I have been searching and playing with the "outlaw" software programs to step up my Cricut. I have read all the messages and reviews that I could find. I have tried Sure Cuts Alot (up until recently the only game in town if you did not want to use Cricut cartridges) but honestly until now it was just tooo much work for me to go outside of my Design Studio. The program was there but soooo clumsy (in my opinion) and I could do almost (yes almost) everything I wanted in Design Studio. And I am not a super risky dare devil kind of girl. So... I was content to follow the Provo Craft rules..that is until NOW. I am going rogue here and telling you ... I am ready to break the rules because Make the Cut is that cool! Now before you follow me to the dark side I have to tell you the possible risks.... using this software makes Provo Craft mad...really mad ... and they will void your warranty on your Cricut. I am not certain how the software can hurt your Cricut, how Provo Craft will know you violated your Cricut, how much longer your warranty is on your Cricut... but I just feel that I must let you know that this is breaking the Provo Craft rules...if that matters to you.
Why is this so cool? It let's you cut fonts and images that you have on your computer...no cartridges needed! I am offering my first class on Make the Cut software and the Cricut in FEBRUARY! Try the freedownload and see what you think: Make the Cut Trial The free trial lets you design all you want ...it will cut with a wonky water mark that kind of messes up your design but try before you buy is always a good idea. You can take the class with the trial version and see what you think...after you are in love you can purchase the full version of Make the Cut .. Just in time for Valentines Day cards ... Mothers Day and Graduation ideas! The 5 week class will feature many projects and all the basics from loading your software and making sure your Cricut can "talk" to your computer. Well...many of you might be thinking why do I need your class? There are tutorials and free videos and lots of free ideas. Why should I pay for a class? Yup there are. But...more than just a bunch of tutorials, I will hold your hand and answer your questions while we explore this powerful software add on to your Cricut. Some of my students have said that taking classes like mine have made the process so much easier and they actually are able to take advantage of the free stuff that is out there because they have a strong basic knowledge of their Cricut and the software like Design Studio and now Make the Cut.
Hugs, Cara
