Layered Cake, Pop Up Bithday Card

Hi guys!
So, 2019 has begun, what are your new year's resolution? One of mine is to try and use as much of the supplies I already have and try not to buy new ones until I try them all at least once. I know, buying them and using them are not in the same category 😜.
News from now on: I will include a DXF file for those Silhouette Studio users that don't have access to SVG files.
I'm a fan of pop up cards and I wanted to begin this year posting this fun and easy card.

A very simple front panel and a colorful pop up inside

Using Pattern Fills In Design Space To Speed Up Your Work

Hello everyone!

It's been a while. We've been doing a lot of home improvement (including my craft space) and things took longer than we expected. Is all done now, so hopefully I'll have a lot more time at hand to craft and share. I was thinking about doing a craft room tour video, if you think that's something you would like to see, please leave a comment below.
Today is all about speeding up your card making or scrapbooking process using Pattern Fills in Design Space. You could go from a couple of hours to only a few minutes and have a card ready to go if you are in a hurry.

Achieving The Best Print Then Cut Image Possible

Hi there crafters!

I don't do much print then cut, but when I do I want my images to be as crisp as I design them and I think you and I buy printers and paper to match and don't want to waste our money.

Sometime ago I showed you how to get the most out of your printer (click to see previous post), but Cricut has made a few changes to how you print then cut since then, so I decided to update the technique.

Sky Is The Limit Pop Up Card - OAK Tree Stamps Digital File

I cannot get enough of the digital coloring that we achieved, at Oak Tree Stamps.

This time I wanted to make a card for anyone out there in need of some inspiring words, whether it's a graduate or someone going through some difficulties.

I used the Print Then Cut ready images that come with the Hello Spring! set from Oak Tree Stamps.

How to Print, then Print, then Cut - Getting the Best Resolution From Your Printer

Hi everyone!

If you are a Cricut user, you may have come across Design Space's (DS) Print then Cut (PTC) feature not using your printer's full resolution. According to Kay from Clever Someday it is due to the software need to lower the resolution of your uploaded images to work better on a browser based environment (or something like that). Designing images is a big thing for me and I like my lines to be as sharp as they possibly can, so I came up with a digital method to get the best printer resolution your machine is capable of delivering.

To see what I mean, here are two images:

Manual Print Then Cut (Before The Feature Was Added To Design Space)

I know the Print Then Cut (PTC) feature is coming to Design Space, but for those of you who can't wait or have to deliver something soon, here is the way I approached it    .
Here are the images and some explaining for the tutorial on Manual Print Then Cut
This is the way I cut all the text for my baby shower invitations I did a couple of months ago.
