Ready for some inspiration? Let's take a look at what the Design Team created using SVG diecuts. For detailed information and/or instructions, please click on their blog link.


Carolyn from GRANNY MA's CREATIVE BLOG created this great layouts for her granddaughter using the new BOWLING SET.  She says:  "Using the Bowling Set file from The Creative Pointe, I created a 2-page layout of my granddaughter bowling.  (On the top layout you will see her bowing to the her loved ones because she made a spare.....)  Bowling pins borders, Let's Roll! title and bowler in the left hand corner of page one, and right corner of page 2 are all from the Bowling Set.  The frame is my own creation, combining a bowling ball and pin to the frame and layered over a photo.  Going with the same borders on page 2, and the bowler in right corner from The Creative Pointe, I also matted the photo of happy granddaughter.  The title is a purchased file from another svg company (can't remember as I purchase a lot of files here and there) and placed bowling balls at the end of each top border of bowling pins."

Victoria from PAPER SQUIRREL is busy prepping for her upcoming wedding and created this cute banner.   She says, "I am so excited that our two-week theme is "Anything Goes" because I got to check another wedding decor "to do" off my list with this Mr [heart] Mrs banner!  There are several versions on Pinterest (the ultimate wedding idea website) and I think it will be the perfect addition to the head table.  And because I used SVG and font files, it was a super-quick project.  Visit my blog for the details."  Victoria used the Bracket Element that you can get HERE free!

Pam from MZLAVR2's CREATIONS created this sweet backpack using the LEAVES & BRANCH files. She says, "Paper by Prima, leaves and branches cut from scraps, pink flowers from Prima, pearl flower centers from Miriam’s crafting supplies. Also used organza ribbon from my stash. The back pack cutting file is by Girl Boy Girl Designs available at Digi Chick."


Shelissa from SHELISSA'S CRAFT STUDIO used the challenge to starting thinking of ideas for her son's graduation party this summer.  She's showing some of the things that will be used for the party that she created using GRADUATION SIGNS 2013 and says, "I created a 3.5 x 4 box and coordinated the blue cardstock from my stash that I picked up from Michaels.  I used the pen tool with my Pazzles Inspiration to draw out the wording and picture on the box and cupcake topper."

Cindy from THE CREATIVE POINTE created a scrapbook layout using three SVG files:  PINE TREES & PINE CONESNOWMOBILE SET, and SNOWFLAKE SET.  She says, "Snowmobiling is very popular in our family so I do a scrap page each year.  Even though it's hard to see in this photo, the trees and subtle titles really fit the designer paper.  Click over to my blog for all the details."


Octavia from T's CORNER FOR SCRAPPIN' created a dimensional piece.  She says: "the dress form was cut from an SVG 16 times, (out of vellum) and 2 times from cardstock -  layered and decorated with flowers, ribbon, and beads. The "head" is a stick pin I made with flowers and beads.

Tina from TINA'S SCRAP CORNER created a layout for her puppy and says:  "I created a scrapbook layout with the dog house and large dog lettering block from The Creative Pointe's DOG ELEMENTS SVG set for the die cuts on the layout.  The layout was created around our youngest dog when we got him-7 weeks old in these pictures. Check out my blog to see all the details and some up close pictures of parts of the page."

Challenge #11: Easter Cards



Continuing with an Easter theme, this eleventh challenge is to show us your SVG (or similar) file created Easter Card Project.  We are so happy you've joined us and can't wait to see what you've created. 
EASTER CARDS

Prize for this challenge is a $5 Gift Certificate for SVG files
from the Creative Pointe's ON LINE STORE.
You'll find over 100 SVG files/sets available for all your paper crafting projects.
Winner will be randomly chosen from all submissions.

One extra special entry will receive the"Creative Choice" button.


Ready for some inspiration? Let's take a look at what the Design Team created using SVG diecuts. For detailed information and/or instructions, please click on their blog link.


Carolyn from GRANNY MA's CREATIVE BLOG created two cute cards for her great granddaughter and great grandson this Easter season.  The card above is from the EASTER BUNNY SET by The Creative Pointe.  She says:  "I first created a card base with flowers down the side ... I took the flower pieces and copied and welded to the right side.  I laid the card base on the virtual mat in SCAL3 and typed the sentiment "Hoppy Easter" and placed it on the section and then using a pen instead of the blade, I printed the sentiment.  I colored in the sentiment with Sakura gel pens.  Cut the Easter bunny, grass (from my Silhouette Studio library) and eggs and placed on this card.  The centers of the flowers, were punched out using a regular hole hand punch and then colored with yellow Sakura gel pens.  Brads could have been used but they would be bulky for mailing purposes."
The second card Carolyn created is from A Cute Bunny .  She says:  "I got this image when I was on her Design Team and I really liked it.  This time the card base was created lengthwise with the fold at the top and I printed the same sentiment at the top.  Placed the Cute Bunny on the grass with a Easter basket full of eggs.  The eggs were printed on my Cameo using a black pen and then colored in with my Stampin Up markers.  I used clear gel pen on the eggs."

Victoria from PAPER SQUIRREL created this card using the bunny from the EASTER BUNNY SET.  She says:  "I created a patchwork card with a fun leaping bunny silhouette from The Creative Pointe's "Easter Bunny" SVG set as the focal point.  Check out my blog to see all the little details on this card and find out how I gave my bunny some personality."


Octavia from T's CORNER FOR SCRAPPIN' used the EASTER EGG SET plus flat back embellishments, ribbon, and embossing to create this shaped egg card.  Octavia says: "I tried to decorate my egg card with a little bit of all I could!"

Shelissa from SHELISSA'S CRAFT STUDIO used the EASTER BUNNY SET to cut out various sizes of bunnies using the Pazzles Inspiration die cutting machine.  Shelissa says:  "The paper and ribbon I picked up from Michael's Craft Store.  I used my printer to print out the Happy Easter sentiment."


Cindy from THE CREATIVE POINTE used the bunny head from the HOPPY EASTER BUNNY set.  She says:  "I put the diecut on a wobbly spring so that the bunny's head moves.  Pink and brown papers, a brown velvet ribbon and a stamped setiment complete the card.  For more details, please visit my blog".

Tina from TINA'S SCRAP CORNER made this card using the EASTER HEADINGS set. She says:  " I went with different variances of purple for the card. The "Happy" part of the sentiment was cut from a font out of the SCAL program.  I punched the edge with a MS swirly punch and added a rich razzleberry grosgrain ribbon from SU.  The card is finished off with lavender Liquid Pearls."

Pam from MZLAVR2's CREATIONS created this cute card using files from the HOPPY EASTER BUNNY SET.  So cute!
