DIMENSIONAL PAPER CRAFTING...mouse cart svg

hello all,

i want to share with you a 3d project i made with a samantha walker digital file and it turned out super adorable and i know you are going to love it.

Mouse Cart 

3D

please know this is a photo heavy post. 

i wanted to capture all sides and details.

int this pic you see where i will display my mouse cart. it will stay here for a while. it looks really nice and the colors match with the background, :D

i used my cricut explore and its software to open and cut the file.

the mat i used is a 12x12 but the software will say you need a 12x24 but do not pay attention. it cuts just fine on the 12x12.

NOTE one of the canopy sections is not attached just yet but the entire cart base is. you will attach that layer later on. it makes it easier not being attached at this point.

(sorry about this pic, it was a bit cloudy when taken)

                      

here i am showing the left side and right side of its face.

adorable, isn't it?

the patterned papers i used are from mme: away we go collection (6x6)

 these pics are showing left and right sides again.

see those diminutive parts of the bike. well, they cut perfect. 

check the size of the pedal, it is actually two to pieces, lol. 

  you won't be able to attach both parts completely but do not worry because that is how it was designed. 

i recommend a good strong adhesive and for the base a nice thick cardstock.

i added some extra details:  stamped a subtle pattern on shirt, edge of papers were inked for more definition, some wet embossing on the ice cream and on the tiny round parts on the wheels. 

like it, huh? i think they can be great for a birthday party decoration, as favors filled with candy, as a gift box and who knows what else you can think of i am not.

the mouse cart has been linked to their store, if interested.

let us know if you make one, and show us too, please. we would love to see your take on it.

thanks for stopping by!

STACKING BOXES- LOVE MINI CARDS KIT SET

hello crafters,

 a mini tutorial for a mini card kit set.

many variations can be used: candy, jewelry, love notes, love coupons...)

using

 these stacking boxes from carina gardner, 

this puckered bow from jamie cripps,

and,

the envelope from the penny slider card from samantha walker.

i re-sized all elements except the stacking boxes.

i used the cricut explore and its design space software for this project.

 these svg's come in different formats for different machines and some you can even cut by hand and or print and cut.

Note: the score lines on them need to be attached. to do this, simply select the item in question, right click and click on attach. if all the images are grouped, un-group them first by right clicking and clicking un-group, then right click again and click on attach.

how i did it:

#1- all elements were cut and scored

#2- box assembly

#3- box cover/bow assembly (i used mini glue dots for the bow assembly)

#4- mini cards assembly (cards were cut at 4"wide x 3"tall and scored at 2")

#5- mini cards and mini envelope (envelopes were cut at 3.9"wide x 5.25"high and scored where applicable)

#6- cards presentation

(note: the small hearts are from a martha stewart paper punch)

#7- inside stacking boxes (hearts, twine and mini cards)

#8- finished project

#9- another view

#10- another view

Note: the mini cards front were covered with patterned paper.

and this is it:

-awesome assemble for valentine's day or an everyday thinking of you set-

any questions???

please, leave them in the comments section and one of us will get back to you asap.

thanks again for stopping by and i hope you have a great day!

JUST A NOTE

hello all, 

did you have fun last night with our ceo and team?

it was lots of fun trying to keep up. i failed. no way i was keeping up with all of it.

anyway, i am happy for us cricuteers explorer. our future looks so good.

and mr. ashish (cricut ceo) is one of the kind.

i think we all love him. he has been trying so hard to earn our hearts back and they way i see it, he is succeeding. 

anyway, with all the snow and pain here and there...the days just fly and i did not have anything done from the bits and pieces cart

 BUT...

i had found this free svg (they have other freebies) at a new site called digiplayground and i  had made this cute little box for valentines.

oh please, DO NOt type 

digital playground or it will take you to a porn site...it just happened to me, oh my!

the name is 

digiplayground....

(maybe they should think of another name because typing the wrong key can take you on that other site). lol.

.......and here is the candy box i used as a love post notes

FLIP OPEN CANDY BOX

digiplayground free svg
-thank you digiplayground for the freebie-

box: 3" x 8"

(re-sized)

 heart (outline) from george and basic shapes (M36415): 1" x 1.25" welded to love post from wild card (M34A03)

arrow from boho graphics (M33222): 2.4" x 1.7"

mini heart on arrow: 1.2" x 1.36"

---

 mini cards: 2.5" x 6" 

(scored and folded at 3")

mini cards hearts: 1.5" x 1.75"

just a note from wild card (M307F8): 1" x .9"

envelopes from smiley cards (M418E7): 5.66" x 4.2"

i think it turned out really cute. 

i had room for 6 mini cards and their envelopes for the size i chose.

i stamped the wavy postal lines on the envelope using a g-studio clear stamp i had on my stash. the mini heart was punched out.

NOTE: i tried to include all the number id's and where the cuts were from but some i can't remember. that is one thing i want to have on design space: the ability to find/see what cart was used after being added on the virtual mat and then be able to save all that info.

i do not know if they do have that option or not, but i can't find it.

you can make these darling boxes any way you want: any other size, colors, events and use them as desire.

also, 

digiplayground is having a dt call. 

go and check them out.

have a great week

and again, 

thanks for taking a peek.
