Cricuit Cartridges....you don't need those anymore!

Are you addicted to your Cricut but hate lugging around all those cartridges?! Cricut is coming out with a new device called the Gypsy that is basically a flash drive that stores your cartridges. Here's the kicker...once you load a cartridge onto the Gypsy the serial number of the Gypsy is "linked" to that Cartridge which means you can't upload it to a different Gypsy. What else does that mean? That means you can't sell that cartridge to anyone who wants to use it on a Gypsy!

So what is a girl (or guy) to do? Check out the Sure Cuts ALot Software. The software allows you to use your Cricut to cut True Type fonts and graphics in .sgv format. You can download thousands of fonts and have them at your fingertips! The software was just updated to version 2.0 in late July and it allows you to "see" where on the mat your item will cut.

Expand your Cricut Cutting Capability!

Sure Cuts A Lot Software from Craft Edge works with your Cricut Personal or Expression cutter to allow you to cut using the True Type fonts installed on your computer or from one of the thousands of fonts downloaded for FREE! You can also use it to cut dingbats and SVG files or Scalable Vector Graphics . Sure Cuts A Lot also allows you to weld words or change the style of the font to shadow, blackout, shadow blackout or mixed. It works with your Cricut machine as long as it has a cartridge in it. Additionally, the interface looks like your cutting pad, so you can move items on the interface to where they would be on your cutting mat and it is what you see is what you cut! Best of all, this software works on Windows and MAC! They have a free trial version if you want to give it a "test drive!" You may need to update your firmware on your Cricut, but I found that was easy to do.

Check it out!

Here are two examples of Titles that I cut out using the Sure Cuts A Lot Software:
