Freebie Friday! 06/24/2011

Hi Friends!

This week's freebie is this cantankerous little tike. I named her Bitty Betty. She looks like she's just not yet ready to behave, doesn't she? You'll get the Print & Cut version, the Digi-Stamp version, and the Cuttable SVG version. What's the difference? Well, there is more helpful info below.

If you use the cuttable SVG file for paper piecing, here is a short :45 second musical animation demonstrating the piecing process. Watch it here!

Freebie Friday! 06/18/2011

Having just returned from Florida, today is "Freebie Saturday"! I had a fantastic visit. The wedding was beautiful and we had gorgeous weather the whole time. Here I am with some of my family posing with last week's freebie, the Lime Martini. (Did you miss it? Click the link to take you to the shop!)

I hope you had some fun with it yourself. Did you create anything? Ana from Scraphappy Ana Creations made this adorable card! Click the link to visit her blog!

This week's freebie is a pair of kissable lips! You'll get the Print & Cut version, the Digi-Stamp version, and the Cuttable SVG version.

PLUS... this week you'll also receive the Digi-Patch version! "Digi-Patches" are digital designs that look just like embroidered patches similar to the patches (or badges) you'd see on Girl/Boy Scout uniforms and trendy cool jeans. Now you can make your scrapbooks "cool and trendy" too! Whether your scapbooking is digital or hybrid, these digi-patches will look great on your pages! They download as high resolution PNG files with transparent backgrounds.

Here is a close-up of the artwork so you can see the realistic details!

If you use the cuttable SVG file for paper piecing, here is a short :26 second musical animation demonstrating the piecing process. Watch it here!

Hi Friends!

This week's freebie is early because I'm heading to Florida tomorrow for my cousin's wedding. I'm so excited for my vacation that I decided to offer this summer-time thirst quencher (and mind eraser), the Lime Martini! This week you'll get all three versions! The Cuttable SVG file for cutting & paper piecing, the Digi-Stamp file for coloring, and the Print & Cut file for the quick crafting project. I hope you'll use it and show me what you create!

These paper crafts were made using my "Elephant" cuttable SVG, available here.

"Cuttable SVGs" are SVG files layered specifically for use in cutting machine software to cut the illustration's shapes out of paper. Then, by layering the shapes, you add dimension to your paper crafts.

Hello Friends!

So, last week I introduced my first Cutable SVG file and I got some great feedback. I've made some adjustments to this week's freebie, some sassy slingback heels, to make cutting and piecing the artwork together much easier.

Here's another short :46 second musical animation demonstrating the piecing process. You'll notice how the bows are separate from the shoes. That is so you have the option to add dimension to the bows by adhering a foam tab to the back of those pieces. Watch it here!




For those cutting, you'll get the SVG file of these cute shoes. And, for those coloring, you'll get a digi-stamp version of the shoes which is a BW (black & white) PNG file!

When you download this file it will be accompanied by a "Read Me" text file with all of the copyright information. In short, please don't share and please credit me, Andy Bauer at The Digi Street, with a link back to my shop or my blog.

The Slingback "Print & Cut" file (which is already colored for you) is available at my shop.

Hello Friends!

I'm SUPER excited this week because I'm introducing "Cutable SVGs" plus my first Video Tutorial. If you use a cutting machine, then I would LOVE your feedback on this freebie and the new & improved SVG file.

I have to mention that this week's freebie is an adorable elephant, suggested by my 8-year old niece, Adeline.

"Cutable SVGs" are my artwork in SVG file format! Yes, I have been offering SVG files in the past, but recently I learned how to layer them specifically for using cutting machines. Below are three examples of the ENDLESS creative possibilities using this cute cutable.

The cutting maching software I use (and prefer) is Make-The-Cut. Below is a screenshot of the elephant SVG file inside the software. You can see the artwork is layered and broken apart. In the download, I've also included the Make-The-Cut file for MTC users.

Notice how the foot is separate. That is so you have the option to add dimension to the front foot by adhering a foam tab to the back of that piece. I've put together this short :46 second musical animation to demonstrate how this polka dotted elephant was created! It explains why the foot isn't attached. Watch it... it's cute!



To get this freebie, sign up for the The Digi Street Newsletter here and you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to download the files.

When you download this file it will be accompanied by a "Read Me" text file with all of the copyright information. In short, please don't share and please credit me, Andy Bauer at The Digi Street, with a link back to my shop or my blog.

Both the Elephant "Print & Cut" file and the Elephant "Digi-Stamp" file are available at my shop.

Again, your feedback would be greatly appreciated so I can continue to provide my art in innovative, yet convenient ways.

Please be sure to send me photos or blog links of your creations using The Digi Street art!

Have a fun & safe Memorial Day weekend!
