An SVG file is a vector graphic, meaning you can change the size without losing quality. SVG files are perfect for creating beautiful cards at home with your Cricut or another cutting machine.

I designed this free SVG as a single-line format file perfect for Cricut pens, the Cricut Foil Tool, or even the Debossing tool. Each option will give you a different look for your New Year cards, but all will be equally beautiful.

How to Use New Year Free SVG Card File

If you’re new to cutting machines or using SVG files, you will be amazed at how easy it is to utilize them in your crafting. I include specific instructions on uploading this file to a Cricut machine, but other cutting machines have similar instructions.

While we’re on cutting machines, I often get asked what my favorite Cricut machine is, so I wrote a thorough article on the differences between the Cricut Explore and Cricut Maker. If you’re in the market for a Cricut machine, you will want to check out that article!

  1. Sign in to the Tried & True Creative Library to download the New Year free SVG card file by clicking the image of this project.
  2. Save the file to your computer and upload it to Cricut Design Space (or other cutting machine programs).
  3. Select your desired writing tool. Cricut has some great new pen options that will work great with this card, or there’s always the super glam option of adding Cricut Foil.
  4. You can use premade cards with this file or add a few extra cut lines to create your own card from any thick cardstock.
  5. Give your gorgeous New Year card to someone special to wish them a happy new year!

Other uses for New Years free SVG

Part of the magic of Cricut machines is that there are so many ways to put SVG files to good use! There’s almost no end to the benefits of New Year free SVG, from decorations to bookmarks, party accessories, and more.

I DON’T suggest using this file for cutting with heat transfer vinyl or permanent vinyl. The lines are way too thin to cut unless you add a bit of an offset. It’s your call if you want to try it!

You can use this file for New Year’s to create decorations for your home. How about using metallic pens to create a large New Year wall decoration? Or if you don’t have the space or need something easy to pack away, how about cutting the card out of acrylic or wood and making New Year’s ornaments? Or stickers to pass out your New Year’s party?

No matter how you use New Year’s free SVG card file, it will be a great way to add a unique touch to any New Year’s celebration!

How to use SVG files

If you’ve ever used a cutting machine, chances are you’ve used an SVG file. But why are SVG files so crucial for these machines? Here’s a look at why cutting machines use SVG files and how they help make your projects easier.

SVG files are vector-based, which means you can scale them to any size without losing quality. SVG files are perfect for cutting machines because they allow you to resize your designs without worrying about the file getting blurry or pixel-heavy.

SVG files are also easy to edit, so if you need to make changes to your design, it’s quick and easy. Plus, if you’re using a cutting machine that supports layers, you can easily edit individual parts of your design without affecting the rest of the design.

I’ve got tons of free SVG files you can access in the Tried & True Creative Library! Continue reading to learn how to sign up.

If you’re looking for a modern and stylish Halloween wreath that won’t break the bank, look no further than your local Dollar Tree. You can create a stunning Halloween wreath with inexpensive supplies to impress your guests, ghouls, and goblins!

Why you should make your Halloween wreath

It’s no secret that Halloween is one of the most fun holidays of the year. But what’s not so fun is spending a lot of money on decorations. One way to save money and still have a great-looking decoration is to make wreaths. And it’s not that difficult if you use inexpensive materials from the dollar store.

With just a few expensive supplies, you can create a modern and stylish Halloween wreath that will impress your guests and cost you less than $10. So why not give it a try? You’ll be surprised at how much fun you have in the process.

Other reasons to make your own Modern Halloween wreath:

  • Making your wreath gets you in that Halloween spirit!
  • You can customize your wreath to match your Halloween decor, and it’s a great way to add a personal touch to your holiday decorations and front door decor.
  • Making your wreath is also fun for the whole family. So get creative and have fun!

Supplies needed from the dollar store

There are so many Halloween supplies you can get from a dollar store! For this modern wreath project, you’ll need:

A step-by-step guide to making the wreath

  1. Use hot glue to apply the bones to the wreath form. I found it helpful to start with the larger bones and then added the smaller bones after.
  2. Once the bones are in place, spray paint the wreath with your desired color. I used Krylon Citrus Green for mine.
  3. Make a simple bow from your decorative ribbon cut with scissors. I got this fabulous black and white ribbon from Michaels.
  4. Attach to bottom of wreath with either a wire or hot glue gun.

Customize your wreath with unique embellishments

There are many ways to customize this wreath to make it your own. Here are a few more ideas for you:

  • Use small pumpkins instead of bones, or use both!
  • Paint the wreath black and add glow-in-the-dark embellishments.
  • Tie some fake spider webs on here to make it even creepier.
  • Try a gradient look with spray paint for a fun and festive look.
  • Omit the ribbon completely. Or use a white ribbon or black ribbons customized with ghosts or skulls for a fun look.

Use your creativity to create the perfect Halloween door decorations!

In conclusion, making a modern Halloween wreath from Dollar Tree is a great way to save money and still have beautiful decorations for your home. You can create a stunning spooky wreath to impress your front porch guests with just a few supplies. So, get creative and have fun!

Cute Pumpkin Spice Free Fall SVG Files for Cricut https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/cute-pumpkin-spice-free-fall-svg-files-for-cricut/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/cute-pumpkin-spice-free-fall-svg-files-for-cricut/#respond Fri, 16 Sep 2022 14:15:25 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=20243 The weather temperature is dropping, and the leaves are starting to fall, which only points to one thing: time to start crafting for fall! And there is no better way to get in the autumn spirit than with cute pumpkin spice-themed SVG files for your Cricut. Whether you’re using them for DIY projects, pillows, porch decor, mugs, or t-shirts, these free SVG cut files are the perfect way to celebrate the new fall decor season!

What’s the deal with pumpkin spice?

Pumpkin spice has recently become one of the most popular flavors in coffee, desserts, and even beer. While some may be tired of this flavor being everywhere, many others love the taste of pumpkin spice and look forward to its appearance each fall.

So why do people love pumpkin spice? Part of the appeal may be that it reminds us of autumn and all the cozy feelings surrounding this time of year. Pumpkin spice has a warm, rich flavor that can make even the most uncomplicated food or drink taste special.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin spice flavoring! I’d much rather have apple cider or peppermint flavoring. I, however, like the scent of pumpkin spice and have a few candles that evoke fall every time I burn them.

Whether you enjoy pumpkin spice lattes, cookies, or just the smell of this autumnal flavor, there’s no doubt it’s here to stay.

Here are a few other pumpkin spice themed projects I have: Make Freezer Paper Stencils with Free Pumpkin Spice SVG, Pumpkin Spice Season Free SVG & Gift Tag, “More Than Pumpkin” Free Coloring Page

What are SVG files?

SVG file is short for Scalable Vector Graphic. They are graphic files you can open in vector editing software like Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, or CorelDRAW, as well as in most digital cutting machine platforms. You can then manipulate the digital files by adding colors, changing line weights, and more.

SVG files are great for craft projects because you can scale them to any size without losing quality. You can use them for printable projects like decals, t-shirt designs, and stencils. You can also cut them out with a machine to make things like vinyl stickers and iron-on transfers. 

To use an SVG design file with a cutting machine, you’ll need to open it in the software that came with your device (Design Space for Cricut and Studio for Silhouette Cameo). Then follow the prompts to send the file to your cutter.

You can find all my free SVG files in the Tried & True Creative Library, including this “Whatever Spices Your Pumpkin” file. You can find instructions for accessing them below.

Tried & True Creative Library members can use their password and download the free file immediately. Not a member yet? Just enter your info below, and we’ll email you the password!

Disclosure: All free svg files are for personal use only. You can purchase a Commercial Use License here.

Cricut machines: What they are and how to use them

Cricut machines are a great way to cut out shapes and letters for your craft projects. With a Cricut, you can create intricate designs and patterns that would be difficult to cut out by hand. Perfect for free fall svg files for Cricut!

Cricut cutting machines are also great for cutting out vinyl decals and stickers. You can use Cricut to make custom t-shirts, mugs, and more. Cricut cutting machines are easy to use and come in various shapes and sizes. I have all Cricut machines (Cricut Maker, Cricut Explore, and Cricut Joy), but my favorite is the Cricut Maker 3. It’s perfect for HTV (heat transfer vinyl), permanent vinyl, and paper. The main difference between the Maker and Explore is that it can also cut more unusual materials.

Not sure which machine is for you? No worries, I’ve got you covered! Check out the article I wrote about helping you decide which Cricut machine you should buy:

Make a Cheap and Easy Metallic Skulls Dollar Store Halloween Wreath https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/make-a-cheap-and-easy-metallic-skulls-dollar-store-halloween-wreath/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/make-a-cheap-and-easy-metallic-skulls-dollar-store-halloween-wreath/#respond Thu, 15 Sep 2022 14:35:01 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=14363

There are few crafts I enjoy making more than Halloween wreaths. I’ve made so many wreaths over the years, and I love each of them! That being said, This Metallic Skulls Halloween Wreath might just be one of my absolute favorites. It’s minimal and modern from a distance, with just the right amount of spookiness when you get close. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that you can get almost all the supplies from a dollar store!

Dollar Store Halloween Supplies

You can pick up many great Halloween supplies at most dollar stores! I’ve made more than a dozen different types of dollar store DIY Halloween wreaths from craft supplies I’ve picked up there. Some of my favorites are:

As you can see, the options are almost endless! Most of my Halloween holiday decorations are from Dollar Tree but I’ll hop into the other dollar stores just out of curiosity sometimes. Halloween crafts are just so much fun to make!

Metallic Skulls Halloween Wreath

Supplies:

Step 1. First things first, you’re going to assemble all your supplies on a table in front of you…and then you’re going to grab a beverage of choice and turn on a good movie because gluing the skulls in place is going to take a while. But I promise it’s worth it! Begin by placing hot glue on the back of a skull and then placing it on the wreath, making sure to hold it in place long enough for the glue to harden. Don’t worry if it feels like the skulls aren’t really secure on the wreath. By the time you finish, there’s going to be so much glue on the wreath those skulls aren’t going anywhere!

Step 2. Now, glue a second skull on all four corners, positioning them closer to the first set of skulls.

Step 3. Continue adding the skulls until the entire front of the wreath is covered.

Step 4. Fill in the outer and inner edges with skulls until most of the wreath is covered.

Step 5. Now that all your skulls are in place, you must decide whether to keep your wreath au natural or go full glam with metallic paint. I chose spray paint!

Step 6. Apply your desired spray paint color over the entire wreath using light coats, allowing for full drying time.

My favorite thing about this Metallic Skulls Halloween Wreath is that from a distance, it looks like just an ordinary black wreath, but when you get closer, there are skulls, skulls, and more skulls!

They have plenty of great items that you can use to make fun crafts like this “The Witch Is In” Really Easy Dollar Tree Halloween Decor!

Halloween Wreaths on a Budget

Find all of my dollar store wreath tutorials all in one place! You’ll get 18 of my favorite wreaths with supply lists, step-by-step tutorials, and hints I’ve learned through the years!

Original price: $8.99
SALE price: $4.49

What to buy for Halloween from Dollar Tree

A frugal way to do Halloween decorations is by going to the dollar store for supplies. For example, you can buy fake spiders, cobwebs, and other spooky decorations inexpensively. Dollar store supplies can be a great way to add some holiday spirit without spending much money. Here are other supplies I like to get at Dollar Tree for Halloween:

  • foam skulls
  • plastic skull
  • mini skeletons
  • supplies for skull wreath
  • kids treats
  • candle holders
  • mason jars
  • baskets
  • front porch decor
  • front door decor
  • balloons
  • mantle items
  • party favors
  • plastic spider
  • foam pumpkins
  • plastic pumpkins
  • glitter
  • fake broom
  • candy

The list could seriously go on and on! Most of the materials for this Easy Dollar Tree Wall Decor are from a dollar store (Dollar Tree), and even though I created them years ago, they still sell many of the same items during Halloween.

“The Witch Is In” Halloween Decor

Materials:

  • Wooden Painting Panel
  • Dollar Tree “Witch Is In” Sign
  • Dollar Tree Plastic Cauldron
  • Dollar Tree Plastic Eyeballs
  • Great Stuff Crack Filler
  • Paint
  • Hot Glue Gun / Glue Sticks
Supplies needed to make the easy "Witch Is In" Dollar Tree Wall Decor

Step 1. Use a pair of scissors (not your fabric ones!) to cut off the back portion behind the handle of the plastic cauldron. Be careful and go slowly, as there may be cracks along the way. Don’t worry, though—the crack filler will cover them up!

Cut cauldron in half

Step 2. Prepare the painting panel with your chosen paint colors. I went for orange and purple to keep the item lighthearted and whimsical, but it’s entirely up to you!

painting the backdrop

Step 3. Adhere the halved cauldron in place using hot glue. Since this is only temporary until the crack filler dries, don’t worry about putting too much glue.

Gluing the cut cauldron to the painted wood panel.

Step 4. First, follow the directions on the can of Great Stuff. It’s an easy task, but don’t fill the cauldron too high, or you’ll end up with a mess (like in the pictures below!). Instead, only fill it to the top of the rim and then press down on the eyeballs. The foam will expand over time so give it about 24 hours before checking back again.

Filling the cauldron with the crack filler

Step 5. Separate the shoes from the sign and glue expanding foam onto the handle. Again, don’t worry if it’s not stable because the foam will expand and secure the feet. Take the “Witch Is In” sign and glue it to the bottom of the plaque.

Adding the feet

That’s all there is to it! Attach a hanger to the back of your piece once the foam has dried. No one will realize that you only used a few dollar store items to create this amusing “Witch Is in” Halloween décor!

Dollar Tree is the perfect place to find affordable Halloween decorations. This tutorial will show you how to make a fun “The Witch Is In” sign using materials from Dollar Tree. Check out this project if you’re looking for an easy and inexpensive way to add some holiday spirit!

Summertime Memories

Even though our temps are often in the tripple digits, I love spending time outdoors in the summer. So many great memories of BBQs and picnics with friends and family! 

One of my favorite memories is from a swimming party we had a few years ago with visiting family. We all enjoyed grilled hot dogs and hamburgers (plant-based, of course!), played games, and watched a projected movie outside. It was such a fun night!

This year, I’m excited to add a touch of fun to my summer gatherings with this free “Let’s Chill & Grill” BBQ SVG file I designed in Adobe Illustrator. This file is perfect for creating invitations, decorations, and even t-shirts for your next party. So fire up the grill and get ready to have some fun!

Memories of summer around a pool

As a child, summer always meant swimming in the pool. Whether at a friend’s house or the community pool, I always loved spending time in the water. Even now, summer time always brings back memories of swimming in the pool with my friends and family.

The best part was always going on those giant inflatable rafts and floating around in the water. It was always so much fun! And, of course, no pool day was complete without some delicious summer snacks. Watermelon always tasted extra sweet when eaten by the pool.

Now that I’m an adult, summertime still brings back all those nostalgic memories of childhood pool days. But now, I can add a new summer memory: making creative family t-shirts with my Cricut machine! You can, of course, use a Silhouette cutting machine for this file as well. I’m just partial to my Cricut!

It’s so easy to do, and it’s a great way to show off your personality. Plus, it’s the perfect summer project to keep you busy when you need a break from the heat. So if you’re looking for a fun summer project, check out our Pool Vibes SVG Free Files!

Quick & Easy Teacher Appreciation Gift To Make In Minutes! https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/quick-easy-teacher-appreciation-gift-to-make-in-minutes/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/quick-easy-teacher-appreciation-gift-to-make-in-minutes/#respond Tue, 03 May 2022 00:14:14 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=19879 Teachers are some of the most important people in our lives, and they often go above and beyond for their students. They deserve so much for all that they do! This easy teacher appreciation gift idea can be made in minutes and will put a smile on your favorite teacher’s face. It even works as an end of year teacher gift too!

All you need is the free Mega Smartie printable, some Mega Smarties, and a printer. Print out the printable, cut out the pieces, and assemble the gift following the tutorial below. It couldn’t be easier!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week is an event that is held annually in the United States during the first week of May. The purpose of Teacher Appreciation Week is to celebrate and honor the contributions of teachers to our society. Teachers are important role models and educators who play a vital role in our children’s lives.

There are many ways to show your appreciation for your favorite teacher during Teacher Appreciation Week. Some people choose to write a heartfelt letter or make a small DIY gift. Others may decide to do something more elaborate, such as throwing a party or organizing a classroom activity.

No matter how you choose to celebrate, remember that the most important thing is to let your teacher know how much you appreciate them!

What is the best teacher appreciation gift?

The best teacher gift ideas are the ones that come from the heart. It doesn’t have to be expensive or elaborate, but it should be something that your teacher will appreciate and remember.

Another factor to keep in mind: Does your teacher actually need the gift? Many teachers already have enough mugs, pencils, soaps, and school supplies. Instead of giving a material gift, consider giving your teacher an experience, such as tickets to a show or a gift certificate for a massage. A quick search on Pinterest will present tons of options for free printable gift tags that will work with almost any theme.

When in doubt…a gift card to a store or restaurant you know they like will always be appreciated. That’s why I created this Smarties free printable tag so that you could assemble it with or without a gift card section. My standard go-to are gift cards to Starbucks, Target, or Amazon but it’s best to always go with something you know your teacher likes. Remember: the best teacher appreciation gift ideas are the ones that allow them to get some of their favorite things!

Are you looking for a new printer?

If you’re in the market for a new printer, I highly recommend the Epson ET-8550. This printer is fantastic! It prints, copies, and scans. It also has built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet, so it’s easy to connect to your home or office network.

The Epson ET-8550 is the perfect printer for anyone who needs an all-in-one solution but wants a bit more quality than your standard home printer.

I’ve used so many printers and, honestly, this is the first one that has impressed me with its quality. Just look at the color richness and complete fill for the Smartie printable!

Two of my favorite features of the Epson ET-8550:

  • It prints on a wide variety of paper types and sizes! I love the 13″ x 19″ poster paper and the Velvet Fine Art paper (which I used for this project).
  • The Eco-Tank feature means you don’t have to purchase printer cartridges frequently. Just fill the tanks when they’re empty and continue printing!

I can’t imagine a better printer for anyone who needs to use their printer regularly. Whether you’re printing photos or brochures, this printer will not disappoint. So if you’re in the market for a new printer, I recommend checking out the Epson ET-8550!
