First let me say, I love this site, you guys are awesome and creative!! I bought scal 2 as soon as I purchased my cricut when I saw how much the cricut cartridges are. You can go to google and images and type in what you are looking for ex dolphin svg files and get anything you want that way on top of all the free sites such as this one. I love my cricut and my scal 2, I must say I forgot I did purchase the design studio and found it about worthless since it just sits on my desktop now, because with scal 2 you can adjust things also. With design studio you can’t cut what you see as it asks for the cartridge and won’t allow you to cut it until you insert THAT cartridge if that is a help to any of you out there. A cricut and SCAL 2 is all you’ll ever need unless you emboss also then the low cost cuttlebug goes well with cricut.

Zipmix – I recently got a Cuttlebug even after having a Cricut Expression. I use it to emboss use my Nestabilities for quick cuts when making cards. I have maybe 5 dies and do plan to get more later, but Cricut can cut basically anything I want. I have downloaded at least a thousand (free)svg files and love using them. I own ONE cartridge and that’s the one that came with my Expression and you do have to have one cartridge in place in order for SCAL to function.

I started out with SCAL and upgraded to SCAL2 so you could say I’ve spent around $100 plus I have so many svg files, extra fonts and dingbats. You can’t beat that !!

SCAL sounds exciting, but for one who is computer illiterat, it sounds very confusing. I have been told by many many computer people not to download anything that is “free” because of viruses. I have had problems with this myself. I don’t even know what an SVG file is, can this be made more simple to understand and use?

Hi as well as cutting out any True Type font installed on your computer ( and there are ZILLIONS available for free download)you can cut shapes. Most of the files I offer here on my site are available in SVG format and cut on your Cricut used with SCAL. There are other free sites to download SVG files and you can also buy designs made to work with SCAL as well.

You can also use free software program, Inkscape to create your own shapes and save in SVG format to cut with SCAL on your Cricut.

I was just wondering I have heard a lot about “Sure Cuts A Lot” and it can cut so many different fonts but what about the shape cartiges. Cricut came out with a new one called “Life’s A Beach” will I be able to cut shapes out like that?
