Heather created a gorgeous vintage style Easter card using the Rolled Roses and Fancy Flourishes-One files.  Check out her blog for all the details:  My Artistic Adventures

Carolyn created a scrapbook layout using the Race Car with Numbers because she said spring brings in NASCAR and other auto racing.  She also says:  "And the Race Is On title is from the SilhouetteAmerica online store; the race track I created from a image located on the Internet; and the borders and flags from a SVG file (from where I can't remember right now).  I also created the border for the photo mat and placed the flag in the one corner.  I used Numbers 1 as the lead car, and 2 & 4 for my great-grandchildren's ages."  For more, check out Carolyn's blog:  Granny Ma's Creative Blog

Carmen created a lovely slider card that features the butterfly from the  Garden Friends 1 set.  See more at her blog:  Carmen's Creations

Ruth used the sign from the Flower Set One to create this gorgeous spring layout.  She says:  "This is my favorite time of the year! When the world comes alive with bulbs sending flowers up through the long frozen ground! Come celebrate spring with the Creative Cutting Challenge! However you like to celebrate spring, we'd love to see your creations! My layout celebrates those first spring bulbs blooming in my yard finally after our long, harsh winter. Cindy's Flower Set 1 flower sign really was a sign for spring! Spend a little time creating and get out and enjoy the Spring!"  More at Ruth's blog:  Paper and Musings

 Cindy created a gift bag perfect for all the Showers that happen during spring using the Watering Can, Leaves & Branch and Flower Set One files.  She says:  "Last spring I was planning a wedding shower for my sister.  This May it's a baby shower!  This gift bag would be perfect for either a bridal shower or a shower gift just for the Mom-To-Be...especially because all the gifts are usually  for baby!  If you'd like the 'Shower Heading' file, click over to my blog to grab it free!"  See more at Cindy's blog:  The Creative Pointe

Tina changed up a file to create this lovely layout.  She says:  "It’s Spring layout was created with The Creative Pointe’s Mom Flowers cut file, I eliminated the letters that spelled 'Mom' and cut out letters to spell out 'Spring' on the flowers. Spring is our favorite time of the year. I went with a grid style layout and the cut file is a real fun file to use this time of the year."  See more at Tina's blog:  Tina's Scrap Corner

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

Winner will be randomly chosen from all submissions.

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!
