Hiyah!
This is a bit of a heads up to what's been going on around here as I know my site has been very quiet lately but it will get back to normal, promise ;)
It has been a hectic time lately in the birdhouse (ha ha couldn't resist) and will be for the next week too but after that I will have lots of time for crafting. I have designed some cut files on the computer but my craft area (yep, I have a craft area with a folding table and not a craft room which probably explains alot about my sporadic posting, right?) isn't set up at the moment and I haven't been able to test them on the craftrobo/silhouette but as soon as I do I'll pop them up for you, I have done some more tags and borders as they are things I tend to use alot myself but as always if there are things you would like to see just shout and I'll see what I can do. I have also been doing more of those medallion type frames too in ovals this time though and I want to test them out too, to see if they match the spellbinders oval dies also I have had a couple of digi stamp requests so I will do my best to get onto those too.
So I do have some important family matters just at the moment but I'll be back at it in no time.
Bird :)

Good Morning :)
I have a new cut file for you today, I know I am just one of a great many people who adore Spellbinders ribbon tags especially their fancy tags and wanted to try to make something along the same kind of lines. My first couple have a celtic knot feel to them but I think they could go with any theme and can be stuck directly onto your project (as I have here with glue dots) or you can thread ribbon through the ends. I hope you like it :)
I've gone all Orange for todays card which is a colour I don't ordinarily go for but as I'm still trying to use more colour in my cardmaking I thought it would be a good choice although I tried my best not to go too wacky with this one ;) I used a Sugar Nellie stamp of a girl making daisy chains and coloured with prisma pencils and oms then cut it out with a circle die and matted it with cream card. My top layer is made up of more of the same cream card, the loopy border cut file and some orange daisy Dovecraft patterned paper which matched the image rather well. The lower layer is cream card and some red/orange texture effect paper from Anitas. I added some bright orange ribbon and tied a bow then coloured a Prima flower with markers to match the colour scheme and popped on top of the bow. Lastly I cut my celtic tag, stamped my sentiment and attached with glue dots.

hey hey!
yup, I'm still alive. Things have been a bit mad around here, lots going on and not feeling great hasn't left alot of time for crafting/creating but I have a few bits for you today. I have some bedroom digis to add to the furniture section and a loopy border cut file to match the loopy frame I popped up last time.
Ok, I don't quite know what I was thinking when I chose the lime green and purple colour scheme, only that I wanted to do something a bit more colourful. I may have succeeded with creating a more colourful card but I question my taste level on this one, lol. I coloured my image with markers and pencils and added some paper piecing and used more of the same paper on the layer behind the image. I trimmed the layer with the loopy border from the cut file in black and added some black twill ribbon attached with square snaps above a purple layer.
Here are your digis, I've added the bedroom scene too for ease of use

Myrna kindly let me know that my original SVG wasn't working for her so I've spent a couple of hours doing everything, with my limited knowledge of Illustrator, I could to tidy the file up. I cleaned up the design then joined all of the paths, then grouped, then compounded it. I have changed the name of the files from 'loopy square' to 'loopy frame' so you will know which the new one is :)
I really hope this works for you all now, I have tested it on my CraftRobo so the GSD files should be fine but it would be great to hear about the others and get them right to start with before I upload any more that might not work for you.

Ginger let me know that some cutters can use AI (Abode Illustrator) files so I have popped todays Loopy Square up and it would be great to hear how you get on with it :)
Another heads up that I've added a pdf section to the cut file downloads, hopefully that will enable more of you to use the files in your cutting machines. Thanks again Helene :)
