The Apple Basket Template: Perfect for Back to School!

I hate to brag, but MY kids don’t start school until September! That means we get one more month of fun, family time. This is good, since summer has come really late to Oregon this year. It’s sunny right now. It was cloudy yesterday. It was cold last week. Definitely not summer weather!
However, even though I am relishing this time at home with my kids, I know that very soon we will be in the throws of back-to-school preparation. That’s why I am SO glad to have my gift for …

The Cupcake Shaped Box Template: Refrosted!

I am often asked which papercraft template is my most popular template I have ever created. Without a doubt, it is my Cupcake Shaped Box. I first released it as part of a fundraiser in May 2009, and I gave it away to all registered participants. After that, I released it for sale in my store at The Digichick and it started selling like hotcakes! I have had many requests to convert it to cutting files for digital die cut machines.
I’m happy to announce that NOT ONLY have I converted …

I admit that I am completely in love with Pinterest. I could go on and on explaining what Pinterest is, but it’s been done. Instead, let me sum up: It is like a giant online cork board that you can pin great articles, cool pictures and fabulous ideas to without having to tear a page out of a magazine. When you see something that you like online, you “Pin it” to your Pinterest Style Board so you can come back to it again or share it with a friend. So …

Easter Egg Basket!

I have another wonderful papercraft template for you to play with this Easter season!
The Easter Egg Shaped Basket Template Set and Cutting Files is now available as a set or just the cutting files. Take your pick! I updated the files a bit, made the lines less noticeable, and, of course, added the cutting files.

I created my little sample by printing digital paper from the Destination April Kit by Kellie Mize (a paper GENIUS!) onto double sided matte photo paper (Epson, of course!). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this kit! So …
