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

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:
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!!

Hello friends! This is Linh or LV Handcrafted across the socials. I’m excited to share with you this Glass Etching Tutorial project – a “His & Hers” Retro glass juice bottle. I used a technique called glass etching to transfer these designs to the bottle. It’s a wonderful way to create a permanent design on your glassware. You can wash and even put it through the dishwasher without worrying about the design fading or peeling off.
See how it’s done in this video tutorial:
Here are 8 quick & easy steps:
| STEP 1 Bring the SVG Separated file into Cricut Design Space. Scale the image to the size you’d like on your glass |  |
| STEP 2 Create a box that’s 1 inch wider and 1 inch taller than your design. Place the design over your box and center it. Attach the design and the box you just created so they cut together. |  |
| STEP 3 Make It! |  |
| STEP 4 Weed out the positive design. The vinyl that is left should be all of the area surrounding your design. |  |
| STEP 5 Apply transfer vinyl to the design. Burnish well. Peel off the paper release liner from your vinyl. |  |
| STEP 6 Position your design onto your glass project. Start from the center and burnish outwards. Peel off the transfer vinyl. |  |
| STEP 7 With a paintbrush, apply the Glass Etching Cream to the design. Be careful not to get etching cream outside of the stencil. Keep brushing and moving the cream around the design for 3 minutes. |  |
| STEP 8 Rinse the project with cold water thoroughly. Dry. Peel off the sticker vinyl |  |
TIPS:
Thanks for following along!

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.
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.
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.
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.

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:
Here’s my card:
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.
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.
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!

Still, looking for something special for your Valentine’s day? Well, it’s Ellen here, with a fun valentine’s gift idea for dog lovers.
In this post, I’m featuring some lovely SVG files from PCC again (My Dog is My Valentine SVG, Valentine Hearts Gift Tags Free SVG Files, XOXO Retro Free SVG File), but be sure to check the “My Cat is My Valentine SVG File” or the “Sucker For You Valentine’s SVG File” too, for people that have cats or kids running around.
Below you can see a step-by-step tutorial for starters or scroll down till the end to see more pictures.
When uploading an SVG file, some items of the files are united, and others are not. Sometimes you want to adjust it and you can! Let me explain how to do this with your Cricut machine. If you have another machine, try the official website, or consult our Facebook group. I’m sure others will help you.
Select all the shapes you want to unite and click on the ‘combine’ button on the bottom right in Cricut Design Space.
Sometimes you also want to make two parts of one image. First, you add a random shape (here a black square) bigger than the item you want separate. Select all the layers and the shape, and break it apart by clicking the ‘slice’ button.
Now that all your images are sliced, you can work with them however you want. If you don’t need the extra layers that the slice tool created, just delete or hide them.
You can position the layers the way you want on the cutting mat too.
When you are ready to cut your materials (in this case vinyl), it’s time to prepare the jar. I used a surface cleaner to make the jar clean and grease-free.
Make sure your project surface is clean and dry. Carefully place all the cutout shapes on the vinyl project as you want. Then press the transfer tape (with vinyl) firmly onto the surface, starting from the center and working out to the edges. Use a craft spatula or scraper. Proceed to peel off the transfer tape.
Next, I cut out a tag and some paper (I also used iridescent paper for the XOXO). In the last step, I stuck it on a shadow layer and attached the whole bundle to the tag with foam tape.
Of course, I filled the jar with dog treats; ideal for a dog lover.
What would you put in the jar? And how would you decorate it?
-Ellen

Hi Everyone,
Kris here today!
It’s February and now that I’m back teaching in the classroom, I can’t help myself but make some festive t-shirts for the holidays/celebrations that 2023 has to bring!
For this year’s Valentine’s shirt, I decided to go with the You’re a Whole Llama Fun SVG File. However….instead of using the SVG file as is……I added my own little twist. I took the words out and duplicated a couple of the hearts to fill in the space where the words were and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome…..I love it and think my students will love it too!
Another idea I had bouncing in my head was to remove the words “You’re a whole fun” and keep the word Llama and add the word “mama” or even “mini”, but after consulting with my daughter, she didn’t want a matching Llama shirt with her mama. So, I’m on my own with the Llama shirt!
I used pink, red, beige, and black heat transfer vinyl from Kassa and added a pop of glitter HTV from Cricut. I just love the pop that the glitter HTV can give a design and a t-shirt!
Be sure to check your pieces of vinyl in your stash and play around in Design Space (or whichever program you use) and play around with different Llama colors! We had fun choosing our Llama colors!
Remember when layering glitter vinyl….always keep it as the last layer!
Keep the design as is…or add your own twist to it! That’s what is so wonderful about Printable Cuttable Creatables designs is that they are extremely versatile!
Happy Crafting!
Kris

Welcome to the Printable Cuttable Creatables blog, it’s Ellen here sharing Valentine’s Day DIY Gift Bags featuring some lovely SVG files from PCC (Cute Lemon & Lime, Cute Strawberry, Cute Autumn Acorns, and the Baby Blocks Capital Alphabet Set).
I looked at some funny Valentine’s quotes on google for the images I wanted to use. Then I uploaded all the illustrations to Cricut Design Space. I deleted all the shapes I didn’t need, for example, the squares around the Baby Blocks Capital Alphabet Set.
Next, I selected the words “Zest”, “Berry” and “Nuts” and used the ‘align tool’ to align the bottom and space the words evenly (my Cricut Design Space is in Dutch, but I hope the picture still helps you out since the icons are the same).
When I was happy with the end results I let the machine do the work and cut every piece I needed.
To bring the idea into reality, prepare the supplies a bit too. Here are my tips for heat transfer.
The end results are simply stunning and super cute!!
I bought some heart-shaped cookies that fit in these bags. They will be given away on Valentine’s Day to some family members.
These little bags are perfect to make someone’s day!
All the files come with more images than you see here on the blog, be sure to check them out, to see which is your favorite.
If you love it as much as I do, then there is a big fruit set too; the “Cute Summer Fruit SVG Files Collection” in the PCC shop. You can see oranges, cherries, melons, bananas,… and a lot more in the set.
I still have a few quotes I love: You are very a-PEELING, I love you CHERRY much, you hold the KIWI to my heart,… I really can keep going here and cannot wait to see what you make!
What is your favorite bag? And which fruit and quote would you like to use? I’m super curious, please let me know below!
