Day 4–25 Days of Cricut–FREE File

Happy Saturday everyone!  We hope you are enjoying your weekend.  We hope you’re enjoying the ideas, inspiration and FREEBIES. Just a quick note about the free files. Please download them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I found out there is a limit to how many downloads per day are allowed. So I am looking into increasing the amount. In the meantime, don’t wait, in order to be sure and get your download do it as soon as you can.

So here are today’s projects.

Here is a view of the entire layout

Here is a closeup of the cardinal I created.

Here is a closeup of the snowman.

Here is a closeup of the Decorate the Season Title Block. The images of the wreath and the ornament are printed on the bottom in case you don't have a way to cut them.

Now for those who have the Cricut and use Cartridges:

I created this card using the Cheerful Seasons and Picturesque Cartridges.

The finished size of the card is 5.5 x 5.5

The wreath was from Cheerful Seasons at 2.75”

The flourishes and corners were from Picturesque at 2.75”

The circle dot is from George and Basic Shapes.

The Season’s Greetings digital stamp was one I created. This is part of today’s giveaway!

So now to the FREE files for today:

In today’s download you will get the

• Decorate The Season Title, 
• The Wreath and the Ornament Cutting Files AND 
• the Season’s Greetings Digital Stamp.

To help with the downloads I am including everything in one folder. The digital stamp and title block are pdf files. The cutting files are in AI, DXF, GSD, KNK, MTC, SVG and WPC.

Day 3–25 Days of Cricut–FREE File

Happy Friday everyone!

Welcome to our 3rd installment of 25 Days of Cricut. We sincerely hope you have enjoyed the first two days!  We have a lot more in store for you, so let’s get right to it!

Again in keeping with the theme of our challenge here this week, I made a project using my Cricut and some files that I created.

Here is a view of the entire layout. It is very bright and pretty in person. Unfortunately my lighting was a bit off when shooting.

Here is a close up of the bear. She is all tangled in her tinsel and lights :-)

But at least she is bundled up in her sweater.

Here is a close up shot of the tree. Pretty simple but I wanted to keep it clean and uncluttered.

Here is a close up of the title block. This is the FREE file for today! But make sure and download it before midnight! Then it will go away!

Well that’s it for today. Please prepare to join me tomorrow for another fun day of great crafting fun.

Please feel free to leave a comment. We (I) love to read them and please kindly share this with all your blogging and crafting buddies!

Thank you so much!  Melin and the CookingWitCricut.com Design Team!

25 Days of Cricut Day 2

Good morning everyone,

Thank you for stopping by for day 2 of our 25 days of Cricut holiday fun! So let’s get right to it!

Here is a layout I created using the new Inspired Hearts Cartridge.

Here is a close up shot of the nativity cut that is on this cartridge. I cut it out on plain white paper and then the shadow on black. I used glimmer mist and inks to give it the distressed/vintage look. The pictures don’t show the soft, subtle shimmer of the glimmer mist and the metallic gold ink. It is very pretty in person :-)

Here is a close up shot of the Jesus title that is also on this cartridge.

Here is a close up shot of the Printable Stamp – Title block I made.

Okay, I can’t leave those of you who have your cutter but don’t have the cartridges out, 

so I created a “version of this layout with cutting files I created.

For the sake of time, I used the same layout, I just switched out the cutting files. Here is a view of the entire layout with “my version” of cuts.

Here is a close up shot of the nativity cutting file I created. I cut it in white and black paper and employed the same techniques as described earlier to give it the aged – vintage look.

Here is my version of the title. I started with a font called “fancy” and then I added my own 

touches so that it more closely resembled the Cricut cut.

Then I had cut all the cuts in smaller versions and created cards out of the same style cuts and used the “left over” paper to create these cards to they would have a similar look to the layouts.

Here is the Cricut – Inspired Heart Card

Here is “My Version” card

Well, I hope you enjoyed the projects today. Today I am gifting you the Jesus and Nativity cut files I created…PLUS the Digi Stamp Title Block :-) May the abundant blessing of the almighty fill your hearts this joyous Christmas Season. May the true meaning of the Season be your compass and guiding light today and each day He gives!  Many Christmas Blessings,

Melin and the CookingWithCricut.com Team
