them.
•  
• Duplicate each of those changed PNGs. Set one set aside.
• Align the duplicated PNGs (without fill)with the bottom of the rectangle once they have been sized.  
• 
• Weld together once triangle and one plain PNG. You do not need to weld the title "Smoochies" to its rectangle.
•  
• Set those pieces aside.
• Get the duplicated PNGs that you first set aside. You will now need to size you cut files with those as best as you can. No need to ungroup the files. Just align one of the cut pieces on top of the PNG and size to the same size. I used the heart and lips. DO NOT ungroup before sizing. If they are grouped, The pieces will all adjust to the right sizes needed for each of them.
•   
• Save all your hard work.
• Make the PNGs invisible unless you want to print them to use on a different project.
• Cut all the pieces even the pieces set aside. They will be used as bases so that you can glue the pieces so they will line up with the welded pieces.
• 
• If you do not use the bases you might end up with something like pictured below.
•  
• Make sure you keep the bases and PNGs you sized with the same as the PNGs without fill or they will not line up right. If they don't line up right (as pictured below), you can do a bit of trimming.
• 
• 
• Whew! We did it (I hope I explained it so you could understand it.)
• Once you are finished, line up your pages and fasten them together with the way you would like. I usually punch holes in them and use ribbon to tie them together.

Calendar Bears - February

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.

I Chews You

Another holiday is soon coming.

The day for sweethearts, friends, and family.

Cuddly Cute Designs is filling their site

Pawsitive New Year

Are you having a Pawsitive New Year?

It is only the 13th of January and time is

going by fast. So many things are happening in

the world.

I made some cute pieces using the file

Pawsitive New Year. They are so cute and

definitely look like they are having a

Pawsitive New Year.

Looking forward to using these cuties in

a layout in the future. 

It's Christmas Time Bears

Brrrrr! It sure is cold outside.

I kept warm while I crafted making this cute layout.

I used the file, It's Christmas Time 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.

Christmas Mischief

Christmas break was toooo short. 

Did you create a lot of memories?

Don't forget to preserve those memories.

For this layout, I used the file

Christmas Mischief.

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 Digi Cute Designs. They are awesome files with
much higher resolution than the pngs in the cut files.
