01 Tips for Quick Cardmaking

Hello friends!  This is Linh or LV Handcrafted across the socials. If you need some quick cards, digitals are the way to go! PCC has so many digital pattern papers to fit every occasion and time of year!   Many of them come bundled with SVGs that have fun graphics/icons you can print and make your very own ephemera with!  I found the Cute Summer Fruit SVG and the Summer Citrus Dot Pattern Paper individually but they work perfectly together!!

To see how I made the card above, check out the video tutorial on the Printable Cuttable Creatables YT channel!  For more cards featuring the same digis, check out two more cards I made off camera!

Summer Candy Wrapper Idea

Fruit Themed Candy Wrapper 1

Step into summer with this vibrant and cool design of the  Candy Wrapper. 

Here’s what you’ll need. 

  • Photo Paper (preferably Glossy)
  • Printer
  • Your platter of choice
  • Digital Paper
  • Cute Summer Fruit SVG File
  • Candy of your choice (Mine’s a KitKat)
  • Glue gun
  • Zigzag Scissors

Summer Candy Wrapper Idea

First you need to measure the length and width for your candy and make a square or rectangle on your design app.
Then add the digital paper to the shape and adjust it accordingly. 
Add the fruit you prefer and measure it so it fits when you fold it.
Send it to print and then cut it with your plotter. 
After that, grab your candy and put it inside the paper (design outside). 
Glue it to seal it and then cut the ends of it. 
Glue the fruit in the front and you’re done!

You’ll end up with a beautiful looking candy wrapper that everyone will love. 

I hope you enjoy making these. See you on the next project.

Make a Sweet Wedding Card

01 Wedding Card

Good Morning PCC Fans!  Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility.

Today I wanted to walk you through making a wedding card with PCC cut files Wedding Groom Tuxedo and Wedding Dress.  I am trying to get stocked up on my cards and with Summer coming it always seems I need wedding cards.  How about you?

Here is how my wedding card came out:

01 Wedding Card

With Printable Cuttable Creatables files, it is so easy to make a quick card.

Make a Sweet Wedding Card

I Started with my base made out of Neenah Solar White from 12 X 12 Cardstock shop.  I cut this at 10 in X 7 In.  I then folded on the 10in side to make a 5 in card.   I used my bone folder to make sure it was good and folded.  Then I turned the fold on the inside.  This is to prevent peeling or cracking on the fold line.

In the meantime I cut my SVG pieces of the tuxedo and wedding dress.  Using no shred glitter cardstock for the top layer of the dress, I really liked how the dress came out.  

I then cut a light gray rectangle at 5.75 in. x 6.75 in. to tape down on top of my base. I added one more layer of turquoise cardstock to match the tuxedo and cut a piece at 5.50 in x 6.50 in and taped it on top of the gray cardstock.

Using the Wedding Sentiments Stamp Set by C.C. Designs, I stamped a sentiment on the front and wrapped gray and turquoise ribbon, from my stash, around the card. 

Make a Sweet Wedding Card

I stamped this other sentiment on the inside, again from C.C. Designs Wedding Sentiments stamp set,  and I called it done.

Once again, here is my finished card:

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial and will join me on my socials.

Blessings,

Christi

Retro Sticker Sheet

Retro Sticker Sheet Tutorial

Hello everyone! It’s Mónica from Moni’s Design here sharing the cutest Retro Sticker Sheet. 
You’ll see the “Flower Peace Sign SVG File”  and the freebie “Retro Rainbows Free SVG File” in this pack along with the “Disco Ball Retro SVG File”.

Retro Sticker Sheet Tutorial

Using my Silhouette Cameo, I prepared a 4” x 6” rectangle with the designs. Every sticker measures 1.5”. I added an “Offset” for better results when cutting. You’ll add them to your canvas, and add a title. Press M on your keyboard to add registration marks to the page, then send it to print. Then load the printed page onto your mat and send it to cut.

I have a setting prepared for Kiss Cut Stickers in Silhouette Studio.

Hippie Van Paper Piecing Tutorial

Hippie Van Paper Piecing Tutorial

Hello everyone! It’s Mónica from Moni’s Design here and today I’m making a 3D Hippie Van. Here I’m using the “Front Hippie Van Retro SVG File”.  In this Hippie Van Paper Piecing Tutorial, I’ll show you how this fun piece came together.

Hippie Van Party Decor Tutorial

What You’ll Need:

  • Cardstock (I used light pink, cream, holographic silver, yellow, white, and glitter pink) 
  • Acetate (I used Pearl Mylar)
  • Adhesive (I used Bearly Art)
  • Foam adhesive (To use between layers for the 3D effect)
  • Scissors (to cut the foam tape)

Using your Cricut or Silhouette, cut your SVG file. Now with all your pieces cut, let’s start. First, grab your base. We’re going to be gluing everything here.

Hippie Van Paper Piecing Tutorial

For every piece you want to be 3D, you’ll need to add Foam Tape. We’re going to start with the front first. I added foam tape and glued it to the base guiding my piece with the base form.

Next, we’ll be gluing the top piece (cream). Make sure you center the pieces.

Now let’s glue the glitter smiley face to the white circle using our adhesive and then add a foam tape piece and glue it to the top of the van.

60s Van Paper Piecing Tutorial

Here I’m adding a square foam tape to my daisy center and then another foam tape to the back of the daisy to add them as my headlights.

Now let’s add the bumper. I used foam tape, again lol.

Don’t forget about the plate, so let’s glue the acetate to the cream plate and add a foam tape piece to the back, and put it in the bumper.

Now last but not least, let’s add the wheels.

Now we’re all done!

I really hope you enjoyed making this as much as I did. You can make this in under 30 minutes and add it to your party decorations or to your craft room! 

See you in the next craft!

Easel Shaker Card

Easel Shaker Card

Hi, it’s Dorlene and I’m super excited to work on another project using Printable Cuttable Creatables SVGs. I love this Birthday Hat Cupcake SVG and knew I could make a lot of birthday projects with it. 

For this post, I decided to make a fun fold card – an easel shaker card to be exact. I thought this easel design would really showcase this cute cupcake, especially with some shaker bling.

Easel Shaker Card

Cutting & Scoring dimensions are:

Card Base: 4.25 x 11″ scored at 5.5″ and 8.25″

Card Front: 4.25 x 5.5″

Patterned Paper: 4×5.25″

Two Window Sheets (I used a transparency):  4×5.25″

Since I decided this was also going to be a shaker card, I needed a frame to put the shaker bits in. In Design Space, I created the frame by stacking two different-sized rectangles on top of each other – one at 4” x 5.25” and the second at 3.25” x 4.5” – I center-aligned them & then sliced them to make a frame. 

Once I was done with the frame, I added the cupcake image to the canvas. I removed the base on the bottom of the image and adjusted the cupcake size to fit inside the frame. You can see that I moved it over to the right of the frame and made sure that it covered a portion of all four sides. 

Easel Shaker Card

The cupcake ends up being a little smaller than 3×5″. Add an offset to the cupcake image; move the cupcake image to the side & then select only the frame & offset and weld them together. This will give the cupcake a stronger base to sit on, plus gives it a more polished look with a border.

Once all the pieces are cut, I always place them together before adding adhesive.  Believe me, this is good advice!

Continue to make the card front into a shaker card and once that is complete, add it to the card front.

Easel Shaker Card

When making an easel card, you need to add foam adhesive to the tab on the bottom so it will stop the card front from sliding. I decided to add the birthday greeting on the tab instead of on the card front.

I am so happy with the final result.  This is super cute and perfect for all birthdays.

How to Make a Shaped Card

How to Make a Shaped Card Cricut Tutorial

  Hello, friends! It’s Nancy here with you today!

I’m going to share how I use Printable Cuttable Creatables’ files,
along with Cricut Design Space, how to make a shaped card!


I’ve got lots of photos for you, as I took some screen shots along the way.
I have used:

Honey Bee SVG Collection 

Here’s my card:

How to Make a Shaped Card Cricut Tutorial

I think shaped cards are so much fun to make.

I began by choosing my shape…in this case, it was the fun hive.

I imported it into Cricut Design Space, as both a print-then-cut file, and a cut file.

Bee Hive Shaped Card Tutorial

Here I have changed the color of the cut file to the cardstock color I will use. 

Since my hive is sized to 5.5″ tall, I sized the shape to 5.75″ tall.

Tutorial on Cardmaking with Cricut

I then move the hive out of the way and duplicate the shape.

One is the front of the card, and the other is the back of the card.

Just in case the shape is not totally symmetrical, I give it a flip.

This ensures that the edges of the card will match perfectly when folded.

Individually, each of these files would make a great project.

However, they really work beautifully when all combined on the same page!

I then position the shapes so they are just touching at the top,

where I want them to be hinged.

I then highlight both shapes and click on “Combine”.

You’ll find this in the bottom right corner.

I list of options pop up, and I choose “Weld”.

…and just like that the pieces are connected.

Simply score the hinge, and you have a really fun-shaped card!

All the other elements I used were done with the “print then cut” option.

Once they were cut, I inked the edges and adhered them to the card base.

To finish things off, I added some glitter glue to the bee wings,

and a little drop to the antennae.

I then added another printed and cut element to the inside of the card!

It’s so easy to make fun-shaped cards using these simple steps.

Take a look through the shop and see what inspires you to make one!

Have fun!
