Just a quick and simple card - the svg will cut the white part, you will want to add a rectangle in Design Space (the blue part) to glue behind the cut out piece.
I'd also add a score line in the middle, just to make it easier to fold - although that's not necessary.
My husband asked if I could cut "pink triangles " to designate who ordered fish, for a dinner banquet tonight.
Nope. I can't cut pink triangles. Not when I can cut fish shapes instead! Lol! I prefer the larger, paler, version - but knowing how much stuff will be on the tables, I decided smaller & brighter would be more practical.
These were to go along with the perforated tickets I made for the same banquet -
They needed tickets that once purchased could be filled out with the meal choice - with one side of the ticket staying with the purchaser, and one being turned in for the meal count.
Here's how to make perforated tickets with Cricut:
Years back someone online was charging an outrageous amount for svgs that were simply the word "Believe" in fancy fonts. This was long before I had my own group or page, but I quickly made these svgs, using commercial use fonts, to show members of another group how easy it was to do this themselves - and that [at that time] buying the font was MUCH cheaper than the svg.
This year I'm working on a massive clear out of my stored files, and I came across these old svgs. I bundled them all together in one file that you can download at the bottom of this post.
These days, there are so many FREE commercial use fonts, you don't even have to buy a font!
You will, in most cases, need to learn how to use a character map, however, to add all of the extra swirls and extras, known as glyphs. Here's a step by step if you want to learn that.
Full disclosure - I did not actually make this. This afternoon I designed this to make a parade candy tote for my grandsons, but when my daughter in law picked the kids up, she told me she changed her plans.. so the kids won't be going to the parade with us. I guess could make this for my husband.. LOL!
There are two svgs. One is all in one, like the photo above. The second one I split, to make it easier to change the colors
First resize to something like 9 wide, so you can see better.
Then ungroup.
Then select everything on the right by dragging your cursor across - once it is all selected, change the color, then choose attach.
Once you have the red attached, and the blue attached, then move the blue over
Here's a quick video [no sound, no talking] showing all of the above:
In the video, I flip the svg horizontal. I do that with all of my htv projects, so that I do not have to remember to click the "mirror" button on the next screen.
I'm very likely to forget to mirror. But If I flip the design before I save it, then it's ready to be cut from htv.
Geocaching is a game - sort of a treasure hunt, but there is no real treasure other than the find. You download the app - geocaching.com - and then look for geocaches near you. Go find them, sign the log inside, and then log it online.
Some of the geocaches will be on guardrails and stop signs, or in a lamp post in a parking lot. NOT my idea of fun. Other caches are hikes in the woods, overlooks, beautiful and historical locations.. those I love. My husband is an avid geocacher - he not only wants to find them all, he builds caches and teaches others about geocaching.
Me? I go along for the fun stuff - the pretty hikes to overlooks, and historical spots. We've found so many cool sights we never would have found on our own, through geocaching.
I've made a LOT of geocaching shirts over the years. But this Geocaching is out there is his absolute favorite. He's always asking me to make him another one.
I've never been able to share the svg with you, because it's someone elses design that I adapted.
But today I realized I could share the link to the FREE design I started with, and just upload the svg that I added to adapt it. So you have to download from two different places, contour out the adventure and is, then add in the second svg and weld them together.
Weld, or combine, whichever you prefer - but you want to weld or combine so that the overlapping h in geocaching doesn't leave cut lines in the "swoosh"
Did you know that L.L. Bean made the first tote bags in the 1940s? "Beans Ice Carrier" was a tote designed to carry ice from your car to your ice chest - before most homes had electric refrigerators. In the 1960s they update their Ice Carrier to the "Boat and Tote", still available today, and still one of their best sellers.
This one is not in a zip file. It will open in google drive. To download, click on the down arrow at the top right of the screen.
This Transwonder Matte Black is my go to favorite HTV for tote Bags.
It's about $1 a sq foot [inexpensive!], goes on beautifully, and there's just something about matte vinyl on canvas that I think works especially well.
For My Favorite Tote Bag making supplies, a look at what I use all of these tote bags for, some of the designs I have used [including free svgs], and more, go to the tote bag index here:
Did you know the word ‘tote’ is a colloquial term that means ‘to carry a heavy load’? Quite ironic considering that nowadays the tote bag is often used to carry a few light things for day-to-day wear.
L.L.Bean is often credited with creating the first tote in Maine in 1944 when they launched "Beans Ice Carrier" - a sturdy, durable, water-resistant canvas bag. Designed to “carry ice from car to ice chest”. At the time, Maine was known for stocking a large quantity of premium ice. The majority of American households didn’t have refrigerators, so the bag was the solution for transporting ice from the car to the freezer.
Before long, people began using it for all kinds of other things, like groceries and other household chores.
In the 1960s, L.L.Bean renamed their popular bag "The Boat and Tote". They upgraded the design with some stylish elements, and the result is still one of their best sellers today.
In the 1980s, the New York Book Store the Strand pioneered the trend of tote bags for advertising. The first Strand tote was made with cotton duck canvas (more tightly woven than canvas) and an interior lining, and it boldly advertised the store’s name, address, phone number, and slogan.
I made these specifically for our local Lioness Lions club, while I was secretary. Now that I am no longer a member, some of the members were wondering how to make more of the items.
I'm certain Lions Club is copyrighted, none of these items should be made to sell.
But to make for yourselves, you should be completely fine.
Lioness Tote Bag
After uploading the svg, I deleted [contoured] the word "international"
Because it was too much of a pain to cut and weed at that size. In later versions, I deleted the "Lions" in that same circle, for the same reason.

Lioness Thank You Notes
The purple were the favorites, but remember that if you use purple, you will need to add white on the inside to write on. These did work nicely to print the thank you message on a white rectangle and glue it inside.

Lioness Christmas Card
This is the Thank You Note, Minus the Thank you, and with a few additions.
I did not include the text in the svg.
The font I used is Montepetrum, it's free on Dafont.
I changed the text to "Draw" and had cricut write the text using the pen.
