How To Make The Reindeer Ornament Holders

 
How to make the reindeer Ornament, or Candy Holders, from the Grafik-Teka free file

This site has incredible projects with FREE files.

But the site is in Spanish, many of the files are studio format, and it's incredibly rare that any of them have any instructions.  So not great for newbies, but for those who are comfortable with the process, it's a treasure trove!  

Shower Ring Marcrame Gnome Santa

 

It seems wrong to call this "macrame", since you really are just tying 10  knots.   Or, more accurately, one knot, 10 times.  But that's what Pinterest appears to be calling this project, so who am I to contradict?  :-)

Thanksgiving Themed Books

 
Making my reading list for this fall - and I love to read seasonally.

Frequently I'll try new mystery series with a seasonal theme, and sometimes I end  up loving them so much that I add the entire series to my to read list.  I try to find something educational each season too.  I have not read all of these, these are just what I found to put on my fall reading list this year, leading up to Thanksgiving.

Change Default Folder View in Windows 11

Every time windows 11 updates, it changes my default folder view, using "grouping", and changing my view to lists, on every folder.

This is not how I prefer to view my files.  I do not want them grouped.  And I want to view large icons.  

Fortunately, you can change the default view on all folders at once, pretty quickly.


First open a folder and set it up the way you want your default view to look.
For me, that means going to sort/group and selecting "none"

Then under view, I choose large icons.



Then I click on the three dots to the right, and choose options.  A box pops up.  In that box choose the view tab.  Then choose "apply to folders".

That's it - now that setting has been applied as the default for all of your folders.

How to Use Contour & Slice To Create You Own Shaped Card Inserts

  

This bundle was a daily freebie from Creative Fabrica - Free 11/9 Only

If you downloaded this bundle while it was free, you will find it only came with the white parts as svg.  Those background colors?  They are not included.  [Not that I would evey pay $30 for this bundle, but if I did, I'd be REALLY annoyed...  but that's the great thing about these daily freebies, we find which designers create products that work best for our style of crafting. ]  For those of us who downloaded this, or similar designs, here's how to create your own solid backgrounds, in those shapes.  It's not that hard, I promise.  :-)

Tips For Sorting SVG Multi Bundles

 

While I LOVE all these massive free bundles from Creative Fabrica - dealing with the files once they are downloaded can be a bit overwhelming. Her are some tips for saving your files, and finding them later, without having too much of an overwhelming mess.

===================
Note - My long alphabetical list of sites with free svgs has been flagged as spam and removed by blogger.  :-(  I don't know if I will be able to recover it, or come up with a better option for posting it, so for now I'm attempting to split the list into smaller lists, and see if Blogger will allow that.








The Combine Menu In Design Space


The "Combine" Menu was added to Design Space in October of 2022

At that time, the  weld button changed to a "Combine" button, with a new variety of options.

When The Rename Option is Hidden In Design Space

What To Do When The  Rename A Layer Option Is Missing From Design Space

Renaming layers is especially helpful in this new version, as we no longer see the operation beside the item name.  

For instance, it no longer tells us, in the layers panel, if an item will cut, draw, or score.  So renaming  the layer can be helpful. 

 I can also add the material in the layer name.  For example, when making the floating acetate ornaments, I can name a layer "PC Acetate" to remind me that it is Print Then Cut, out of Acetate material.  

When using Windows 11, I find that the "rename" option, all the way at the top of the right click menu, did not always appear. 

 It depends on where I place my cursor when I right click. 

 If I place my cursor at the top of the group name box and right click, I will see the items at the top of the menu - and rename is the very top item. 

 If I place my cursor at the bottom of the group name box and right click, I will see the bottom of the right click menu, and the rename option will not be visible, since it is at the very top.
