3 Mini Purse Treat Bags

May 27, 2019 @cozycraftyvibes

Hey Crafty Friends!

I am totally obsessed with these cute little purse treat bags! I will definitely be making more of these! These bags would be awesome as party favors or gift card holders. There are so many things that you could use these treat bags for.

I found these designs in the Silhouette Design Store. I purchased them with the svg file and then brought them into Cricut Design Space to cut them with my Cricut. In an earlier post I used the same method to make a little basket for my Peeps candy. There is a bit of clean up needed for most files that you bring into Cricut Design Space, but once you do it, it is worth it.

These treat bags are really easy to assemble. I found that there were only a few pieces to each bag. Which is always nice. Since you are using an svg file, you are able to increase or decrease the size of the treat bag to fit your need.

In the project share video below, you can see more details on the treat bags.

DIY Avengers Infinity Stones

Hey Crafty Friends!

Mr. Craftini Time and I are defiantly big Marvel fans. So, we are extra excited to see the new Avengers Endgame movie this weekend. 🤓 We bought our tickets a couple of weeks ago and are ready 3 hours of excitement. This post is a little late because we were not able to see the movie until Saturday, so we were on a social media blackout to avoid any spoilers.

I have been on a 3D paper craft project kick lately, so I wanted to make something 3D. You can check out the Peeps Basket I made a couple of weeks ago for one of my Easter projects here on the blog and the YouTube video here.

So, I went searching for a cut file that looked like the gems or some type of stones. I came a crossed a couple in the Silhouette Design Store, I purchased both. But, I found some issues with one of them after bringing them into Cricut Design Space and ended up going with this one – Design ID 145559. I go into more details about the issues in the video project share below.

There are 5 different color stones, so I used some glitter paper to create them.

You can check out how they came out below.

Hopefully, in the week or so, I will finish the tutorial on how to bring in svg files purchased from the Silhouette Design Store into Cricut Design Space.

Thanks for stopping by!

Importing svg files from Silhouette Design Store to Cricut Design Space

January 29, 2019February 2, 2019 @cozycraftyvibes

Hey Crafty Friends,

Today I wanted to discuss importing svg files from Silhouette Design Store (SDS) into Cricut Design Space (CDS). I recently needed to create a birthday card with popcorn on it. 😊 While browsing through CDS, I quickly realized there were not many popcorn designs. Now just a disclaimer…I love my Cricut machine and if there were a better selection of designs, I won’t even own a Silhouette machine. But, the Silhouette Design Store features many more designs, from many more designers. At one time I did have an Access Subscription, but I own lots of Cricut cartridges and I didn’t feel it was worth it.

In the past year or so the SDS has included an option to purchase the design file as an svg. Prior to this, the design was in the Silhouette Design Software format and was not able to be imported into CDS. There were a few workarounds to format it into an svg, but they were all very time consuming.

Now you can pay a little bit more and you can have both files. No conversion needed. Now on to the card.

For this card I used system fonts and flattened the wording to create a print and cut. I imported the popcorn design, sized it up and cut it out.
