My first experience with cutting machines was waaaaayyyyy back in the day with a cricut machine and those blasted cartridges! Man, oh man, did I buy lots of cartridges, not to use, but to have for when I eventually needed them (which was pretty much never…please tell me I’m not alone.)  Along came software that made it so you could design your own cutting files to use in the machine - which opened a whole new world to this graphic designing, create a cute custom paper background to print, and hand draw templates on the back to cut by hand girl!!  I then moved on to silhouette machines and creating cut files to use with any and every kind of media, from packaging for glassware, party favor boxes, cash envelopes, tags for crochet items and all SVG files for all kinds of crafts!  We’ve come a LONG way, baby! And I’m here for it!!
