Windowed Pocket Tags

Following a request I received this week, tonight's freebies are windowed pocket tags.  Perfect for holding a journalling spot on a scrapbook page, as a cute frame for a small photo, the focus on the front of a card or just as an extra special tag on a gift for a loved one!  Why not use these pocket tags to hold special messages or ephemera such as tickets?

There are 5 designs in total - circle, square, heart, scalloped square and solid, just cut them on double sided cardstock, glue or tape down the tabs and you're all set!  I've included marks to show where to fold and I've also included reinforcement circles for that authentic stationery look.  All 5 are in 1 file, just cut the ones you need!

Please remember you are only allowed to download this file for your own use and can not share it or distribute it to others in any form. I spend a great deal of time creating my designs, please respect the terms under which they are shared.

Freebie #63!

Square Gift Box

Following yesterday's post of a set of notecards with matching gift box I've had a number of emails asking about the box, so I thought I'd offer it as todays freebie :)  This shallow gift box with snugly fitting lid comes in either SVG or DXF format, ready to cut on the Cricut, Craft Robo or other digital cutters.

I originally designed the box at 5 1/2 inches square, to fit the cards I'd made, but I've included a sizing chart below, which shows the width and height to cut the box and lid to make a range of box sizes.  Remember, this is a square box, so the two shapes you cut should be square in proportion.  For example, for a 3x3 box, the base should be 5.2 x 5.2 and the lid should be 4.77 x 4.77. 

Note:  Although I calculated these sizings I haven't tried cutting in all the sizes yet.  I already knew that the 5.5 box cuts perfectly, so I then went on to make a sample cut of the 3x3 size, which also worked just fine.  I figured that as the 3x3 was the smallest and most fiddly to assemble that would be the one that was most likely to go wrong, so I was relieved when it worked! :)

Box size	Base w/h	Lid w/h
3 x 3	5.2	4.77
3.5 x 3.5	6.04	5.54
4 x 4	6.9	6.3
4.5 x 4.5	7.76	7.06
5 x 5	8.62	7.85
5.5 x 5.5	9.5	8.625
6 x 6	10.34	9.38
6.5 x 6.5	11.22	10.14

Freebie #62!

Accordion Recipe/Photo Wallet

[These files are no longer available here.  Contact me on the link above for details on how to access expired files.]

In many ways this is a cut down version of the concertina organiser I've given away in the past, but this time the entire folder can be cut out of just 1 sheet of 12x12 cardstock!

Perfectly sized for 5x3 recipe cards or photos, I've included a separate file containing tabbed dividers so that if it's used for recipes you can separate them into appetizers, entrees, etc, plus a bookplate so that you can put a label of your choice on the front flap.

I've even included a PDF file with recipe cards you can print and cut out!  The base can be left flat, but I have also included fold guides so that the bottom can be accordion folded too - the choice is yours!

Please remember you are only allowed to download this file for your own use and can not share it or distribute it to others in any form. I spend a great deal of time creating my designs, please respect the terms under which they are shared.

Fancy-edged Book

[This file is no longer available here - contact me for info on how to get older files]

Believe it or not, if you cut with a page height of 3.5 inches (perfect size for a brag book), all 7 pages will fit onto 1 sheet of 12x12 cardstock! If you use double-sided cardstock you can cut the whole thing from one 12x12 sheet and just turn each alternate page over for a quick, stylish base for making a stunning keepsake gift!

A Concertina Card Organiser

I decided today to be super-organised and get myself in gear to try, for the first year, to send handmade cards at Christmas! I have never done it before, always copping out and buying them, but this year it will be different! :) Plus, making this organiser has helped with my new resolution to use more patterned paper! :)
Those of you who have followed my blog for a while might remember that I designed this file a year or two ago and all the pieces are cut on the Cricut using the SCAL program. As I have bought a huge box of 5" cards with envelopes, that is the size I will be making, so this box is 5 1/2" wide and 6" or so tall. I reckon I should be able to fit about 30 or so cards with envelopes in it.
Now all I have to do is be self-disciplined enough to actually make the cards! LOL Oh, the ingredients... Top paper is from My Minds Eye Christmas Glittered stack, bottom is from a Costco tote full of double sided cardstock. The picture is from Tim Holtz's Seasonal card stack and the ticket is one of his stamps.

Each time I've made one of these I've used a different method of fastening them shut. This time I've used adhesive magnets. They work well, but are so strong that they were coming off the closure rather than unstick from each other, so I beefed up the adhesive on them with a strip from my ATG gun, and now they work fine! :)

Freebie #60!

Diorama Card

[As always, these files were only available for 1 week from this blog and have now been removed. Contact me for details of how to access older files]

After posting the diorama card I showed here, I have received several emails asking for copies of the file, so I thought I would give it away as a freebie tonight. Below is a diagram showing how the card goes together. The support strips are used to attach elements at different levels within the card. The great thing about this card is that it also will squash flat for putting in an envelope! Remember to decorate the front and back before you assemble the card.

The file contains elements for the front, back, sides and support strips, which all fit onto a 12x12 sheet of card, to produce a 5x5 card. If you want a larger card, just cut out a larger front, back and strips, and cut the sides on your paper trimmer (they should be 4" x the height of your card).

Gothic Arch Cards

[As always, my files are only free here for 1 week, so this set is no longer available from my blog. Contact me for details of how to access expired file sets.]

It's been a while since my last one, so it's great to be able to offer you another free cutting file this week! This set came about when someone emailed me asking if I had a file for a gothic arch greetings card. I didn't, so I set about creating one!

The photo is rubbish, I know, but it shows that they cut just fine and hopefully you get the general idea of what's included in the file! There are 4 designs of card in the file along with additional panels you can use for extra layers on the front if you wish. All designs are in one file, so after you've unzipped it and imported it into your software you can choose which you want to cut and hide or delete the others to use another time.

Bartlett Pears

The theme over on the Simon Says Stamps and Show Challenge blog this week is "my newest stamp". My newest stamp is the polka dot cling stamp by Hero Arts that I've used to add textural interest to the edge of each pear.

I started out by cutting 2 inch wide strips of corrugated card and using them to edge a 12x12 piece of chipboard. I painted them white, and while the paint was still wet I used a moist wipe to remove paint from the corrugations to make them stand out more. I dried the paint with a heat gun and then applied some Walnut stain distress ink to the edges. Inside the frame is an 8x8 piece of Tim Holtz card stock from his "Lost and Found" pad, with a 4x8 piece of white cardstock on top.

The letters and pears were cut on the Cricut from white cardstock using SCAL, and then inked and coloured with distress ink pads. That's about it :) This is going on the wall above my dining table, still lots of empty walls to fill though, so I'll be making home decor items for some time to come! lol

Our ever-generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a $25 gift voucher as the prize again this week! The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge, so why not give it a try?

Christmas Village House
[ETA - This file is no longer available here]

Another Friday, another freebie!

So many of you liked this house when I posted it the other day that it was pretty clear what my freebie should be this week! :)

The house in the photos was sized so that I could fit 2 on 1 sheet of A4 or letter card.

Rosette and centre

[These files are no longer available here]

Just when you'd thought there weren't going to be any more freebies! :)

There are so many of these rosettes floating around the internet at the moment, largely due to that fact that they were recently re-popularised by Tim Holtz when he released one as part of his range of Sizzix dies. A few days ago, a friend on one of the forums I belong to asked me if I would design a rosette for her that she could use in SCAL. Once it was finished, it only made sense to share it here too :)

I've included files for the rosette itself and for the zig-zag edged centre circle. I added them separately so that you could easily change the size of one to suit your needs without having to resize the other if you didn't want to :) I've also included folding notches to make the folding easier, but if you don't want these just cut the shape in blackout mode. Remember to cut an extra circle to glue on the underside of your rosette so that it keeps it's shape!

Cupcake Wrapper and Flag

There are so many of these floating around the internet and I'm sure that many of you already have some, but I received a request this week for a cupcake wrapper so I thought I'd do my own, and throw in a cupcake flag for good measure!

These pretty scalloped cupcake wrappers with their cute little flags will brighten any party table! I cut these samples out of some of the free designs that can be downloaded from Shabby Princess, but obviously you can use whatever paper or cardstock fits best with the theme of your table!

Milk Carton Gift Box
Another week, another gift box. I think I'm hooked on making them, I get a kick out of being able to cut something that I would have had to go out and buy! :)

Finished off with a cute scalloped top, there are all kinds of ways you can use these boxes! Most of the folds are obvious, so I haven't marked the score points, but I have added them where they were needed - remember to add a fold joining the the bottom two points of the upside down "Y" fold.

Birdcage
[Edit - I've started to make my files available from my blog again and am adding a new set each week. Check out the "Cutting Files" tab at the top of the page to see which ones are available for download.]

Edit to add - I just wanted to share this great page for a bind-it-all book, made by Anne (check out her blog here). Isn't it great? I love seeing how people use my files! :)

Birdcages seem to be everywhere right now - be it on rubber stamps, die cuts or patterned papers. I see no reason why my blog should miss out, so here I am, bang on-trend, with this weeks free file download! This file, ready to cut on digital cutting machines like the Cricut, Gazelle, Craft Robo etc, will be available for 1 week only, so grab it before it's gone!

Candy/Gift Bag

[ EDIT - I've started to make my files available from my blog again and am adding a new set each week. Check out the "Cutting Files" tab at the top of the page to see which ones are available for download.]

Aren't these fun? Modelled on the traditional brown paper grocery bag, they're perfect for small gifts, party favours, candy or cookies! Fill with the goodies of your choice, fold over the top and staple closed or punch a couple of holes and tie with some pretty ribbon!

The places to make the major folds are obvious, but I've included score guides on the side panels for the inverted Y folds. In my initial design I included ready cut holes for ribbon, but I found that when I resized the bag larger or smaller the holes became either too big or too small so I left them out - it's no trouble to make your own holes with a punch or cropodile, then they're always the right size :)

Please remember you are only allowed to download this file for your own use and may not distribute it to others in any form. I spend a great deal of time creating my designs, please respect the terms under which they are given.

Again, this template will be "live" for 1 week. Next week it will be taken down, and new ones will replace it. Don't forget, if you have any requests, pass them on! I can't promise, but I will take suggestions into account when planning future templates.

These files may not be uploaded to a group, forum or website for sale or redistribution, or shared among individuals. They are expressly for the personal use of each person that downloads them from this blog.

There is 1 file but I have put it into a zip file to make downloading easier. After saving it, open in the usual way, and drag the file out onto your desktop or wherever you wish to save it.

There are 2 versions of each template:

• An SVG version which can be imported into the Sure Cuts a Lot or Make the Cut program and then cut out on your Cricut.
• A DXF version which is Craft Robo friendly, and ready to be imported into your Robomaster software (I'm not a Robo user, so if there are any problems with this, please let me know!)

CD Gift box[Edit - This set is no longer available from my blog, and now comes with a DVD gift box too! Find it on my other site by googling "My Crafty Files" or email me for details.]

Useful at any time of year, and always good to know you have it in reserve when needed! :) (Much cheaper than buying one too!) Although I've shown the CD peeking out of the end here, obviously both ends do close :)

I cut mine at 7.38" wide x 11.09" high and it was a perfect but snug fit for the standard cd case I was using as a guide. If you want it a little roomier, obviously you can cut it slightly larger! Since it will cut from an 8" x 12" piece of cardstock, you've got plenty left to make a matching tag or gift card! :) I've included fold marks for the major folds - if you don't want those, just cut the box in blackout mode.

Freebie #49 - Ornate Bookplate!

[Edit - I've started to make my files available from my blog again and am adding a new set each week. Check out the "Cutting Files" tab at the top of the page to see which ones are available for download.]
There are 3 layers to this ornate bookplate, but of course you could separate them into 3 single layer bookplates, the choice is yours! :) Use them on mini-book covers or as a decorative surround on a birthday card message - the only limit is your imagination! :)

Freebie #48 - Plaques and Shields

[Edit - I've started to make my files available from my blog again and am adding a new set each week. Check out the "Cutting Files" tab at the top of the page to see which ones are available for download.]

Looking back through the freebies I've given away here in the past, I've come to the conclusion that most of the files I design are intended to be the base of a project rather than the decoration for a project. This probably reflects the way in which I mainly use my Cricut - I've got lots of stamps and brads and ribbon and embellishments, what I need is something nice to put them on! :) This weeks collection is no exception to that rule!

Hopefully you'll find all kinds of uses for these plaques and shields. Pictured right is one that I cut out and decorated earlier in the week (yes, I know that shape isn't in this collection, but you get the general idea! lol) Use them as fun pages in a mini-book or as mattes for photos on a scrapbook page. Why not use them as tags, a nice change from the usual shapes we usually see!
