New Post-it Note photo box

This is the  newest cut file i created for myself, the picture is my daughter and youngest son at my daughter's wedding three years ago.  I am going to put it on my computer desk so i can smile every day.  I just love the expressions on their faces.  It comes with a liner too, and holds three post it pads.  This is going to make a great gift.

I have this file for sale HERE if you are interested, available in a multi format downloadable zip file

Graduation Gift Box

Just finished my graduation gift box to use for monetary gifts for upcoming graduations this June.

 Inside the scroll are the printed words congratulations. You may fold currency or a check in half lengthwise and insert it within the scroll.

The finished size is approx. 2 1/2 square.  Can be enlarged depending on the cutter and software you have.

Make your own rubber stamps

Hi everyone, someone questioned me on whether or not to buy the gel stamp stuff for the cricut machine.  I have it, never used it because of the consistency.  So I thought, what about the rhinestone rubber??

With my new cutter (graphtec 5000-40)  the rhinestone rubber cuts beautifully, so why not.

Here are my results, now to try more intricate details.

 here the design cut in the rubber with the excess removed. the back is sticky too.

I stuck the letters to the clear block.  I needed to double up the letters to build height.  It worked pretty well.  I am not a very good stamper, so your results may be better, but you can save a ton a money cutting your own lettering.   Can't wait to try more tomorrow.

see told you i couldn't wait, here is a flourish i created in inkscape, this time i layered three of them.
I'm thinking its the ink, maybe its old too.

I've been working on a few items to sell in the VDBC store and also some matching embroidery in the hoop items.  Here is a sneek peek of the Papercrafted version of the door hanger. I should have these up in the store this weekend, and complete the embroidery versions too.

 

Here are screen shots of the embroidered versions.  Contact me if you are interested as i dont have these on any website as of yet.

The girl angel turned out great for a gift for my neighbor, using patterned fabric and matching thread.

Great news

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am a new designer for Visual Designs by Chris.  She has some very talented and very helpful designers on her team and I am honored to be a part of it.   We create digital files for use in scrapbooking and files for use in digital cutters such as Cricut, Craft Robo, Wishblad and Silhouette.  These are just a few of them.  My items for sale can be found HERE under Christy's Cuts,  and the main page of designer files are HERE.  Below are just a few of the designs I have uploaded to the site, I have many more, but the process in converting and uploading is time consuming, so I am taking it slowly.  I love the fact that creative people can use my designs and make wonderful things for themselves or others.
