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!


Not sure which Cricut machine you should buy?

Cricut Maker Vs. Cricut Explore: Everything You Need To Know!

  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!

Free File Fridays: Crafty Calendar 2018 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/free-file-fridays-crafty-calendar-2018/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/free-file-fridays-crafty-calendar-2018/#respond Mon, 08 Jan 2018 15:06:11 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=13996 I’ve been running Tried & True for the last 9 years and I’m just so grateful for all the creative opportunities it has given me. Sure, there are monetary benefits as well (yay for piano lessons and vacations!) but it’s the creative outlet I tap into daily that truly impacts my everyday life. On the days when the world, my kids, and/or my husband are driving me crazy I can always fall back on losing myself in a new project to get me through the insanity. I made this Crafty Calendar 2018 for Free File Friday to celebrate some of my favorite creative outlets and thought you all would enjoy it too!

This post contains affiliate links for your convenience and to assist in the maintenance of this site.

My inspiration to make this calendar began when I saw this awesome Crafts Icon Pack on Creative Market. If you’ve never been over there, I highly suggest visiting! There are so many amazing graphics, photographs, and fonts that your little creative heart just might explode.

Now that I had the artwork for my Crafty Calendar, I briefly considered designing the actual calendar section but then Baby Emilia started teething (Oh the drool!) and well, turns out Creative Market has calendar layouts too (this is the one I used). I had to edit it quite a bit to make it match the look of the graphics but I totally love how it came out!

Printing out this calendar is super easy. Just print the pages on standard 8.5 x 11 cardstock and follow the light blue crop marks to trim off excess paper. I laid out the calendar so that it could be printed on both sides of 3 pieces of paper (January has February on the back, March has April, and so on) but you’re more than welcome to just print on the front if you’d like. Just keep in mind that you may have to print each page one at a time if you’re doing front/back. Or maybe not if you’ve got a fancy printer!

{Print out the Crafty Calendar 2018!}

(free for personal use only)

Once printed and cut, you can choose however you’d like to display the calendar! I just so happened to have this handy little clip board I bought a few years ago in the Target dollar section that totally matched. Another option would be to punch some holes into the side and add this cute calendar to a journal or scrapbook. Or use an clear acrylic picture stand to turn it into a desktop calendar for your craft room. So many options!

I hope 2018 affords you plenty of time to get your craft on and that this little Crafty Calendar 2018 brings you joy every time you look at it. Thank you so much for joining me on this crafty adventure!

Join me every week as I share a new printable for your enjoyment on Free File Fridays! It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while to help me stay on a schedule so don’t forget to stop by. Hope you guys enjoy the files as much as I enjoy making them!

Easy Neighbor Gift for New Years https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/easy-neighbor-gift-for-new-years/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/easy-neighbor-gift-for-new-years/#comments Sat, 19 Dec 2015 21:57:23 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=11061

Super easy Neighbor Gift for New Years! Includes free printable gift tag!I’m a huge fan of giving our neighbors New Year’s gifts. Partly because, regardless of religious preference, everyone celebrates the new year. Although, if I’m being honest, another large reason is that I’m the worst procrastinator ever and usually run out of time to give them a holiday gift! Whatever the reason, I’m totally planning on gifting these awesome bags of Pop Works & Company popcorn with my handy dandy Easy Neighbor Gift for New Years gift tag!

Easy Neighbor Gift for New Years - Pop Works & CompanyA Unique and Novel Twist

Have you guys heard about Pop Works & Company?! They have  a line of ready-to-eat popcorn providing hosts and gift givers with a unique and novel twist to a traditional party favorite. Pop Works & Company sells exclusively online and you can either choose one of three flavors (Cookies & Cream, Salted Caramel & Fudge, and Birthday Cake) or “Build a Box” by mixing and matching all three flavors!

Pop Works & Company is offering an introductory price of $15.99 on its Pop Box, a colorful and versatile box which can be filled with the 3 different popcorn flavors. They’re also offering free 2-Day shipping through New Year’s Eve!

Easy Neighbor Gift for New Years - Free Printable Easy Neighbor Gift for New Years - RibbonFree Printable Tag

Once you have your bags of popcorn, all you need to do is print and cut the free Easy Neighbor Gift for New Years gift tag I made especially to work with Pop Works & Company bags. I added little slits in the tags to insert ribbon strips before stapling to the top of the bag. FYI: Your printable tags will have a blank space in the back so that you can write a small message and sign. Forgot to put it on mine! After the label is attached to the bag just hang on your neighbor’s door to wish them a Happy New Year!

Easy Neighbor Gift for New Years - HangHappy New Year

This time of year is so crazy hectic, I’m lucky if I remember to buy a gift for my husband! Thank goodness I have a few bags from Pop Works & Company to gift our neighbors this year. They’re definitely special people to deal with the craziness that emits from our house! Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!
