Cutting Machine Magic: Illustrator and Inkscape for Cricut Maker Owners
Everything you need to know to design your own SVG Cut Files for your cutting machine.
Cutting Machine Magic is an eight-week online course that will show you how to master the relevant skills to really get the most out of your Cricut Maker. Not only will you learn how to take control of the essential skills in Illustrator or Inkscape - you'll get inspiration on how to create cards and products for every occasion, as well all of the know-how on how to make them. If you can visualise it - you can make it!
This is no dry design course though - you'll be creating your own designs from Module One!
Get the most out of your Maker and let your creativity soar!
Your Instructor
I’m Natalie and I make my living crafting and designing.
I’ve made everything from crocheted royals for the BBC homepage to huge mascot heads for marathon runners: but the discovery of the Cricut Maker has transformed how I do everything!
I soon realised that to get the most out of the machine, I would have to master Design Space and make my own files. Luckily, my background in Illustrator meant that I could do this and if I could visualise something, I could make it.
Though we don't all have the same skill sets, a bit of knowledge is all it takes to empower our creativity. So let's get started!
