Some changes on the Lettering Delights site

Some of you had mentioned that you are confused with the way the cutting files are offered on the Lettering Delights website. Previously, LD only had SVGs as the only cutting format so it was easy to figure out which was a cut file. They all had the SVG logo. With the recent release of the Cut Its, it became a little confusing because these new sets had the same SVG logo even though they included many other file formats like AI, EPS, DXF, and GSD. 

Well, Lettering Delights has given the Cut Its their own logo so that it is now easy to pick out which sets include the multiple file formats and which ones are just SVGs only.

 

Lettering Delights has also added a new "cut its" pull-down tab on their site.  You can now bring up the specific types of cut files quickly. For example, if you want to see the Cut Its only, just bring your cursor over the "cut its" tab, then move your cursor down and select "cut its sets".

You can check out the new tab and logos on the Lettering Delights site by clicking here. While you're there, don't forget to pick up the new Leaping Lizards Cut Its set. It's super cute and a fantastic set for celebrating a boy's birthday. Click on the image below to get yours now.

A Whole Latte Love

Card-making is super easy with the Lettering Delights Simple Shapes. For today's card, I used a stamp and Lettering Delights' Coffee or Tea SVG (Cut Its) to make this super quick card.

The coffee cup was cut using Make-the-Cut and my Silhouette SD. I cut out the coffee cup sleeve on kraft paper and stamped the sentiment on it. I adhered the "sleeve" with foam tape and drew in the stitched lines with a gel pen and attached the whole thing to the card base with more foam tape.

Super quick and easy but totally fun! ;-)

New cutters that support SVGs!

What a difference a week made! I'm back from my Southern California vacation and am catching up on all the exciting news about the cutters that are being released. It's CHA week in IL, and the buzz is on the new Silhouette Cameo. It cuts 12" wide! Ya-hooooooo!!!  If you had followed my recently-concluded series where I reviewed 3 electronic cutters, you will know that my dream cutter is a Silhouette that cuts 12" wide and with a force that can cut chipboard. At this time, I have not seen any videos that shows the machine cutting and I have not heard if it can cut any media thicker than paper. Nevertheless, I am still really excited that Silhouette America has responded to our requests to come out with a cutter that cuts wider than the Silhouette SD. The word out on the streets is that the Silhouette Cameo will retail at $299 and a proprietary software that will support SVGs will be sold separately for $59.

Even more exciting, is the news that MTC has partnered with KnK to come out with the Zing cutter. This machine will retail at $399 and it cuts 14" wide and has a cutting force that will cut thin chipboard! You can read more about the Zing by clicking here.

The Sizzix eclips has also announced that they have partnered with Sure Cuts A Lot so that the cutter is also compatible with the software. 

With the release of these new cutters that support SVGs, I think that it is just wonderful that we now have a wider selection of machines that enables us to create beyond the boundaries of cartridges. I can't wait until the machines are ready and out on the market so that we can find out even more about them.
