When my second elf mentioned needing a bag to carry letters from Santa and other treasures, I couldn’t resist the challenge! Using SVGs from Printable Cuttable Creatables, I created a whimsical and functional elf-sized bag.
Here’s how it came together:
Main Image: Cute Girl Elf Face SVG Cutting File
Bow: Pretty Little Darling Coquette SVG File
Heart Stamp: Valentine’s Day Love Letters FREE SVG Cut File
Naughty/Nice Checklist: Naughty Nice I Tried Free SVG File
“Santa” Text: Santa Cam Free SVG Cutting Files
To make it look like a real postage bag, I added a stamp, dashed lines, and the phrase Special Delivery in the Cricut app. The result? A charming and practical bag for my elf. Now, my elf is ready to carry holiday cheer wherever she goes!
If you’re crafting for your elves, I highly recommend exploring SVGs for unique and customizable designs. Happy crafting!

If you want to add a personal touch to your glassware, your cutting machine can be your best friend! From festive candle holders to unique etched bottles, the possibilities are endless. Today, I’m sharing three fun and creative ways to decorate glass using my cutting machine (Cricut), featuring some fabulous SVG files from our shop and tips to inspire your next project.SVG files used: Too Cute to Spook SVG File, Cute Ghost Pumpkin Grid SVG Free and Spooky Potion Bottles SVG Files
1. Layered Vinyl Sticker for a Candle
Project Idea: Decorate a candle using a layered vinyl sticker (I used the Too Cute to Spook SVG file, minus the sentiment).
Choose Your Vinyl: For this project, I used regular adhesive vinyl for its ease of application, but imagine the fun with temperature color-changing vinyl! When the candle is lit, the color shift will create a mesmerizing effect, perfect for Halloween or cozy nights.
Design Your Sticker: Upload the SVG to your Cricut Design Space and size it to fit your candle. You can layer multiple colors to create depth and dimension.
Cut and Apply: Cut your vinyl, weed out the excess, and use transfer tape to apply it to your candle. Smooth it out, and voila! You have a festive centerpiece.
Inspiration:
Consider using holographic or metallic vinyl for an eye-catching design that shimmers when the candle is lit. Try layering different textures and finishes to elevate your project for added flair!
2. Repeating a Pattern for a Pretty Bottle
Project Idea: Create a beautiful, patterned bottle using the Cute Ghost Pumpkin Grid SVG (available for free!).
Step 2
Select Your Glass: This project works wonderfully with a clear glass bottle or jar. It can be a simple vase or a storage container.
Create the Pattern: Upload the SVG to Cricut Design Space and adjust your bottle size. You can duplicate the pattern to create a seamless design that wraps around the entire piece.
Cut and Apply: Use your Cricut to cut the design from adhesive vinyl. Once cut, weed out the excess and carefully apply it to your bottle, ensuring it adheres well to any curves.
Inspiration:
Play with different colors for the pumpkins and ghosts to match your home decor or the season. You could even use frosted vinyl for a soft, elegant look that adds a touch of sophistication to your design!
3. Etching Glass for a Stunning Effect
Project Idea: Create an etched design on glass using the skull from the Spooky Potion Bottles SVG files
Steps:
Prepare Your Glass: Start with a clean glass surface. This could be a jar, a bottle, or a picture frame. Be sure it’s not heat-resistant glass (the etching paste doesn’t work on that material)!
Design the Etching: It’s important to use a design with only one layer for this project. I removed the other shapes and sized them for the glass piece.
Cut and Transfer: Cut your design using stencil vinyl. Apply the stencil to your glass, ensuring it adheres well to prevent etching cream from seeping underneath.
Etch the Glass: Apply etching cream following the product instructions. Rinse off the cream and remove the stencil to reveal your stunning design.
Inspiration:
Consider creating a collection of etched glassware featuring different designs for a truly spooky vibe. Use a variety of shapes and sizes to create a cohesive set for your Halloween party!
With these three techniques, ordinary glass can be transformed into extraordinary art pieces. Whether crafting for a seasonal celebration or just sprucing up your home decor, a cutting machine opens up a world of creativity. Don’t forget to experiment with various materials and finishes to find the perfect look for your projects!
Happy crafting, and may your glassware shine as brightly as your creativity! 🎃✨

Hello friends! This is Linh or LV Handcrafted across the socials. This custom button pin is such a fabulous way to celebrate individuality! I combined a FREE SVG file – Stay Weird SVG and tweaked it a little bit with the Alien SVG to create a custom button pin. These pins make great gifts, party favors, etc. They are super easy and fast to create. If you want to see me make this, please pop on over to the Printable Cuttable Creatables YouTube channel to watch my tutorial!

Hello friends! This is Linh or LV Handcrafted across the socials. I’m on the Printable Cuttable Creatables YT channel to show you a hack for creating these Halloween Treat Bags. I’ll show you how to cut the bag in ONE pass from one piece of cardstock. If you’re looking to level up your treat bag, I’ll show you how to create a see-through front of the bag that still looks awesome when it’s empty.

Hi there, it’s Dorlene and I have a fun project to share today using the Happy Pencil cut file. The thing I love about Printable Cuttable Creatables’ cut files is there are multiple versions of the image in one file. What I mean by that is there’s one for using with paper and one that … Read more
Hello, it’s Ellen here again, with something fun in store. Flock HTV gives your designs a luxurious velvet/fuzzy look and feel. Would you like to try Flock HTV with me for the first time today?
Let’s try it out, with the pretty ‘Feelin Groovy Retro’ SVG Cut File.
Flocked heat transfer vinyl is SO easy to use!
Place the flocked HTV with the shiny/vibrant side down, touching the sticky side of the mat. The dull side should be facing up. You can use a strong grip mat or washi tape to ensure the flock HTV sticks to the mat.
Be sure you mirrored the design while cutting out the pretty PCC design.
Choose the Glitter settings to make Cricut perfectly cut through the flocked HTV.
Check out the HTV brand instructions for bringing the flock onto your surface (in this case, a pocket with a drawstring).
It was much easier than I thought. I can hardly wait to try it on some t-shirts.
I challenge you to give it a try. Have fun!

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!

Hello friends! This is Linh or LV Handcrafted across the socials. Keychains are so fun to make! The blanks I have are clear 2” acrylic keychains with all the hardware included to complete the project. You could optionally even add a tassel to it as well. The vinyl is very easy to apply. Watch my tutorial video on the PCC YT channel to see how I created the ocean waves to be taller than the original border SVGs that come included. It’s a fun and easy technique that can help you get more use out of your SVGs.
