Hello Crafty ones, As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of Die
cuts, I love the versatility of the Sizzix and Spellbinder dies, that
coupled with the embossing folders and embossing plates. That gives
virtually unlimited amount of things to make, and if your anything at
all like me, I keep a notepad by the computer or I use a great free
program called Evernote to record all of the ideas I have seen and want
to try. I also was a huge fan of the Cricut, but since money and greed
became the company motto I like thousands of others have given up on the
Provo company and all there other outlets in the craft industry. I
worked diligently to be among the top cricut crafters, and was on a few
of the DT's.SO I was a huge promoter, then came the law suits and more
greed and well I no longer support them or give them my hard earned
money. With all of that going on I needed to find a way to continue my
Scrapping business without using those products. And I did, I first off
re-discovered my love for Sizzix, Spellbinders, and CherryLynn, and so
happy for that. You do not need those expensive machines and cartridges
to create beautiful projects. Really you do not need that company to
create anything but a smaller balance in the pocket book. And I am going
to show you how.
I will admit, I do get curious about the goings
on over on the cricut message boards, and every once and again I do
check it out. Only to find yet more people defending the crappy customer
service, the incomlete or inadequate machine releases, and so many
unhappy customers,lies, and more lies, promises that never come and all
this with a hefty price tag and yet you can find tons of people ready
and willing to console those un-happy customers and they continue
supporting the non-sense over there. I am happy to be free of that ring.
They biggest complaint was with a cricut and the MTC software you could
download thousands of free files from the net and cut them with your
machine, which is why I purchased minr, it opened up a whole new world
for all of us. PC caight wind of that and instead of embracing the
situation and working with the developers they decided to take them
down, and have their version of files and designing. I have been in the
cricut create room and compared to the MTC or SCAL program it truly does
suck.IMO.
Anywho, I can hook you up with links on this info if
you so wish to find out more, and want to look for a machine that truly
supports all the software out there. Its funny how the makers of even
Sizzix a die based company jumped on the correct band wagon and are
giving up machines to work with the free files, and the amazing
software. Thats truly a leader in business who cares about ustomers and
wants to keep them with great products, not a company who wants to
corner the market and keep everyone in the dark and penniless. In a few
short months of not purchasing cricut items I was able to save enough to
but my dream machine for almost $1.000.00 as well as put my dies back
into use.
So I am going to be doing projects scrapping, stamping,
altered arts, mixed media and even home decor using nothing but dies and
free files found on the web.
A
beautiful flourish and a silhouette which is from a TTF font, which is
free to use and works amazingly well on the MTC software. Such beautiful
cuts.
If
you are looking for places that have free files be sure to click the
correct tab on the top of the blog there are some wonderful resources
there for free files, tutorials and a ton of other info.
Butterflies and birds we all love to use these.. Also free, for the bird log into Paulo's blog. the butterfly is from scrapmag.
And what tag junkie, or art doll lover has enough torso tags???
Open
your mind to the possibility of no limitations and huge cartridge
prices, when the world of free is available to you. You can contact me
for questions or help of any kind.
