All three cuts are in one file....just adjust x coordinate to move left or right until the part you are cutting is on the mat. You can replace some squares with your photos from game day
Last year I gave you dancing santa and reindeer. This year the santa, reindeer and snowmen are caroling. I'M SORRY THIS FILE DIDN'T WORK. I FORGOT TO CONVERT SOME RECTANGLES AND CIRCLES TO PATHS. IT LOOKED FINE IN INKSCAPE.
I fixed the file and color separated it too. If you don't want all the people at once, you will have to delete their peices. I did it on 3 separate 12x12 mats, all in one file. As I design in inkscape, I haven't figured out the scal layers yet.
I came across a photo of this box and thought he was a cutie. Decided we might want to cut one out on our Cricut so came up with a pattern. You might like the box by itself for other uses, even if you don't want to accessorize it as a fox.
I was playing around with making a brick wall effect for my card. I saw the technique over on splitcoaststampers. Of course, they cut everything by hand. Technique at Split Coast Stampers
Using the Cricut, you can cut your "bricks" and make a template to glue them onto easily.
First find a suitable image or stamp something like a vine and flowers onto some card stock.
Put it "upside down" on your cricut mat and cut. Number the squares just in case. Remove the mortar between the bricks(weed out the borders).
Then put the background piece of paper on your mat. Set the pressure to LOW so that the blade will just scrape the paper, leaving a mark but not cutting all the way through. This will give you a template to glue your bricks onto. IT will help you get the vertical and horizontal spacing and alignment correct. You could use some ink to create interest on the edges of each brick if you want.
Here is the result. I just used a piece of cardstock that had an image on it. I don't have any large stamps.This paper was on clearance at Michaels for 7/$1.00.
There are lots more examples over at splitcoaststampers.
You have probably seen these boxes at Dollar Tree. They are sold in the "wedding section".
If they suit your purposes, I would just buy a set there. Unfortunately they only coome in a beige and white color, and are quite small(2" by 2.25"). I thought it might be fun to make our own, so I made my own pattern.
If you cut them out of two sided paper, they are almost decorated when you are done. Just add a few butterflies or hearts, and cut them out at the same time..
Top view of box when open..can stick a gift card in there!
I did put in some of the score lines, but not all, as it really slows down the cutting. I tried to do the ones which folded in, instead of out. You can see from my picture where most of the score lines go. If you are cutting a lot of these, I'd just remove the score lines, after I cut one and see how it goes together.
The embellishments were just from the scal library.

For the princess in all of us, here are some clothes usually seen on movie stars!I had fun coming up with these today. Once again I am "out of town" and in a hotel room, so have lots of free design time. I can't cut this week, didn't bring my Cricut this time. If you have any problems with a file, let me know.
The dresses are individual files in the following zip file you can download:
Lots of Native American svg files are posted on my blog today. You'll have to open the files in inkscape and extract what you want to cut and color separate it before importing into scal.
