Scallop Favor Bag Cut - George and Mini Monograms

Inspired by the Sizzix Scallop Favor Bag (pic shown here on the right), I've created this cut on my DS program. You can use with the basket, or without. You could probably increase the size of the Scallop sides as well, if you would like the favor to be bigger.

I used George and Mini Monogram cartridges to make this cut. You can download the cut file by clicking on link "Scallop Favor Bag" under "Bags, Boxes n' Favors" on my sidebar.


Here is the photo shot of the cut on DS:

Here are my samples....





Enjoy!

Large Backpack Design

I've finally completed the Large Backpack design that I promised, like forever. I had a great time creating this one. I wanted to have it ready and just in time for my son's Pre-K graduation, so that I could pack them with goodies and give them to his fellow classmates and teachers. I was able to complete the design, cut all 25, and have them ready for today's festivities..... =0) In the small pocket - I inserted a tag to post a lil' message.

Completed Size: 3" x 2" x 5"

Scallop Heart, Inner Swirls & Scallop Card

Here is another reason why I love using the Cricut's Design Studio. If I ever want to create a layer to fit exactly inside another cut, then I can do that. I first select the cut that I want, which in this case is the scallop heart, and adjust to the size I am looking for. I then select the inner Swirls design, and on my computer screen, directly layer this design on top of my scallop heart and adjust accordingly to the exact size that I want. I then move the design over to the right, and select the cardstock that I want to use. Adhere the size of the carstocks (which I used 6x6) to the mat, 1 red, the other white, and have both cuts cut at the same time!!! How cool, huh?!?!!? To add the glitter - I simply ran the swirl die cut through my Xyron machine, then bathed it in my glitter container.

The card is also a cut that I created using the Cricut Design Studio. It is a scallop edge card cut. The card cuts out to 5.5 x 11 and you can cut 2 cuts 1 time if you have the cricut expression.

Here is what my creation turned out to look like. As you can imagine, it is an over sized card, therefore - you may have to create an envelope to go with it. =0)
