The Cricut has zero idea it will be taking cut commands via your system rather than a cartridge.

What do I like about Sure Cuts A Lot?

  • No Cartridges!! That's one of the most important things followed by being able to manipulate the layout in almost any way you choose! Amazing! This program helps you do designs in layers or "pages" to help you to view precisely what your card or layout will look like prior to making them.
  • Sure Cuts Alot also cuts any design, picture, clipart, or shape you need. The same as Design Studio along with the Cricut cartridges , you can cut typefaces and pictures with SCAL - the exception with SCAL is that you can cut any sort of typeface and any kind of graphic that you would like, you aren't limited to those things Cricut chooses to release in a cartridge.
  • You will discover fonts on the net that you can download and install that look comparable to the Cricut cartridge fonts (and probably totally free), and each typeface can be welded within Sure Cuts A Lot. Given that the Cricut cartridge fonts will be copyrighted, it's extremely unlikely that you can find that specific font anywhere else, however you will find tons of fonts on the net, and i also guarantee you will discover some that appear to be comparable to what's on one of the cartridges.
  • Furthermore, it will allow for building a mat backdrop completely around a different element. Also, while using the fantastic pens from cri-kits, it is possible to format your pattern and draw certain parts and after that cut the others. It does not get much better than this!
  • Welding text letters together, creating customized shadows around all sorts of things, making your own personal style and design to cut out from a picture conveniently inside the software is all icing on the cake.
  • For those who own a cricut machine they really should purchase this software package. The Cri-Kits gel pens are strongly recommended as well since they add a completely new dimension to your crafting and Cri-Kits also sell individual line fonts which Sure Cuts Alot is able to use to draw the letter in one line!

What's missing from the package?

I do wish that the software would have included an instruction booklet, nonetheless everything you need to know can be found easily via the internet, therefore it is not that big of a problem. I have found a number of really nice cost-free dingbats simply by performing a search for totally free svg files via the internet. This is actually the easiest way to go when you aren't trying to spend a ton of your cash.
