It has been a few months since my last freebie release. I was super excited when I got this idea and had to create it right away. I created a small notecard with a pocket design. There is a top layer that you can glue on to create and actual pocket. This is great for making table decor as place settings or name tags.
I have many ideas to go with this pocket and look forward to creating more of these sweet projects. I’m hoping to work with this cutfile more in the future! Until then, if you want to see how I created this table decor project you can check out that process video.
Now if you want to see how to use these cutfiles in Cricut or Silhouette, please check this out. These tutorials assume you know basic features and functions of your software and gives you specific tips on using and adjust the various layers of this cutfile to produce a final cut.
I’ve been trying to offer freebies to you every month from sketches to cut files to printable papers & embellishments. Well… my energy fell away over the summer and I have not been able to get anything new out. However, I am here to release a couple of items for the Christmas season.
Sketch
First up I have a lovely holiday sketch for you
This one definitely takes the holiday seriously. However, if you don’t celebrate Christmas, OR if you want more flexibility for this sketch, turn it sideways! Once it is sideways it looks like an arrow which can be used for many stories. Take a look at the two ways I put it to use.
If you want more thought process on how I put these layouts together, I have a video for you.
If you’d like to download this one, here are the links. If you want more sketchy fun, check out my entire back catalog of sketches.
I love learning, creating and sharing. That is why I offer freebies up to you each month. I have both a layout sketch (in printable pdf as well as editable photoshop) and an electronic cut file (in svg) for your electronic die cut machines.
Here is some further exciting news… new for 2023 are PRINTABLES.!! You can print them at home, cut apart the embellishments and use them to create your projects. This month I was inspired by the upcoming Mother’s Day holiday here in the US. You can see all the details in my reveal video, or read on for the short version.
I’m very happy to report that I have the August freebie files ready. After being so late with July, I thought August would never make it. However, I’ve put in extra hours to get things done and I can now present to you this latest release called New Adventures.
I’ve combined the idea of small trips with back to school through the key word of adventure! You can see this collections is full of icons and word art that can work for both travel and the new school year. I hope you enjoy this two-for-one collection as much as I do.

Sketch
Once upon a time I started my freebie creation life by offering sketches. And I continue to offer them to this day, so let’s start here. This sketch features ticket embellishments to capture those special events from concerts to school plays!
If you are a cut file lover, I’ve got you covered! My video covers any details for this file and any tips and tricks I have to share. Be sure to get all the info by watching above. This one has lots of layering options for building fun tickets. You can frame out your layout or build up individual tickets for embellishing.
These files come to you in an 8.5×11 inch format for easy at-home printing. Keep in mind that monitor/screen colors and printed colors will NOT be the same! Screen colors often appear more vibrant. Colors even vary from printer to printer!
The pattern papers are ready to print and use. Embellishments will either need to be fussy cut, or you can use the print-then-cut version for your electronic die cut machine*. I try to keep the fussy cutting to simple shapes and basic circle elements can be punched out with a 1″ circle punch or die. Any cutting tips beyond these will be in the current video reveal!
The download links have been included besides each image. However, you can always head over to my Freebies Page to peruse the catalog of files I have offered in the past. And if you have any ideas I’d love to hear them. I can’t make promises but I can take suggestions!
* Note, not all software can use the print-then-cut svg file. I have included a native Silhouette Studio file to avoid some current Silhouette software issues.

My apologies for posting these freebies from June here now in mid August. The process for this month was riddled with complications from my own lack of skills to accomplish certain things, to software oddities that I just couldn’t problem solve. Yet, with all of the slow downs, here we are with a new set of Freebies. Whew. I am glad to get this out to you finally! I hope you enjoy them.
I have also simplified my upload process by combining each category into a single downloadable folder. You’ll have several file types to choose from, so you’ll need to know which will work for you. If you have any questions on this, please reach out to me in the Contact tab!
Now if you want all the info in one place, please do watch the video. Otherwise, all the images and downloads are listed below.

Here is a closer look at the sketch. I created a layout with this sketch as part of a secondary video for another group. I’ve linked you up in the description if you want to check it out! You can see a photo gallery of that project at the bottom of this post as well.

For iNSD this year I am releasing a full collection kit! I’m very excited to share this complete 8.5×11 digital and printable scrapbooking kit called Fly High.
Since I am most excited about this printable collection, let’s start here. These files come to you in an 8.5×11 inch format for easy at-home printingโor use them digitally. Keep in mind that monitor/screen colors and printed colors will NOT be the same! Screen colors often appear more vibrant. Colors even vary from printer to printer!
The pattern papers are ready to print and use. Embellishments will either need to be fussy cut, or use the print-then-cut version for your electronic die cut machine. The file names help you know which is which. Fussy cut files will have the work “fussy” in the name! I try to keep the fussy cutting to simple shapes. Plus, any circle elements can be punched out with a 1″ circle punch or die. Any cutting tips beyond these will be in the current video reveal!
If you are a cut file lover, I’ve got you covered too! My video covers any details for this file and any tips and tricks I have to share. Be sure to get all the info by watching above. This month I have a few items to compliment the paper line.
As the printables took me a long time to create, I have not created the sketch yet. It will be coming by the end of the week. And perhaps even a layout video featuring the Fly High collection, so stay tuned. ๐

If you need any tips on cutting this apart my original post talks a little about those plans to simplify how much cutting you need to do. Any tips beyond that will be in the current video reveal!
This time around I have pattern paper to go along with the embellishments. The paper comes in the horizontal and vertical orientations to make it more flexible for your crafting. I do have new tutorials up on my YouTube channel on how to use the embellishment .png file in electronic die cutting software so that you don’t have to fussy cut. You can find the Cricut tutorial or the Silhouette tutorial. Since those are the only machines I know how to use I can’t offer help with other brands. But many machines have options if you search on YouTube.

I’m starting off January very simply, but I have bigger plans moving forward so I hope you’ll stick with me. Be sure to watch the video to get the tips on how I will be setting up these files to make ease of use for you a priority.

I love learning, creating and sharing. That is why I offer freebies up to you each month. I have both a layout sketch (in printable pdf as well as editable psd) and an electronic cut file (in svg). This month I was inspired by a photo I took out my kitchen window of a lovely fall tree.
You can see all the details in my reveal video, or read on for the short version.
Here is a closer look at the sketch and the project I created based on this sketch. This one is in 8.5×11 size format.
If you don’t do 8.5×11 sizes, I also have the 12×12 expanded version of the sketch for you. Notice it is pretty simple with the base 8.5×11 added to a 12×12 and then extra embellishments included with that.
So that large title block I designed specifically to fit my cut file for this month.
While I did cut that title at a small(ish) size, it is designed to fit a full 12×112 layout if you want to go large with it.
