Winter Penguin ATC - Swap

Hi Everyone! This is a winter penguin I made for a ATC with theme being winter wonderland. I have to say making my first ATC was sooooo very difficult. It was hard to fit something into the small 2.5"x3"5 size. Well, hope you like what I made. The penguin was made using Inkscape and cut with SCAL, the svgs for which you can download by clicking here. When you look at the files, the tummy of the penguin is deliberately cut out, so the background shows through. A variation can be to cut a white circle and use as the tummy layer. The SVG file "winter penguin copy.svg" has all the layers and how they are assembled, rest of the svg files are the individual layers to import into SCAL to cut. The background is a some cut from some art my daughter made. Below is an image of the SVG in Inkscape and the end result.

Snowman Round Tag - Swap

Hi Everyone! A round shaped tag I made for a recent christmas swap, the theme was snowman. Snowman was made using Inkscape and some handmade sheets I purchased in India, the svg files for which are available for download by clicking here. File named "snowman round orig.svg" shows all the layers and how they are assembled. The tag was sized 4.5". The the files are named "snowman round orig - copy - 4_5.svg", which means when you import this file into SCAL to cut as per the original dimensions, set the height in SCAL to 4.5", whatever is shown in the filename. Here is an image of the layered SVG and a photo of the end result. Hope you like it. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Mother's Day Squash Mini Book

Hello everyone! This is a Mini Squash Book I made for my mother-in-law for Mother’s day. Just a small gift for her to express my love on this very special Day. It is very well said God could not be everywhere so he made mothers and I love this day because I am a Mom too.

Well Just wanted to share what all techniques I used in this Book. Each page on the book is 4” in size. As usual my favorite is the Iris Paper Folding Flower on the front of the book. Inside I used embossing, stamping, Cricut Storybook Cartridge for some words, and heat embossing. Used Inkscape and SCAL to cut some of the designs as well. I created with Design Studio the flap panel design on the very last page, when you open the ribbon flap, there are four panels with lace patters like a window, and inside is a message. Best viewed in the video, take a look. Hope you like it!
