SVG Cut Files Archives - Tried & True Creative https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/crafts/svg-cut-files/ Time-Tested Tutorials Fri, 16 Dec 2022 11:58:23 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.0.3 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/cropped-favicon-32x32.png SVG Cut Files Archives - Tried & True Creative https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/crafts/svg-cut-files/ 32 32 How to Make a Happy New Year Free SVG Card https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/how-to-make-a-happy-new-year-free-svg-card/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/how-to-make-a-happy-new-year-free-svg-card/#respond Fri, 16 Dec 2022 11:58:22 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=20481 If you’re looking for a way to save money on your New Year’s cards, you can use a free SVG file to create them at home. 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!

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.

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:

“Life Is Good” Bicycle Lovers Tee https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/life-is-good-bicycle-lovers-tee/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/life-is-good-bicycle-lovers-tee/#comments Tue, 31 May 2022 01:43:40 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=11306 I tore a ligament in my ankle last year and after months and months of therapy and steroid shots, it still bubbles up like a balloon if I run more than 3 miles at a time. Total pain…literally! I’m not ready to give up on running quite yet but I’ve definitely had to incorporate more low-impact workouts into my routine which includes getting on the bike more often. I made this “Life Is Good” Bicycle Lovers Tee to remind me that life is, indeed, good!

World Bicycle Day History

June 3rd is World Bicycle Day! This global day celebrates the bicycle and its many benefits. The bicycle is a simple, sustainable, and affordable mode of transportation that can help to promote physical activity and reduce pollution. World Bicycle Day was first proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2018.

Each year, the day is celebrated with events and initiatives around the world that aim to promote the bicycle as a tool for sustainable development. So whether you’re an avid cyclist or simply someone who appreciates the many benefits of this humble machine, be sure to celebrate World Bicycle Day on June 3rd and every other day of the year!

Using the Bicycle Lovers Free SVG File

In honor of World Bicycle Day, we’re giving away a free “Life Is Good” SVG file! There are so many great ways to use the bicycle lovers’ free SVG file! Here are just a few ideas:

  • Create a custom t-shirt or sweatshirt design using the bicycle image.
  • Print out the image and use it as a stencil to paint a bicycle onto a canvas or piece of wood.
  • Cut out the bicycle shape and use it as a template to make a paper or fabric applique.
  • Download the SVG file and upload it to your cutting machine software to create a decal, sign, or iron-on transfer.
  • Use the bicycle image as a focal point on a scrapbook page or journal spread.
  • Add design to a mug for you or yourself!
  • Plus so many other crafts!

Whether you’re looking for a fun DIY project or just want to show your love for bicycling, the bicycle lovers’ free SVG file is a great way to do it!

I originally made this design a three-part Bike Love series (download the original posters here!), but it translated perfectly into a cutting machine file with a little help from Adobe Illustrator. I used Mirrored Gold Chrome Heat Transfer Vinyl from Expressions Vinyl because who doesn’t need a little glam in their life sometimes, right? I made the mistake of using just plain HTV settings and had to cut a few of the lines by hand. Highly suggest you use Expressions Vinyl’s recommended settings found here. Also, don’t forget to flip the image!

How to Cut Bicycle SVG File

Once you’ve downloaded the Bicycle SVG File, all you have to do is upload the SVG cut files to your digital cutting machine. I’m a huge fan of my Cricut Maker but you can also use a Silhouette cutting machine as well. You’ll need to upgrade to the DE version of Silhouette Studio to use this free svg file though.

Want a different file? If you have Adobe Illustrator you can save the SVG file as a eps, vector, png, dxf, or pretty much any other file you’d need!

I’d love to apply this Bicycle SVG file on a hat with Infusible Ink and the Hat Press! So adorable, right?!

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!

Super Easy Cardboard Basket Weaving https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/super-easy-cardboard-basket-weaving/ https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/super-easy-cardboard-basket-weaving/#comments Mon, 09 May 2022 16:40:00 +0000 https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=11412 We are smack in the middle of Spring Break so this week’s Super Easy Cardboard Basket Weaving tutorial could not be more perfectly planned! The idea is to make a project that will keep kids occupied for 15 minutes or less so that parents can jump in the shower or finish that much-needed morning cup of coffee. This Cardboard Basket Weaving tutorial is perfect because you can scale the template down to make a small bowl that can come together quickly or keep it large to take up even more time!

UPDATE 5/11/2022: I’ve gotten such an amazing response to this tutorial through the years! It brings me such joy to know that you all are enjoying making these baskets with your students, kids, and family. I’ve updated this tutorial to include multiple templates and versions. When you open the download file in the Creative Library, you’ll be able to choose which one you’d like to download and use. Jump immediately to the new updated tutorial!

If you’d rather watch a quick video on how to make the updated finished basket, just check out the video below!

Super Easy Cardboard Basket Weaving

Materials:

Step One. Use either a cutting machine (I love my Cricut Maker!) or a sharp pair of scissors to cut the Cardboard Basket Weaving template from thin cardboard. I suggest using Cricut Kraft board but a cereal box would work well too. Remember to scale the template down if you want a project that takes less than 15 minutes. Also, I’m not counting this step toward the 15-minute stopwatch since I usually just have a bunch of these stored away until needed.

Step Two. Use the Cardboard Basking Weaving file to cut a felt circle that will be glued to the inside of your basket. You can also glue one to the bottom if you’d like.

Step Three. Tie the yarn end to one of the cardboard spokes and begin to weave in and out each panel.

Step Four. Continue weaving until you’re ready to add another color. You can switch out the yarns by just tying one to the other and continuing weaving around bowl.

Step Five. Once you’ve made it to the top, wrap a good amount of yarn around the top of the basket and secure with a few clothespins. Depending on the age of your child, you might have to help him with this step.

Step Six. Begin working on the top by inserting a needle through the bottom until the loose yarn end is secure. Work the needle to the top and begin weaving around the edge, in and out of the circles at the top.

Updated Basket Template

Here’s another version of this cardboard woven basket. It requires even fewer supplies (no tapestry needle needed!):

  • Woven Basket Template 2 free printables
  • Sturdy Cardboard Bases
  • Weaving material (Skeins of yarn, fabric, raffia, ribbon, twine, or even paper strips)
  1. Use a Cricut machine or cut woven basket template 2 out by hand from cardboard.
  2. Fold all the extensions inward.
  3. Tie weaving material to one of the extensions and begin weaving in and out.
  4. Continue until the basket is completely covered.
  5. Cut excess yarn, leaving about 3 inches at the end. Wrap back through a few of the extensions to secure.
  6. Finish the basket by folding the top tabs in place.

Beautiful Baskets

And there you have it, an awesome little basket that your whole family can enjoy making! Depending on the size, these can either be made in a quick 15-minute session or longer if the basket is bigger. Either way, they’ll be super proud of their creation!
