CRICUT: Free File Friday

If you're a card maker you've probably been on the lookout for different types of card folds. I've been doing the same thing and was happy to find an amazing resource of templates created by Penny Wessenauer.

I am so happy to let you know that I have been in contact with Penny and she has given me permission to create cutting files for her templates and freely share them with you!

To get the ball rolling I have created a Centre Step Card and featured it as our Free File Friday card on Facebook over at Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space.

Here's the card I made using the cutting file:

Some instructions:

The cutting file can currently only be used in Cricut Design Space with the Explore. Other versions of the file (Cricut Craft Room/SVG) may be available in the future.

To grab the Design Space file head over to the Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space Facebook group. If you aren't a member you'll need to request to join.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/487705104684042/

You'll find the file in the Free File Friday photo album. Don't forget to "like" the photo if you download it. That way Paulette and I will know if you're enjoying the free files.

A huge thank you to Penny for allowing me to share her files with you in this way!

CRICUT: Free File Friday

It's Free File Friday over at

Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space

This weeks free Design Space file is based on an awesome project by Sam from Pootles Papercraft.

I've been trawling the internet looking for ideas for our Free File Friday and came across Sam's blog. Can I just say I want to make every... single... thing... she has shared!!!

I contacted Sam and asked if it was okay for me to create a Cricut Design Space cut file from one of her projects to share with all of you... and she said yes!

So, without further ado... let me introduce you to the Pootles Papercraft Tea Bag Holder Folder!

They will make the cutest gifts to give to friends or family. Each one holds 4 of the Twinings size tea bag envelopes. (Well, they used to be envelopes. Seems Twinings has cut costs and don't pack their teabags in those cute little envelopes anymore...)

Here's a side view of the holder...

Inside you'll find four of the cutest little envelopes each one containing a tea bag!

And here's Sams versions...

I found they also fit coffee sachets. And imagine one filled with Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares! Drool....


These are the pieces you'll find in the cut file. It might look complicated, but it really is a simple project to make!

You'll notice in Sams video she uses flowers as the envelope closures.  I create my files using the free Cricut Craft Room Basics cartridge so that anyone with an Explore can cut it but unfortunately there's no flower on that cart so I used a circle instead. But you can hide or delete those circles and add whatever shape you like in their place.

So, enough chit chat!! To grab the Design Space file head over to the Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space Facebook group. If you aren't a member you'll need to request to join.

You'll find the file in the Free File Friday photo album. Don't forget to "like" the photo if you download it. That way Paulette and I will know if you're enjoying the free files.

And make sure you watch Sams video! She shows you exactly how to put this beautiful project together! Here's the link to the project:

Please leave Sam some blog love while you're there. And if you happen to live in Wales, UK and need a Stampin' Up consultant... then look no further!

A Public Service Announcement.... you will most likely lose hours at Sams blog.... I watched video after video after video!! You have been warned! :)

I hope you enjoy this weeks file. 'Til next week....

CRICUT: Free Design Space Spring card

We've started something new over at the Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space Facebook group.

Each Friday Paulette or I will be sharing a Design Space cut file that we've created.

This weeks file is a "Spring" card. This card folds flat to put in an envelope and springs up when taken out.

Here's a side view of the card.

Here's some instructions that might help when working out which layers to cut.

To grab the file you just need to be a member of our Facebook group. Once you join you'll find the file in the Photos section in the Free File Friday album.

The file should not be shared outside of the group. Instead, please have your friends request to join the group so they can also be a part of the fun!
