Learn the magic of designing for yourself!
Crafters who own cutting machines, such as a Cricut or Silhouette, often believe they have to rely on other creationists and memberships to provide design files for their crafting needs.
But what if you didn't have to rely on others?! What if you could learn the freedom of designing for yourself? You have your OWN ideas and visions that you want to bring to life - take control!
Ever wonder...
Are you tired of...
I used to be just like you! When I got my cutting machine (a Cricut) and learned about needing the SVG format for my crafts, I quickly realized I wanted full control over my designs.
I ventured to ask how hard is it to make my own SVG cut files? Of course, I started researching and fell into the endless pit of YouTube videos (cue Beethoven's 5th dramatic music).
Sure, YouTube has its purpose, but trying to learn a skill like SVG creation can be overwhelming when you have to weed through the videos yourself.
Here's where I got stuck with YouTube:
That is why I made this program, FREE the SVG - for crafters who want the roadmap to design for themselves!
I don’t want you to throw away money on SVG files that don't completely fit your unique creative style or feel like your hands are tied with cookie-cutter designs. And I don’t want you to feel overwhelmed and frustrated in the learning process.
Do you struggle to find exactly what you envision and customize projects with images personal to you?
Are you frustrated with paying subscription fees for images and still not finding exactly what you wanted every time?
Trying to finish a project but give up because you couldn't create it exactly as you wanted?
I was determined to make my own SVG craft files. I knew if I could figure it out for myself that I could one day teach others the same skill!
Once I learned to work from the beginner steps, learned the Inkscape tools, and worked my way up to project designs and image conversions, I was unstoppable. In fact, I haven't paid for an SVG file in years!
The result?
Collectively my SVG designs have been downloaded over 1 MILLION times, and I have built an entire business around sharing and selling SVGs!
I'll be honest; I took the long way around. I made lots of mistakes and became very frustrated during the process. The great news is YOU DON'T HAVE TO! I've built this course for someone just like I was way back when, to cut through the red tape and the endless YouTube searches, so you can jump right into creating SVG files!
#1. You're missing out on personalization
You don't know how to customize a project with images that are special to you - family photos, favorite characters, etc.
#2. You're wasting time and money
You're stuck paying for every single SVG file or paying monthly subscriptions.
#3. You lose out on time you should be crafting
Finding your SVG files by other designers (especially free ones) is a time suck and you wish you could just create them for yourself.
