I create cardmaking kits and designer resource sets and make them available as cheaply as I can over on my CraftsÜprint page.

You can follow my public Facebook page here, where I always announce my newest sets as they become available.

You can also follow my Pinterest Board to keep up with all my sets as they go live.

And, you can also follow my Facebook profile page to see all my creations.
I hope you get the opportunity to check out my current collection and stop by regularly to see what's new. I try to create something for each upcoming cardmaking event. There's a varied range already available and I'll be working on something new in the very near future.

Of course, we can't forget the awesome Dr. Digi!

You can find Dr. Digi's Facebook page HERE

You can see Dr. Digi's YouTube channel HERE

Dr. Digi now has a great range of SVG files!
Dr. Digi says...
"SVGs are a file that's designed to be used with either a traditional cutting machine, some of you
maybe familiar with them, silhouette, Circuit, etc. These basically use a small blade to follow the SVG and cut out the shape. As it uses a blade it's mostly restricted to cutting paper, card and vinyl. Stencil files are designed mostly for this, to create background designs and patterns for cards.
More recently laser cutters have become more affordable and have been used by crafters. They can cut much thicker material, as well as etch, allowing projects with MDF, Perspex, glass, even stone.
Our decal files are designed mostly for this, have a look at some of the brilliantly diverse examples
the design team came up with on our facebook page."

I'd like to add that the SVG files can also be converted to a photo format, using free software like Canva, to use in traditional cardmaking. I don't own a cutting machine but that never stops me using these files in everyday cardmaking.

Dr. Digi and myself have generously supplied these images and sets for this challenge.



Here's a closer look at the inspiration from our amazing Design Team, using Dr. Digi images and some kits, from my
Anne Constantly-Carding craftsÜprint page.


And, finally, for my inspiration
I've used my brand new set, the Sweet Little Surprise Baby Girl Card Kit. Y
ou can find the complete kit at a discounted price over on my site.
Just remember, there's no minimum spend on my site so it's easy to just grab just the one kit and start crafting immediately!
 
We can't wait to see all your creations and we wish you all the best of luck in our challenge. We'll be back at the end of the month to announce our multitude of winners!

Don't forget, every entrant is welcome to take our participation badge to add to your blogs and your Facebook pages.

You can enter your projects by clicking the link at the bottom of this post, just above the coments.
Remember, you must link back to this challenge to be eligible for a prize!
Good luck to you all!

If at any time the Linky Tool doesn't appear for you, or isnt working, please use this form to add your entry privately. I will transfer the information provided to add your entry at my earliest possible convenience.
