Free Snowflake SVG Files

‘Tis the season for holiday crafts!

Here’s a fun little freebie for you—four snowflake SVG cut files. Use them to make a snowflake banner, decorate Christmas cards, or however you like.

As you may have noticed, I’ve been obsessed with using my new Cricut Joy lately, so the SVGs are sized so that two can fit on a small Cricut Joy mat, but the files can be used on any cutting machines that are compatible with SVGs and can be resized to suit your needs. The download also includes high resolution PNGs.

If you’re looking for more Cricut crafts, be sure to check out my Cricut Joy insert card holiday sets and more in my Etsy shop as well!

Enjoy!

November Updates and Holiday Stuff

ICYMI, here's what's been going on over on my Instagram lately...

2020-11-15-update.jpg

I had lots of fun celebrating Halloween with my girls. They dressed as Anna, Elsa, and Olaf from Frozen. They enjoyed surprises from the Great Pumpkin and a candy hunt out in the park.

Now it's November! How is time simultaneously moving so slow and so fast this year? Gotta love 2020... Of course, this month got started with the crazy election. I made my own digital sticker for my planner to mark the occasion.

I'm sure glad that part's all over with finally, and we can move on! Let's start focusing on the best parts of November—Thanksgiving, family, pie, and gratitude.

One of my favorite hymns, especially during Thanksgiving time, is “For the Beauty of the Earth.” I created a coloring page inspired by it. It's now available as a printable download here:

I've been finding time to do a little more digital scrapbooking. I even used my scrapbooking skills to create my annual Christmas card, using my own patterned papers and photos as well. The result definitely feels more personalized and heartfelt than my usual predesigned card from a photo printing site.

Speaking of Christmas, I am already well into holiday preparations! The snowstorm we got last weekend in UT certainly helped get me and my family in the mood to start the festivities. We've already put up our tree, and I've begun making some handmade ornaments, which has become a bit of a holiday tradition for me. I made a miniature door out of popsicle sticks and painted it to look like Elsa's door, again from Frozen. My girls just love all things to do with that movie, haha.

One last holiday-related note, I have lots of new products up in my Etsy shop, including some fun stuff for Christmas.

Check out what's new here.

That's it for now!

Free Downloads! - Digital Paper Samples

Besides releasing a coloring book, I’ve also been busy recently stocking up my Etsy shop with some fun digital goods. It’s taken me awhile to get in the groove and figure out what exactly I want to offer all of you.

As an artist, I often find myself in limbo between the physical, hands-on art stuff—pen, pencil, paint, crafts—and the digital world of iPads, vectors, fonts, screens, and software. Each side has different aspects that appeal to me as it pertains to creating art. As a result, my work has become a hybrid of physical and digital media.

I’m sure there a lot of you out there who feel similarly. You love to use technology, but also still like the look and quality of art created by hand.

My Etsy products have evolved to fill that space. My goal is to create a line of artfully designed digital goods that embody that handmade quality that I love. For example, some of my latest listings have been inspired by felt crafts, embroidery, paint marbling, and natural paper textures.

I’d love to offer you all a FREE sampling of some of my digital products from Etsy. Please enjoy these fun papers and a piece of floral clip art I’ve made recently for some of my sets. Click the link below to download the high resolution files from Google Drive. Print them out or use them in your digital layouts, whether for card-making, scrapbooking, or other paper crafts. And I’d love for you to visit my Etsy shop HERE as well, of course!

Enjoy!

Christmas Embroidery Clip Art - FREE Download

If you follow me on social media, you may have noticed that I’ve been hard at work developing my new Etsy shop. My vision for the shop is to provide a mix of artfully crafted handmade and digital items in the form of original art, patterned papers, clip art, and small crafts. It’s still at the beginning stages, and I have A LOT of ideas that I’m excited about—it’s just a matter of getting them done! It will be one of my main goals for the coming year.

Right now, I’m focusing my efforts on building up a stock of digital goods for designers and scrapbookers. Besides providing some of my pattern designs as digital paper sets, I’m also having a lot of fun using my crafting experience to create faux-handmade clip art. You may have noticed the digital felt flowers I just listed. My latest product is a set of digital holiday embroidery elements. As my Christmas gift to you, I’m providing these as a FREE download.

Click on the image below to access the zip file, which contains the 7 embroidery elements as png files and a bonus striped green textured paper used in the example graphics. (In the Google Docs screen, click on the download arrow in the upper right corner. File size is approximately 32.4 MB.) I hope you enjoy these, and if you’d take a moment to browse my Etsy shop as well, I’d greatly appreciate it. And stay tuned for more to come!

Sincerely, Nicole
