Make The Cut

Make The Cut! : $79.95 (USD)
Make The Cut! allows users to cut virtually any shape you can imagine including TrueType Fonts using your Cricut™ machine without needing to purchase cartridges. With its easy-to-learn interface, you can unleash the true power of your Cricut™!

I have both MTC and Surecutsalot 2 and I love them both….I must say that I was impressed with the MTC software. I like some of the features with this software, and yet I also still love my SCAL2 program…but either way you are a winner, because both of these programs open up your possibilities to cut more with your Cricut! Freeing you from buying expensive cartridges. You be the judge, both softwares allow for a free trial download click here for MTC or here for SCAL2. Give them a try and then you can choose. Just think the cost for this software, it will replace purchasing 2 cartridges or one new release. If you have any questions, you can always email me at dimahi@hotmail.com and I will do my best to help you decide which program is best for you…Let me add this one thing, Make the Cut, or otherwise know as MTC has just updated their software to backup your Cricut cartridges…now how cool is this, you can now back up a cartridge and maybe sell or rent it out and recoup your purchase price for this software….hmmm just a thought.

Enjoy!

Dining Chair

I think this chair would look adorable with a Magnolia or Alota Stamps on it…What a cute card this would make…I think I will make one and post it later. Enjoy!

Simple Layered Butterfly

Well it has finally happened again…I am down with a dreaded head cold, but it hasn’t stopped me from working on my site and getting you some more files to cut with your Cricut. Today I have a simple butterfly, but oh, I think this is like the most versatile butterfly ever! Just imagine what colors you could use for your background on this butterfly or what bling you could add to it! It also could be cut with the Cricut stamping kit and then you could stamp it on your cards or create a butterfly background paper…oh my mind is truly going off….so as usual, Enjoy!

Umbrella

So tonight we are getting heavy rains and high winds…the tv is off the air and so it has given me time to create some more files for all of you…I figured it would be appropriate to make an Umbrella, although with all the wind out there, I don’t think one would be able to hold onto an Umbrella. I hope you can use this, Enjoy!

083 Umbrella  $ 1.00

Loop Border

So I was playing around and created this 12 inch loop border…well it’s 12 inches if you use your 12 x 24 inch mat and stretch it just a smidgen :) I’m including just the loops in case you want to make it larger or smaller or create a square frame or rectangular frame…I think their is a Martha Stewart punch that may look something like this…not sure…but I think I’ve seen something close to this design. Enjoy!

Yet another flourish

I am really starting to like these little embellishments! You can do so much with them….they can sit on the corner of your photo mats, or stretch them the length or width of your page…they can be cut from patterned paper, cardstock, vinyl or even chipboard. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy

078 Flourish $1.00

Party Balloons

I love these balloons…I’m thinking of using them with some chipboard, and also cutting some faces out for the center of the balloons, or I may cut it out of glitter paper. I don’t know…many ideas running through my head. Enjoy!

075 Party Balloons $1.00

Champagne Glasses

So this would be a wonderful cutout for your wedding pages, or New Years pages, or move them together and make a card, or put them on a card…or use them as a photo mat, or how about this wild idea, place them on your mat, and cut your photo out in the shape of wine glasses! Ok…maybe not, but just use your imagination and you can come up with something I’m sure.

056 Champagne Glasses $1.00

Rectangular Tag

Surecutsalot 2/SCAL

http://scrapitcmh.blogspot.com  Here is the link to our class scrapbooking layouts. I must say I have a very talented group of ladies, and they always make their pages their way…I very seldom have anyone make my layout, but it’s ok, cause we have a lot of fun…couldn’t ask for a nicer group of ladies.

Recently, I started an online scrapbooking class, where we do these layouts, we use Design Studio, SCAL or Make the Cut, the new software that is out there, definitely in the running with SCAL. So far, I have to say that SCAL is my favorite software, some say there is a learning curve to it, but I find it very easy to use and love how my cuts turn out. So you will have to be the judge. In the next few days I will post a link so you can get your trial version of the Make the Cut software so you can see for yourself which one you like best.

On to the file of the day…..Here is a nice rectangular tag…it may seem simple, but this again can be used to put someone's name in it, or weld two together and make a card, or stretch it for a bookmarker…so many ways to use this one cut…makes a great journaling mat. Oh and if you are really good at your cuts, you could very easily use this to cut out your picture in this shape and lay it on top of the mat.

So as usual, Enjoy!

055 Rectangular tag, $.75

If you own a Cricut, here is an excellent software that allows you to cut any True Type font with your machine, as well as many cliparts can now be traced within the program turning them into an svg format, this feature alone makes getting SCAL2 worth it as you will never need to purchase any carts.
There are thousands of files out there for you to download for free or for a small fee that you can cut with your Cricut. I must say I use this software for almost every layout I have done when using my Cricut. I actually use it more than cartridges....don't tell Provo :)

Batty

Here is an adorable little bat, just in time for you Halloween layouts...I hope you like him...be sure to delete the text and the bat below the text when you cut him out...on the left is where you would place your white piece of paper and on the right side, place your black piece of paper. If you want to make multiple cuts, add a page and select the item to cut and copy/paste it into your new page, don't forget to save your work...may I suggest to do a "save as" so you don't lose your original file and original size.

Enjoy
