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

Carolyn got down to work and came up with this amazing card in a box.  She says:  "Card in a Box has been the craze on Facebook for the past couple weeks; and I thought, hmmm I shall give this a try.  I basically used the box cutfile template and added the Easter files from The Creative Pointe (Easter Egg Set and Easter Bunny Set) for decorating."  Be sure to head over to Carolyn's blog.  She has a link to a video tutorial, a template with instructions AND a FREE cut file in SVG and Studio.  You'll have everything you need to make your own Card in a Box!  Get it all here:  Granny Ma's Creative Blog

Heather created this lovely piece of art using a file you might think is only for Christmas-- Angels.  She says that it was "an experiment" but isn't that what most art is?  See more at Heather's blog:  My Artistic Adventures

Ruth once again worked her scrapbook magic and came up with this "Eggs-ellent" layout!  She says:  "Although it's not for a few weeks it's time to start thinking about Easter! I created my very first Easter layout using a file from The Creative Pointe's Easter Headings. I thought it'd be fun to dye my papers, just like the eggs. Feel free to stop by my blog to hear all about my page and I sure hope you'll play along with the Easter Creative Cutting Challenge!"  Ruth's blog:  Paper and Musings

Octavia created this heavenly card using the Easter Headings set.   She says:  "I cut the top layer in yellow and the base in pink. I made the base by copying the bottom layer and welding it to make the card. Since the top reminded me of a window, I inked up some white paper to form a cloud scene. Stamped 'Happy Easter' on the inside to finish."  See more at Octavia's blog:  T's Corner For Scrappin'

Carmen created a lovely "Welcome" sign for her daughters new apartment.  She says:  "I used The Creative Pointe’s Easter Egg Heading.  Using my Sure Cuts A lot program I took off 'Easter' and added 'Welcome'. I cut multiple lower layers so that I could have the fun different colors.  I also added clear micro glitter to the top once it was all glued together which gave it a fun shine."  To see more, please head over to: Carmen's Creations

Cindy got out the Distress markers and Stickles and jazzed up this card, created using the new Easter Bunny Card file.  She says:  "I had fun decorating the Easter eggs...the only ones I'll be doing this season!"  To see more details on the card, click over to The Creative Pointe

Tina created a wonderful scrapbook layout.  She says:  "I did another 2-page layout for Easter. I used The Creative Pointe’s cutting file: Easter Headings. I used the script with shadow file this year with the annual egg hunt that we put on at our place for the G-kids. This was cut with my Cameo and made a nice title for the layout. Never have any trouble cutting The Creative Pointe’s files. This set of files comes with 5 different headings and cam easily be measured down and cuts fine.  If you're looking for an overall Easter file this is a good one."  For more details and some closer shots of the layout, please visit Tina's blog:  Tina's Scrap Corner

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

Carolyn was thinking of sunnier days when she created this spring-themed layout using files from Flower Set One.  She says:  "I created a layout of my granddaughters planting flowers just outside the garage door when they were visiting here in 2012, and less than 30 days they will be helping me to plant flowers in the same area."  Get all the details on this darling page at Carolyn's blog:  Granny Ma's Creative Blog

Carmen took the Race Car with Numbers file and made it her own, turning it into two Super hero cards!  She says:  "Last week was my twin 4 year old nephews' birthday. This year’s theme was super heroes. So I made them superhero car cards. It was easy peasy with Sure Cuts Alot.  I used The Creative Pointe’s Race Car with Numbers and mirrored and then merged the two images to make the card.  Then I brought in the super hero logos with the trace feature.  Of course I used part of a bat wing for Batman's car...it wouldn't be complete without it  :)"  Get all the details at Carmen's blog:  Carmen's Creations

Ruth also created a layout, a super sweet First Grade page using three files from the School Set Two.  She says:  "I love crafting with paper and when you combine that with a love for who I'm creating for, it just can't get any better than that, or so I thought! I had the best time playing with Cindy's School Set II files! The designs are perfect for the primary school years and with all the great layers adding wonderful details it was pure joy to create with these! I sure hope you'll be inspired to create a project for the Anything Goes challenge!"  See more over at Ruth's blog:  Paper and Musings

 

Cindy got out the vinyl and made these two tumblers using her newest files, Quilter and Tennis Players.  She says:  "I wanted personal favors for a recent Girls Weekend so I created these designs to match the attendees interests.  Cutting them from outdoor vinyl and applying to dollar store tumblers was super easy...and the recipients loved them!"  For more information, check out Cindy's blog:  The Creative Pointe

 

Pam cleverly turned the purse file from Girlz--Set Two into a gift card holding card!  So cute!  Get the details over at her blog:  Scrapple Tree

Octavia took a ceramic tile and turned it into an awesome tribute to Mom using the World's Best Mom file.  She says: "I stamped a border and used paper butterflies for embellishments.  I adhered it to the tile using matte Mod Podge and to give it a little shine, I covered the cut in glossy Mod Podge."  Hop over to Octavia's blog for a closer look:  T's Corner For Scrappin'

Heather created a lovely spring project using the Purse Card file.  Check out her blog to get all the details on this beauty:  My Artistic Adventures

Tina created this lovely layout using elements from the Quilter file.  She says:  "I did a 2-page layout for Anything Goes. I used one of The Creative Pointe’s new cutting files: Quilter. Anybody that quilts or sews will love this file for documenting those moments, or even for a Mother’s Day card. The quilt block would make a sweet background. My layout is about the making of a particular quilt that I was approached by this particular club to sponsor the embroider patches that the ladies would quilt together (shame I didn’t win the quilt :) The quilt block made for nice corner spots in the layout, the sewing machine added a splash of color and the word 'quilter' was trimmed down to 'quilt' and shadowed."  For more details and some closer shots of the layout, visit Tina's blog:  Tina's Scrap Corner

Carolyn created her shaped card using the shamrocks from the St Patricks Day Set.  She says:  I layered the cut out shamrocks on the front. I also used the leprechaun and shamrock border from the St Patricks Day Set.  Papers from Resale Clipart.  Sentiment from Teeny Tiny Words Set."  Check out Carolyn's blog:  Granny Ma's Creative Blog

Ruth put together this great card using one of the Shamrock Cards.  She says:  "When I think of St Patrick's day I think of green and shamrocks, good luck and gold, and little bit of leprechaun magic! You can see them all in my card for the St Patrick's Day challenge! Who knows, maybe the luck of the Irish will be with you! I sure hope you play along!"  Ruth's blog:  Paper and Musings

Welcome back to Pam, who created this cute cupcake wrapper and topper using files from the St. Patrick's Day Set.  For more info, check out Pam's blog:  Scrapple Tree

Tina tried something new and used the Lucky Girl Printable on her card. She says:  "I think this is the first time I used a printable on a card and it was fun to use too. I also used The Creative Pointe’s Flower Set 1, cutting the spiral flower down really really small and found that even the Cameo has limitations on what it can cut, but it worked out in the end.   I used some silver Stickles and some brads & rhinestones for the center of the flowers. You’ll have to stop by my blog to see the inside of the card."  Tina's blog:  Tina's Scrap Corner
