DIY Space Party Idea

September 8, 2024 by PCC VA

Hello everyone, I, Ellen, bring you another lot of fun inspiration for a space birthday party.

I used a lot of fun new SVG files, such as the Spaceship Rocket, Sun, Earth, and Moon, Planets, Alien, Comet, and the free Stay Weird Alien SVG.

All the items I’m showing today are made with vinyl (you stick the artwork layer by layer on the objects). Of course, you can also make stickers from the illustrations and use them to decorate everything. If it is a big party, this last method can save a lot of work!

But of course, it’s not a party without a cake topper!

I decorated a badge instead of a crown. The button actually had a smiley, but of course, I could hide the smiley with the globe.

Here, you can see everything together again. I love the end results—they look like magic.
How are you planning to add a little magic to your next birthday party?

DIY Snack and Drinks Craft Ideas

August 22, 2024 by PCC VA

Hi, crafty friends. It’s Ellen here sharing today’s project with you.

I want to share two fun ‘back to school’ projects in this blog post, perfect for snacks and drinks. I use the three SVG files (Lookin’ Sharp Pencil, Unicorn Ate My Homework, and the Mermaid Unicorn Face Free SVG File).

In the picture, you see a drinking bag. These are super popular these days. I’m mixing the two unicorn SVGs on the bag here. I think it’s really funny and cute.

Keeping with the cute theme, how cute is this box? Don’t you get happy with this?

Hopefully, you thought this blog post was totally awesome. I’ll see you again soon with much more!

Meta: Ellen is on the blog today with some adorable DIY Snack and Drinks Craft ideas! She’s combining cute SVG files to create fun back-to-school projects, perfect for adding a special touch to your kids’ snacks and drinks.

First Day of School Chalkboard

August 18, 2024 by PCC VA

Good morning Printable Cuttable Creatable Fans! Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility. With school starting, I wanted to share my project of the First Day of School Chalk Board. Here is how mine came out:

I used cardboard and painted it with chalkboard paint and then used the file to cut cardstock out all my pieces.

This file is made to be used for Vinyl and I had all intentions of using vinyl but ended up not having enough of a couple colors and wouldn’t be here on time. That is why I decided to try the cardstock. I really love the way it came out!

Here is my grandson, Lachlan on his first day, Star sunglasses and all! He loved his sign and loved giving me the answers to the questions!

I hope you will try this for your kids or grandkids!

Back to School Teacher Card

August 4, 2024August 4, 2024 by PCC VA

Hello friends! This is Linh or LV Handcrafted across the socials. Oh my, is it already back-to-school season? If you need to make some teacher cards, there are some fabulous new SVGs in the shop! I made this fun card with pattern paper from the Back to School Scrap Kit. It’s such a throwback to grade school when we learned our letters. Love the lettering so much! The fun emoji crayons are from the Happy Crayon SVG. Don’t be fooled by the listing photo though; you get the crayons in multiple different colors. For my sentiment, I just took portions of the Teach Love Inspire SVG (a FREEBIE!) and moved them around to fit my card. I love the flexibility you have when you craft with digitals!

HTV Pencil Case Idea

July 17, 2024July 11, 2024 by PCC VA

Hi friends, welcome to our blog. It’s Ellen here with a new post for you. Today, I’m showing you a pencil case or a beach bag, especially for summer.

I’m using the new: ‘Sea Coral’ and the ‘Cute Sea Turtle’ SVG File

The turtle fits perfectly in the green bag, in my opinion. From that moment, I had the idea of using a pun and looked it up on the Internet. I then finished the scene further with the sea plants.

Once I was happy with how all the artwork was positioned, I cut the artwork out on HTV with my Cricut machine. The last step was to apply everything with a Heat Transfer tool.
This bag is not just for pencils. It’s a versatile accessory for your summer adventures. Whether you’re heading to the beach with your pencils, sunscreen, and money or just out for a casual stroll, this bag is designed to meet your needs!

Get ready to have some fun and craft your stress away this summer! I hope this project not only inspires you to get creative but also helps you relax and enjoy the process of making your own personalized accessories.

Happy crafting,

-Ellen

Bitty Book Earrings Tutorial

September 14, 2024September 5, 2023 by PCC VA

Turn heads with these adorable bitty book earrings! Ciao amici, this is Morena and I’m back from my Italian vacation with a fun project for you to try! I love all things miniature, and I saw some cute tiny book earrings for sale during my travels. I decided to make my own, and here’s how I did it!

Book Earrings Supplies:

Chipboard
Cardstock
Silhouette Design Studio
Stacked Books with Apple SVG
Xyron Creative Station with Laminate + Adhesive
Tombow Liquid Glue
Earring Findings and Jump ring
Jewelry Pliers
Printer
Silhouette Cameo and Design Studio

Start out in your design studio by creating rectangles for the pages. Mine were 1 inch tall and 1.5 inches wide. Add a scoreline in the middle to make them easier to fold. Make the covers slightly bigger than the pages, and add two score lines and a circle for the earring finding (see image below). Once this is done you can import your graphics to add to the design.

Print and cut the pages and cover from cardstock. Cut just the cover piece from the chipboard.

Use the Laminate + Adhesive cartridge in a Creative Station to protect the book cover while adding adhesive to the back.

Trim the laminated cover and add it to the chipboard cover. Fold on the scored lines.

Poke through the hole to make it easier to add the jump ring and earring pieces.

Fold the book pages on the scored line. You will need four sheets to make 8 total pages in the book. Glue the page edges together and then glue them inside the book. Let the pages dry.

When you get bored you can doodle in the tiny pages of your earrings! Have fun crafting and creating unique jewelry with cute graphic designs from PCC!!

Coffee Gift Card Holder

September 14, 2024August 31, 2023 by PCC VA

Hello friends! This is Linh or LV Handcrafted across the socials. I love to give gift cards but I like to dress them up a little. I feel like that turns what might be an impersonal gift into a very special one. Today I’m using papers from the Autumn Harvest Scrap Kit and the amazing Coffee Cup Giftcard Holder SVG File to create a couple of fall-themed gift card holders.

These are fast, easy projects. I printed the pattern papers onto copy paper. Even though it’s thinner than cardstock, it still worked well for the pocket/sleeve. However, for the insert, I cut a 2nd insert from white cardstock. That gives the insert a little bit more weight to support the gift card.
Next time you need to give a gift card, why not dress it up with this fun Coffee Gift Card Holder?

Thanks for following along!

Layering HTV in Cricut Design Space

September 14, 2024July 30, 2023 by PCC VA

Hello friends! This is Linh or LV Handcrafted across the socials. Today I have a tutorial and some quick tips for how to set up your Cricut file to make layering heat transfer vinyl quicker and easier!

You can see my full video tutorial here –

Here are 10 quick & easy steps:

TIPS:

I fully locked down my heat press on one of the layers and that was a mistake. It left an impression where the edge of the vinyl transfer sheet was. I recommend just holding the press but not locking down at full pressure until the very end
When placing the next layer try to hover the design over your shirt and get it lined up before placing it. Once it touches down, the previous layer might be warm enough to “grab” the vinyl. That happened on a couple of the book pages.

DIY Sublimation Bookmarks

September 14, 2024June 13, 2023 by PCC VA

Hello, it’s Ellen here today with two DIY Sublimation Bookmarks made with the cutest SVGs from Printable Cuttable Creatables!

Here are the designs I used for this project:

In summer I like to go on vacation and read a book. Of course, I want to have my own bookmarks. I layered a few illustrations on top of each other and outlined them to make the text readable and the illustrations stand out in the background.

When I was happy with the results I printed the illustrations with a sublimation printer.

With a heat press, I transferred the illustrations on the bookmark (the bookmark needs to be coated especially for sublimation).

I hope you all enjoyed this cute project!

Thanks for stopping by and until next time…..Happy Crafting!!

Inspirational Classroom Decor

September 14, 2024March 2, 2023 by PCC VA

It’s Kris here and I am finally working on some inspirational classroom decor for my students. I had fun with this project and I hope that you do too!

I teach math and sometimes math can be hard and frustrating which can lead to negative attitudes in the classroom. I like the word passion. Teaching and crafting are 2 passions of mine. So I knew I wanted a quote on the wall with the word passion in there. So I browsed around looking for a good quote that really resonated with me and my teaching style.

I found this quote: “People with great passion can make the impossible happen” – Author Unknown. This quote really resonated with me. I’m passionate about teaching and I believe students learn best when their teacher is passionate about teaching.

I found the quote….now let’s head to the Printable Cuttable Creatables site and find some SVG files that we can use to create a fun poster for the classroom.

For this first poster, I used the files:

Lil Crayons & Pencils Banners Set SVG Cut File & Clipart – for the crayons at the top
School Supplies Free SVG Borders – for the open book

My original thought was to use foam poster board, but my local shop only had black and I didn’t want a black poster.

Not all was lost. My classroom is decorated with some gold and rose gold wire baskets, so when I found this white poster paper with a black and gold border, it was a perfect match for my classroom!

I then wanted a couple of words to pop from the rest, this is where I decided to use gold glitter cardstock along with a cool font called ‘Hello Honey’ – one of my favorites. The black text is in the font ‘Sitka Small’.

I love the way this poster turned out so much that I wanted to make another one. This time, I took inspiration from a poster pack that I had saved to my Amazon wish list a while back. For this poster I used the ruler from the Printable Cuttable Creatables file ‘School Supplies Free SVG Borders’ – it’s a free file and it’s amazing!! I made the ruler 16 inches long – which is longer than my cutting mat, so I needed to slice the image to be able to cut it on a 12×12 mat.

The last step I did was laminate the posters so that they could last a few years in my classroom!

I hope that this project brings you an inspiration to take your favorite quotes and use creative ways to display them around your home or classroom!

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Kris

STEP 1 Bring the SVG Separated file into Cricut Design Space. Scale the image to the size you’d like for your T-shirt. Ungroup all the individual layers.
STEP 2 Select the layers that are the same color. For example – The blue arch & the blue “Reading”. Click “Attach” This locks those layers in their position so they are cut the way you see it as opposed to positioning it to cut more efficiently. It uses up more vinyl, but this makes it easier to position later. Do this for all layers that are the same color.
STEP 3 Send your project to be cut. Make sure you select the correct materials and also mirror each cut layer.
STEP 4 Trim your vinyl down and weed out all the areas around the design.
STEP 5 Stack the individual layers to make sure you understand how it should look fully assembled.
STEP 6 Pre-heat your T-shirt by pressing it for 5-10 seconds
