These updates were originally completed to fix a sizing issue due to Desktop Design Space software update in March 2021. When we update each file, we do our best to improve the design and in some cases record a video assembly to replace an older written assembly.
Regardless of whether you use Cricut, these updates benefit everybody.
If you purchased a file prior to 2021, I would highly recommend that you download the most current version of the SVG File from Your Account. If you have any trouble, Contact us.
IOS iPad/iPhone Design Space users: Sizing issues have been an issue with our files since 2019. Cricut support was notified. Please reference the following video if are experiencing sizing issues with the IOS app.

The complete file contains all the individual SVG files so you can easily upload or import one single file versus several. The single SVG files are still included for those that may still need them, such as ScanNCut users. Once you unzip the file, look for the Complete File folder within SVG Files folder. Within the folder, there are 2 versions of the complete file, one with dashed scorelines and one with solid scorelines. The solid scorelines are for machines or software that have scoring tools and options, like the Cricut machines.
In 2021, we started updating older SVG files to include the complete file. As of February 2023, there are less than 20 files without complete files. If you file does not contain a complete file, it could have been updated. See Updated Files for Cricut Design Space Users for more information and the most current list of updated files with Complete files.

Today, I decided to do something a little different. We used the Bonus Basic Sticky Notepad Holder from the Decorative Sticky Notepads SVG File to make this Camping Sticky Notepad holder with a Camping Trailer on it. I could have easily used any of the notepad designs from this set…the only difference is the front of the holder. For most of our designs, it is simple to modify the designs to customize it to a specific theme. Often, you are looking for a gift and cannot find a completed project that fits your needs. This is when it is helpful to utilize some of your software’s tools to get it done. For this project, I used Cricut Design Space 3.
Here is the completed holder with a 3″ x 3″ notepad. I love these holders, as they are so easy to customize and make. AND they are a great gift for anyone that works in an office. You can make them any theme.
Watch this video that shows how I combined our SVG file with a Cricut camping trailer image within Cricut Design Space 3 to create the final project.
I pieced together the trailer from Campin’ Critters Cricut image set.
Then folded front of the holder as shown, folding the little front piece of the holder up. Prior to assembly, I added the trailer and panel sections.
Then added the back piece of the holder to stand it up. Basically, this completes the holder. I also added a pre-printed die cut “Happy Camper” sentiment that I had on hand in my craft room.
