Ready for some inspiration? Let's take a look at what the Design Team created using SVG diecuts.

Carmen created this gorgeous shaker card using several files from the Baby Set. She says: "I got to play with Cindy’s Baby set this week. I haven’t made a baby project/card in forever so as soon as I saw the rattle it had to be a shaker card. I think this card would be perfect for an invite to a baby shower. The gate fold card with the diaper pin was inspired by Pinterest and it was just too cute not to make my own version of." See more at Carmen's blog: Carmen's Creations

Carolyn created this darling card using files from the Baby Circus Animals set. She says: "I used Baby Circus Animals for a birthday card for a little one that loves circus animals. Check out my blog for the details on how I made this card, which I call a Pop-Out Card (almost a pop-up card!)" Carolyn's blog: Granny Ma's Creative Blog

Cindy created a BABY banner using files from the Baby Set. She says: "I wanted to make something I could use for an upcoming shower, so I created this banner. For more info, including "who" the shower is for, please visit my blog". Cindy's blog: The Creative Pointe

Tina created this sweet pea card using the Baby Buggy file. She says: "A sweet card for a sweet baby, I used The Creative Pointe’s Baby Buggy file to make this cute 6 X 6 card. A few extra details to really make the cut super sweet. Love using The Creative Pointe’s cuts with my Cameo they cut so nice and clean and everything is there for you to put together a really cute die-cut." For more details about the card you can stop by Tina's blog: Tina's Scrap Corner

Shelissa created an awesome diaper favor accented with the heading and stork cuts from the Special Delivery Stork file. She says: "For this challenge I designed this diaper favor using the Pazzles Inspiration Studio Pro Software and embossed it using the Damask embossing folder." For more details, please visit Shelissa's blog: Shelissa"s Craft Studio

Ruth used a file from the Baby Set on her scrapbook layout. She says: "I don't know about you, but I think I know more people born in February than any other month of the year! What better time to have a challenge to celebrate those births and the little ones as they grow than "Baby"! For my project, I got the idea to create time markers with the baby bottle from the Baby Set from The Creative Pointe. In this picture I used the 1 for 1 week, but you could also use it for 1 day, hour, month, etc! I sure hope you'll celebrate babies, whether born this month or any other month and join us in The Creative Cutting Challenge!" See more on Ruth's blog: Paper and Musings

Challenge #27: Love

LOVE

If we receive at least 15 entries, the prize for this challenge will be a $5 Gift Certificate for SVG files from the Creative Pointe's ON LINE STORE.

You'll find over 150 SVG files/sets available for all your paper crafting projects.

If we have less than 15 entries, the winner will receive this SVG set: FANCY HEARTS. Winner will be randomly chosen from all submissions.

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

Any entry (that features an electronic cutting file) geared towards "LOVE" will be accepted: Valentines, Weddings, Engagements, etc. Ready for some inspiration? Let's take a look at what the Design Team created using SVG diecuts.

First up is a beautiful red and white card from Octavia. She used the Valentine Set and the Valentine Hearts set for this card. She says: "For the background I layerd two pieces of vellum--one pattern (striped) and one plain-- which I embossed with the circle heart stamp. I then used the heart border from the Valentine Hearts set for the top and bottom borders. I used the word "LOVE" from the Valentine set. For the inside I combined the two sets again, using the heart and the cupids. I had fun making this card because it took me out of my comfort zone. Layering the vellum was a challenge. I decided to use wet glue so that it would buckle some. In order to hide the adhesive, I put it behind all the elements on the front of the card."

Check out this awesome gate-fold easel card that Carolyn created using the cake from the Wedding Set . The silhouette wedding couple file is from GMC - Wedding Couple_01 by Carolyn Smith. More details on Carolyn's blog: Granny Ma's Creative Blog

Ruth used the Tea Cup Card to create her lovely project. She says: "There are a lot of traditional symbols we think of when we think of love. A cup of tea might not be high on your list, but for the women in my family it is. I was so happy that Cindy had created this file. It really is perfect for me! Stop on by my blog to find out how and I sure hope you'll share your project for love and join in The Creative Cutting Challenge!" Ruth's blog: Paper and Musings

Heather created this gorgeous vintage style tag using files from the Valentine Set. Check out all the details at her blog: My Artistic Adventures

Shelissa combined files to create this stunning black and white dress card. She says: "Who doesn’t want to be in love, fall in love or be the 'Bride 2B'? For this challenge I used the dress card WPC cut file from the Pazzles Inspiration Craft Room and combined it with the Bride 2B SVG cut file which can be purchased on the creative pointe website." See more over at Shelissa's blog: Shelissa"s Craft Studio

Cindy used the cupid from theValentine Set to make the accent on this wooden block set. She says " I combined wood, paint and paper to make this home dec project." For details on how to make your own, visit her blog: The Creative Pointe

Tina created a two page Smashbook entry detailing her 20th wedding Anniversary and the identical gifts she and her hubby gave each other..dinner at a new Chinese buffet restaurant! The Chinese Take Out file was just the thing to use on these pages. She says: " I used the fortune cookies for displaying the date and the fortunes that I was able to stow in my pocket for this layout. The new place even gave the women a rose when they walked in..a very nice touch". To see more of Tina's work, head over to her blog: Tina's Scrap Corner

Carmen created this very cool mixed media piece using the zebra heart from the Valentine Hearts set. She says: "I decided on a mixed medium sign for this Challenge. I used Creative Pointe’s Valentine Hearts – Zebra heart. Just love the combination of hot pink and black. The base has tissue paper and gesso then sprinkled with black, pink and iridescent glitter."
