This is actually a request from Debbie from one the Cricut's forums. My first request!! I'm so excited! I did not know what a zipper card was before this, so I hope it cuts well. I have not made it yet so I'll be glad if you can share some pictures of your creations. Happy cutting!

Hello everyone! By now you know when I like something, I go all crazy and make a bunch of projects on the subject. I wanted to introduce this year's Halloween theme with a cute Pull Tab Dissolving Image Card. Do you want to know what the cute piggie turns into? Come and take a look This is what the finished card does. This is going to be a long post, because I want to go into detail on how to do this with your Cricut. It would be a lot easier to do it by hand maybe, but Cricut gives much cleaner cuts and the finished product is a lot more polished. I should be a Cricut spokesman, lol! USE CODE BAT-PIG DURING CHECKOUT TO GET 20% DISCOUNT ON THE FULL COLLECTION OF ANIMAL PARADE RELEASE. For this card I used the Petunia Stamp Set and the Scary Tale Acessories Stamp Set from OAK Tree Stamps' Animal Parade Release. There are three separate SVG files for this card: Artwork pieces Card Sleeve and Front Panel Artwork Frames and Pull Tab Let's start with the artwork, which is the trickiest part. After importing the file you will notice there are 6 layers. From top to bottom they are: Safe Zone: change this to a writing layer. Slits for both pieces. Number Two: this is your mark to pause your machine, don't worry, it'll all make sense later. Sliding artwork piece contour. Fixed artwork piece contour. Number One, This is to give you an idea to where the machine will go after your artwork contours are cut. You want everything to draw and cut on the same mat, so once you've changed your first layer to write, select the whole thing and attach it together. This is how the attached set looks on Design Space This ordered cutting concept is based on Kay Hall's post "Targeting your Explore cuts – hinge method" that explains how to layer your images to cut them in a specific sequence. In this case your machine will, in this order: Draw the safe zone Cut the number 1 Cut the fixed artwork contour Cut the number 2 Cut the slits And this is what YOU MUST DO in order to cut your contour, color your image and cut your slits on top using your Cricut: Draw the safe zone Cut the number 1 Cut the fixed artwork contour Cut the number 2 PAUSE YOUR MACHINE! (pressing the pause button). Leave it blinking, don't turn it off off and don't close your Design Space window either. Remove your artwork panels from the mat. LEAVE THE NEGATIVE SPACE ON THE MAT, it will help you re position the artwork panels later. Stamp and color the images going a little further out of the safe zone lines Place your artwork back on the mat. I used a bit of of masking tape to make sure the pieces didn't shift during cutting Press the GO button on your machine to cut the slits (sometimes you have to press twice). DO NOT UNLOAD YOUR MAT! leave it blinking until you are sure everything is alright. Use Masking tape to secure your cutouts to the mat. Don't worry if your artwork gets smudged outside the safe zone lines. And now that I see it, I should clean my mats, LOL! Now for the stamping part. The front fixed panel was designed entirely with the Petunia Set. I just stamped the character in the middle. Using a 0.5 COPIC Multiliner, Using a ruler, I drew a horizontal line to set the horizon and stamped a couple of corns on top and drew a couple of vertical lines underneath to make them look like corn plants. For the night scene I used the Petunia Stamp Set and the Scary Tale Stamp Set. Remember to place your images towards the left side, because the left edge of this safe zone will align with the left side of the sleeve's window on the finished card. I stamped the character and the fangs under the snout. Then drew the cape with a pencil (very simple lines) and finally stamped the moon and the bats masking the character with a Full adhesive post it to avoid overlapping the images. Using a 0.5 COPIC Multiliner, inked the cape and added some strings under the nose. I also drew a horizontal line to set the horizon. I like to keep my masks attached to the backing of my stamps to have them handy. I also keep my stamps on Avery Elle's Storage Pockets I colored everything using COPIC Markers in a very simple 2 or 3 tone shading. Day scene: Sky: B00-B2-B5 Grass: YG03-YG7-YG67 Petunia: R20-R22-R24 Night Scene: Sky: BV20-BV25-BV29 Grass: B97-B99 Petunia: R20-R22-R24. I added shadows using a V22 just to cast some purple. Bats and cloud: C00-C3-C5 Moon: W1-W3-W5 For the grass I used a colorless blender to add texture flicking the tip of the pen barely touching the surface of the paper. I also put some highlights using a Signo Uniball UM153 white gel pen. (my favorite white gel pen) Day Scene Night Scene Go a little outside the safe zone with your coloring just in case. Once you have colored your images and cut the slits on them you must "weave" them to allow for the night scene to overlap the day scene. Slits cut with the Cricut Explore Begin with the left most "leg" of the front panel and slide it under the left most slit of the slider panel Continue tucking the "legs" of the front panel under the slider panel slits Once you are done, you should have something like this. Train the legs and the slits until they slide smoothly. Let's put the card together now. I designed this file to be able to be cut off of a 8.5" x 11" piece of cardstock. This is almost a test on how well you know your machine. Both pieces of the slider frame and the sleeve can be cut from a single 8.5" x 11" piece of cardstock Separate the front and the sliding panel and glue the Artwork Frames to both sides of the Slider Artwork Piece. It is better to use a liquid glue to reinforce the cardstock. Stamp your sentiment on the Tab. I used the "Trick or Treat" sentiment from the Wickedly Cute Stamp Set from last year's Halloween Release using Versamark Ink and White Embossing Powder. The Pull word plus arrow is from the Embellishments Stamp Set From Penny Black and I used Onyx Black Versafine Ink for a crisp printing. Glue the Front Panel to the Sleeve and add any embellishments you want. Score and train the folds of your Sleeve. Place a strong double sided tape on the Front Artwork panel keeping the release liner on. Add double sided tape all around the safe zone. Keep the release liner. Place the sleeve flat on your working surface and add double sided tape to the gluing tabs, keeping the release liner on. Place your sliding panel inside the sleeve, aligning it to the left and making sure the pulling tab doesn't get caught on the gluing tabs of the sleeve. Put the Front Fixed panel on top and "weave" the "legs" with the slits. Remove the release liner on both, the sleeve gluing tabs and the fixed panel; hold everything in place and fold the front of the sleeve over and press firmly. Make sure to train the sliding mechanism so everything works. I added a bunch of embellishments form the Scary Tale Stamp Set Candy Corns, stamped using my Misti on the previously cut offset paths. I hope you like this card and give it a try. Enjoy!

Stephen is a die hard fan of Star Wars, so, for his birthday, I had to make him a card accordingly. My gift to him this year was, among other knick-knacks, two of Matthew Reinheart's Star Wars pop up books. In search of these, I came across his website and found this amazing DIY Darth Vader pop up card and I immediately decided it was perfect for giving his books as a present. The design is entirely Metthew Reinhart's and I do not take credit for it, I just turned it into an SVG to make it Cricut friendly. I encourage you to go to his web page and check out the other amazing DIY projects he has there for free or even more, buy his books, they are amazing!!! Now to the project itself. The front of the card is Neenah Metallic Finish Cardstock in Excalibur Steel color with scattered stars cutouts. The backing is a Mirrored Sheet by Tim Holtz, a very reflective thin kind of cardstock. As you all know, I like to work the back panels to make them protrude through the cutouts, using my Cuttlebug. To achieve this, use the following sandwich (from bottom to top): A plate B plate Neenah Cardstock facing down Tim Holtz Cardstock facing down Embossing Mat B plate. This will push the back cardstock through the cutouts to the same level as the front panel. You can completely ignore this step, I just think it looks a lot cleaner. The wording and the number are Star Jedi Font in case you want different numbers. I used two offset paths in yellow and orange to make them look like the letters were lit (I guess I'm the only one that sees that, LOL). I popped them up with some mounting foam tape. This whole panel was raised using fun foam. This is a trick from Jenniffer McGuire and it keeps the panel flat. I used a blue color fun foam cut a bit smaller than the front panel and adhered it with double sided tape (ATG gun) The inside of the card, and yes I said it already, but I will say it again, is Matthew Reinhart's pop up design. I printed the sentiment of the base layer on my laser printer and foiled it using Gold Deco Foil on my very inexpensive laminator. I tried all kinds of paper but Neenah Exact Index 110 lb cardstock was the one that held the toner the best, giving me crisp sharp letters and stars. For Vader, I used my white Signo gel pen on my Adjustable pen holder From Chomas Creations to draw the outlines. Pilot Choose and Sakura Gelly Rool are also good choices. I then added accents by hand to make it appear shiny. I also used a Sakura Black Glaze pen to add even more shine. I put some Mod Podge on the eyes of the mask to make them more dimensional. Using a gel pen I drew some accents and painted the chest control panel buttons and then added Mod Podge for shine and dimension also. The card folds beautifully and it takes only a few minutes to make. Visit Matthew Reinhart's web site for instructions on how to put it together. Don't forget to comment and subscribe! Instructions: You will get 2 separate SVGs and one PDF file Front Panel (with stars and opening credits) cut and assemble Vader Character: Change the first layer to score (blue lines) Change the second layer to write and use a color other than white (these are the glueing guides and you won't see them)(red lines) Change the third layer to write and do this in white Attach all layer to the black base layer Cut and assemble Inside panel: a PDF file to print and then cut using a paper trimmer or scissors. (too big for print then cut, also you get a better resolution printing from a PDF file) Print, cut , foil and assemble Enjoy!

Illusions and tattoos were destined to go hand-in-hand. Optical illusion tattoos are pieces of art that do as the name says — mess with the eyes. Though at first, it might seem like a simple work of ink on the skin, in reality, tattoos like these are some of the most creative things ever. A brilliant optical illusion tattoo is clever in its deception.
