Hello! I was wondering what company you use for your sticker sheets? I bough one from your Ko-Fi shop and really like the quality, and the pricing you were able to sell at is waaaaaay more reasonable compared to any of the companies I've seen and used myself. Is it a POD company, or a mass purchase of them to sell on your own?

Thank you for your time if you're able to respond!

I'm really glad you like the quality, because I actually make them by hand at home! (Please forgive the lighting, my bedroom is my office lmao.)

I don't use a company (and Idk what a POD company is sorry!) but making them at home gives a lot more freedom of stock, just be wary it can be very time consuming depending on how many you need to make.

I've had other people ask before, so here's a rundown of how I make my stickers at home: At most you'll need:

Printer

Sticker paper (this is the type that I use)

Laminator and lamination paper (the lamination paper that I use.) You can also use adhesive non-heat lamination paper if you don't have a laminator, gives you the same result, just be careful of bubbles. You will get double your worth out of a pack because we are splitting the pouches to cover two sticker sheets.

Your choice of a sticker cutting machine or just using scissors.

First, I use Cricut's software to print out the sticker sheet with the guidelines around the corners so the machine can read it. If you do NOT have a Cricut machine, open up your art program, make a canvas of 2550x3300 and fill it up with your sticker design with some cutting space between them. This the 8.5x11 size for the sticker page.

I usually have bleed selected so the cut comes out cleaner. Tip for non-Cricut users below: Increase the border around your sticker design to fake the 'bleed' effect for a cleaner cut.

These are the print settings I use for my printer. I use the 'use system dialogue' to make sure I can adjust the settings otherwise it prints out low quality by default. Make sure if you're using the above paper that you have 'matte' selected, and 'best quality' selected, these aren't usually selected by default.

So you have your sticker sheet printed! Next is the lamination part. I use a hot laminator that was gifted to me, but there is no-heat types of lamination you can peel and stick on yourself if that's not an option.

(This is for protection and makes the colors pop, but if you prefer your stickers matte, you can skip to the cutting process.)

Important for Cricut users or those planning to get a Cricut: You're going to cut the lamination page to cover the stickers while also not covering the guidelines in the corners. First, take your lamination page and lay it over the sheet, take marker/pen and mark were the edges of your stickers are, and cut off the excess:

(I save the scrap to use for smaller stickers or bonuses later on)

After you've cut out your lamination rectangle, separate the two layers and lay one down on your sticker sheet over your stickers with matte side down, shiny side up. (Save the other sheet for another sticker page)

The gloss of the lamination will prevent the machine from reading the guidelines, so be careful not to lay it over them. It also helps to cut the corners afterwards to prevent accidentally interfering with the guidelines.

Now put that bad boy in the laminator! (Or self seal if you are using non-heat adhesive lamination)

Congrats! You now have a laminated page full of stickers.

For non-cricut/folks cutting them out by hand: this is the part where you start going ham on the page with scisscors. Have fun~

Cutting machine: I put the page on a cutting mat and keep it aligned in the corner, and feed it into the machine. For laminated pages I go between 'cardstock' and 'poster board' so that it cuts all the way through without any issues, but for non-laminated pages or thinner pages, I stick for 'vinyl' and 'light card stock'. Kinda test around.

Now I smash that go button:

You have a sticker now!

The pros of making stickers at home is that you save some cost, and you have more control of your stock and how soon you can make new designs. (I can't really afford to factory produce my stickers anyway)

However, this can be a very time consuming, tedious process especially if you have to make a lot of them. There is also a LOT chance for some errors (misprints, miscuts, lamination bubbles, ect) that will leave you with B-grade or otherwise not-so-perfect or damaged stickers. (Little note, if you have page mess up in printing and can't be fed into the cricut machine, you can still laminate it and cut it out by hand too.)

I have to do a lot of sticker cutting by hand, so if you don't have a cricut don't stress too much about it. I have an entire drawer filled to the top of miscuts/misprints. I keep them because I don't want to be wasteful, so maybe one day they'll find another home. Sucks for my hand though.

But yeah! This is how I make my stickers at home! Hope this is helpful to anyone curious

this is the one. the most popular fic in the harry potter fandom. the fic that got me into fanfiction. the fic that i sobbed to for months after reading it.

i tried to bind this three separate times over the last two years and bro the first two sucked ASS. it was legit the very first fic i tried to typeset which is like, not the greatest thing to start off with LMAO. it looked funky, i hadn’t fixed any of the spacing, my footers didn’t match the text font or size. it was very much a baby binding.

the second one was my first time using a cricut and there is a very steep learning curve w the cricut, especially in creating designs that aren’t too complex or too plain. i tried to copy one of the popular printable book jackets and omg i spent weeks modifying my designs and printing and reprinting on my cricut and it looked like trash when i was done.

so finally, we have come to this.

i got really into quartos during the winter and was like omg the editing process for this would be so much more manageable if i broke it down into years! so then i did lol. it allowed me to customize each chapter into sections so i could add the chapter title to the footers, and break down graphics into separate years so i didn’t have 100 pages in one canva file. it was just a lot easier to feel accomplished having broken it down bc this fic is a MONSTER.

every chapter heading is the same - just the swirl. i gilded all the chapter titles using toner reactive foil and my laminator (she broke in the middle of this project. i ended up having to buy another laminator, and about 3 packs of foil from icraft. this is my most expensive fic binding to date🫠). i included the songs ms.kingbean put at the top of every chapter, and the bootleg tapes and christmas special.

i am seriously so proud of how this turned out, and can’t believe it’s actually done. sorry this is super long, but this really was a labor of love. they’re not perfect, i’m still really bad at measuring and cutting straight lines, but i’m satisfied. really satisfied.

My First Fanbind! A Black Sails Fic Anthology Series

It took me a year (and a lot of anxious research) before I worked up the courage to bookbind fanfiction, and after months of on-again-off-again work, my first fanbind is finally done!

I knew that if I was going to bookbind fic, I had to bind something from the Black Sails fandom, aka the fandom and show that have had the biggest impact on my life. Y'all, I almost went into academia to study slavery in the 17th-18th century Caribbean because of this show - when folks say this show rewires your brain chemistry, they are NOT kidding. THEE show of all time. Happy 10th anniversary to Black Sails! This fandom is small but mighty. May we continue to get our hearts and souls blasted to smithereens by this show for many years to come.

Ao3 abounds with magnificent Black Sails oneshots, so I decided to put together an anthology of my favorite Silverflint fics under 20k, which I split into two volumes. Included are works by @justlikeeddie, @vowel-in-thug, @balloonstand, @annevbonny, @francisthegreat, @nysscientia, and more! Thank you, thank you all, you brilliant wonderful people, for gracing the Internet with such amazing writing. When I read the fics in these anthologies I want to fling myself into the sun.

More on the design and binding process below the cut!

Vol. 1 Page Count: 270 (12 fics) Vol. 2 Page Count: 248 (11 fics) Body Font: Sabon Next LT (10.5 pt) Title Font: Goudy Old Style Other Fonts: IM Fell English, pirates pw

The typeset (which I did in Word) took a while, mainly because I'd never done it before. Manually adjusting the hyphenation line-by-line was especially tedious. After making these books, I abandoned Word in favor of InDesign, in large part because InDesign gives you way finer control over your justification and hyphenation settings.

Regarding my actual design choices, I'm happy with how the ocean motif on the title page turned out (it's not the same pattern as my endpapers, but they're complimentary) and I'm very fond of my divider dingbats, which are little swords! Goudy Old Style was a fun title font to use, since it's the font that Black Sails uses as its logo. The stories in Vol. 1 are divided into parts based on what Silver WAS at that point in the show (cook, quartermaster, or king), and Vol. 2 is split up into comedies, histories (AUs set in the canon universe) and tragedies - befitting Black Sails' Shakespearean ~vibes~.

I stuck to a flatback binding, as I wasn't feeling quite ambitious enough to try rounding and/or backing. I've learned that I ~Anakin Skywalker voice~ hate sanding, enjoy folding/sewing, and don't LIKE edge trimming but enjoy the results enough to make it worth it.

The real adventure was decorating the cover, which remained bare for months. After agonizing over Illustrator and experimenting unsuccessfully with HTV and lokta paper embossing, I ultimately turned to using stencil vinyl to paint on the designs. There was a bit of seepage under some of the stencils, but I was able to scrape off the excess with my Cricut weeding tool without damaging the coated surface of the bookcloth (probably Arrestox Blue Ribbon from Hollander's). Even though it was very time-consuming, I'm so happy with the end result of the stenciled paint job and I intend to stick with stencils for my foreseeable future binds.

Are there things I would change? Sure. It was humid out when I printed, so the pages have got a wave. There’s an extra two pages in Vol 2. that I have no idea how I missed, and I got a line of glue in the middle of one of my Vol. 2 endpapers. I’m pretty sure I didn’t case in quite right, since my endpapers pull away from the case at the spine. I think the inner margins are a bit too big, and despite going line-by-line there’s still some wacky justification spacing in the typeset. But man, am I proud of these books! It is so satisfying to learn a new skill - MANY new skills, if we’re being honest - and to make something both beautiful and practical. If I’m still binding in two years or so, I can see myself redoing the typeset in InDesign, cutting out the existing text block, and reusing the cases. I’m also already planning for Vol. 3, which will be Silverflint Modern AUs.

Thanks for reading!

Finished binding @that-banhus's fantastic King of Infinite Space today! You ever get into a pairing fresh out of binging a series and read a fic that just solidifies the characters in your head? Like, they go from "funny lil guy I enjoyed watching on TV" to someone who could be real, someone you could know. That was this fic for me--banhus's Hob is such a delight to read, so vibrant and funny and optimistic. And of course Dream's voice in this is just *chef's kiss* pitch perfect.

Some process chatter, under the cut! <3

SIZE

So this was my first go at a quarto size on legal paper (8.5" x 14"), and I LOVE it. This size is perfect for that 10k-15k range, and with the community imposer designed by the lovely folks at @renegadepublishing (thank you, @simply-sithel and Cocoa!), it was such a breeze to figure out the formatting. (Printing, on the other hand, was a bit of a mess since my printer doesn't do duplex for legal sizes, but I figured it out in the end. And hey, I got a bunch of waste sheets out of it! XD)

BINDING

I did a variation of the paperback format I've seen floating around in the Renegade discord (@ashmouthbooks kindly explained it a few months ago, thank you so much!). French link stitching glued with PVA as per usual, although no tapes or mull.

The cover is made of scrapbook paper and is glued directly to the flyleaf (flyleafs? flyleaves?), although as you can see below I added an extra layer of kraft paper to give it more of a "board" feel:

The pictures in this post are of my second/author copy, with an added a half-centimeter hinge so the spine can open more easily. My first copy did not have a hinge so it's a little stiff when you open it, but it gets the job done baha. Now I know for future binds in this size: hinges are the way to go!

DESIGN (or, as I call it, VibesTM)

The first line of this fic has lived rent-free in my brain for months now: They sat at the New Inn until the afternoon melted into evening, the sunlight thickened to a rich orange, and the late crowd began to trickle into the inn in chattering groups. I remember reading it late at night and immediately sitting up and going "oh hell yeah." This fic gives me that "walking to class in the fall semester and feeling the whole world passing you by and you have books to read and papers to write but you see your friend from across the quad and they wave at you and you wave back and everything is okay, maybe, because the leaves are turning and you're going to make it, dammit, you are going to make it" vibes. So the cover paper is from one of Michael's paper packs, called "Autumn Blaze."

HOWEVER, Banhus also mentioned that the paper looks like a sandy beach, and I'm smacking myself over the head for not doing that intentionally because yes! There's a lovely lovely scene at the end where Dream and Hob are lounging on the shore of the Dreaming and are finally, finally figuring it out, and it's wonderful and so atmospheric and I am 100% going to pretend that my paper choice here was tailored for that scene specifically XD

Titling is permanent adhesive vinyl cut by my Cricut, Charlotte, with hand-drawn "bolding" around each letter done with my uniball Signo white gel pen. And since I've been trying to get better at documenting my fonts, the titling for this one was Perpetua Titling MT, and the body was my go-to Garamond my beloved.

As a bonus, here is my first go at binding this fic, but in quarto letter size instead of legal! Smol :3

And that's all for today! Thank you so much, Banhus, for letting me bind your work! It was a pleasure, and I can't wait for you to receive your copy <3

All my love!

Death and the Prince

My next binding! This one is based off of @arahir​‘s lovely work, Death and the Prince. All of arahir’s stuff is great, but I chose to do this one because my (graphic designer) boyfriend offered to make the cover for me. And boy is it a cool cover.

Once I saw how ridiculous it was I also let him know he was going to be weeding it as well, which was a (predictably) terrible experience for everyone involved. He also designed some of the interior chapter headers, which turned out pretty neat. There’s a different one for each character.

(the text isn’t printed blurry, it just looks like it on my camera for whatever reason)

And here are the beautiful endpapers. I love buying golden marbledy papers, can you tell?

More info about the binding process under the cut.

This binding was a little more fraught with errors than my previous one (terrible weeding job of the fiddly cover aside) as I accidentally forgot to trim the covers before putting the cloth on. Which I’m pretty sure I only did because I messed up the spine and it came out super wonky, large on one side and small on the other, and I had to rip all that out and do it again and I got stressed out by the whole thing. Whoops.

I’m so sorry, beautiful duo cloth. At least I was forced to buy a crap ton of you due to Talas’ insane shipping (I had to make the shipping costs worth it!) so I still have a bunch left over. Maybe I’ll try and make a text block that will fit in there. The dimensions are almost 5x7, which is a respectable size for a book, it just doesn’t fit as well in my hand as much as the 4.5 x 6.75 one does. Ah, who am I kidding, they’re almost the same. I’ll make it work.

Anyway, this was a pretty easy bind except for the above nonsense, only 4 signatures which got sewn up pretty quickly. I used the 7mm gutter space again because I wanted the spine to be prevalent since it would have text on it, and I think it turned out looking great for such a small book. Bookcloth is duo (again, I love you duo) in grape, which is a lovely red/purple color that shifts in the light. End papers are marbled jute from Mulberry Papers. Cover is HTV and Cricut and was such a dumb idea for such a fiddly little design. I might try printing on cloth next time and using the toner reactive foil because this was just the hugest pain. But even with all the little problems it had it ended up looking great.

Look at it on my shelf there! So cute! (Also check out my first printing hardback copy of Goblin Emperor, that was the find of a century at $7.99, also that paper cut version of Emma on the end, also very cheap, I love you Half Price Books and your dumb pricing system)

Arahir if you see this thank you so much for all your great writing! Everything you write is incredible, there will probably be more bindings of yours in the future because I love everything you do. If anyone has any questions about the binding process please let me know! I’m still very new at binding and trying to get better so any criticism or help is welcome.

So I painted my yoga mat... I'm including the process and credits below the cut.

So, I have been wanting a cork yoga mat for a while. Do I need one? No. Will I pick up yoga again for a month and then quit? Hopefully not, but likely yes.

Every time I get back into yoga, I start looking at cork yoga mats because they're grippier and also very very pretty. The only problem is... they are friggin' expensive.

I first was attracted to cork yoga mats because of some of the really amazing designs, but I can't afford this shit. Instead, I settled for a cheaper cork yoga mat that is plain, and I thought that if I saved up enough money and still cared about yoga enough to buy a fancy one, I would.

But then I got to thinking... could I paint my yoga mat? And the answer is yes, yes I can.

I originally got the idea when I read online of other people doing this to their rubber and PVC mats, so you do not need a cork mat to do this!

Buying the Mat

Even an inexpensive cork yoga mat is still far more than I've ever spent on one before, so I had to choose wisely. I ended up choosing the Gaiman cork yoga mat, which is about 5mm in thickness. It's roughly 68 x 24 inches. One thing I had read is that cork mats can get quite heavy, but this one is pretty lightweight while still being cushy. I was really tempted to use it right away, but I didn't want it to get dirty or oily before I painted it.

The Design

I am not an artist. I cannot draw well enough to freehand something confidently. What I do have is a Cricut Maker. If you don't know what a Cricut Maker is, it's an ill-advised purchase that I got secondhand and is actively ruining my budget. Depending on the model, it can cut out designs on a variety of materials, such as vinyl or infusible ink and can even tool leather. I used cardstock for this project to cut out stencils.

There are many free SVG templates out there as well as images created by other Cricut Makers that are only .99 each. There are many, many other places where you can purchase designs as well, or you can create your own! I am not talented enough to create my own design.

I tried several free SVGs, didn't like them, and then stumbled on this on Design Space, the Circut Maker program/shop. To quote Macklemore, "But shit, it was 99 cents!"

The image was designed by GlamSVG by Emylia and the inspiration came from an embroidery pattern by Emily June, which you can find HERE. I went through an embroidery phase during quarantine, and I have mine hung on the wall. I look at it daily.

I had to resize this image to fit my yoga mat, which ended up being 24 x 36". Because I cut the stencil out of cardstock, I had to segment everything into 8.5x11 pieces, cut, weed, and then piece it all back together on the mat. Once I had all the pieces, I stuck them to transfer paper to keep the floating segments in place. I organized and labeled everything so I could put it back together again easily. It looked like this:

Once it was assembled, I sprayed the backs with temporary adhesive so the stencils would stay down. I removed the transfer paper and began painting the outline. I did end up losing a couple of the floating pieces (see the letter O and the leaf on the far right side), so I had to freehand some of it. Overall, the stencil turned out great!

I had a variety of success with the temporary adhesive. Because I bought a more inexpensive mat, I soon discovered how not durable it is. The 'temporary' adhesive pulled up small pieces of cork after I removed the stencil. This was partially my fault, since I didn't pull up the stencil as I went. Still, there were pieces that were going to lift anyway. This revealed that the cork is only one layer, but fortunately, each piece of cork that lifted was quite small and unnoticeable, and the thread behind it matched in color. It wasn't ideal, but I could live with it.

Some of the cardstock became permanent fixtures on the mat, which I then had to paint over. Also, some of the stencil didn't stick at all, so I had minor bleed through. Problems all around! But it still turned out nicely!

I need to preface that I have never painted anything before. Well, that's a lie. I've painted a wall, and six years ago I had a Bob Ross themed birthday party. The SO, however, is the son of an artist and taught me about mixing acrylic. His first tip was to test out colors. I used Paint.Net and came up with this mock-up:

I knew I wanted the heart anatomy to be shades of red, so that was easy. The flowers were harder. I tried my favorite colors, like yellow and purple, but it didn't sit right visually. I turned to Canva Color Wheel to help me find complementary colors to the shades of red I wanted to use. That's how I came up with the pretty blues. To mix the colors, I used ColorHexa to show me the percentage of CYMK I needed.

Here are some progress shots:

I'm super happy with how it turned out! My color mixing didn't turn out exactly like the mock up, but I love the results. The last step was to let it dry for at least 48 hours. Then I set it with Mod Podge Acrylic Sealer.

I chose Mod Podge since it's non-toxic, and I will be putting my face on it. Also, my dogs walk on it while I do yoga. They think it belongs to them. :) Knowing now that there is only 1 layer of cork, I do worry how it'll hold up to dog nails over time.

Lastly, the real test was to see if it would roll, and it does! So now I just need a yoga strap, and I'm good to go!

Fanbinding 4: Cover

Current project: A Choriambic Progression

Previously: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Disclaimer: still new at this. Please don't judge me. And also this is just what I do and really when it comes to some of the smaller details, that's personal choice and stuff you'll decide once you get going and know what you wanna do with it!

This is the most...personal/particular part of the whole process! A lot of what I do here is making stencils with my Cricut Joy.

1.) I go into Cricut Design Space, start a new project, and throw down the title and author name. I know my machine is small and my mat is 4x6 inches so I make sure the font fits within that space.

2.) Select a font and size...Not gonna lie, Cricut Design Space has very...frilly fonts. It's hard to find fonts that are dramatic enough that I also know will cut the way I need it to.

I have to do this twice, once for the cover and once for the spine. The spine will obviously need different dimensions!

3.) Then I cut out a bit of permanent vinyl, then load it up on my mat, and run it through my machine!

4.) Once that's done, I cut around the title and name so I can better see the size and decide where best to stick it.

5.) then I peel and stick!

6.) From there, I choose a paint pen I like (for this I used copper) and I trace the stencils. (I also had to use a Cricut tool to pick out some of the vinyl that got stuck between letters)

7.) I give it a few minutes to stay in place and dry.

8.) then: peel!

9.) I also use a Modge Podge spray to protect it.

10.) Once it's all dry (or in this case, I got impatient and did this part while waiting for the paint to dry lol), I pick out my book corners and fit them around the corners and hammer them down!

And that's done!

I'm no pro or anything but hey...I can make a book! 😁

FAQs

What do I need to connect my Cricut Explore Air 2 to computer?

If you are connecting your Explore Air 2 machine via Bluetooth, you need a computer with in-built Bluetooth features. You also need a Cricut machine of any model. In addition, you should have a flat surface like a table or a floor to position your machine. Despite this, if you are connecting your Cricut via Bluetooth, you should have a USB cable instead of Bluetooth.

Can I connect all Cricut models to Bluetooth?

Not all Cricut models have Bluetooth connectivity. The Cricut Explore, Cricut Maker Setup, Joy, and Venture series are easily connectable via Bluetooth because they have built-in Bluetooth. However, older Cricut models, like the Explore One machine, require a wireless Bluetooth adapter. In short, all Cricut models except the Explore One can be connected using Bluetooth.

Why is my Cricut not connecting?

If your Cricut machine is not connecting to your device, you might need to check the following points:

If you are connecting it to the USB cable, check whether your cable is damaged.

You can change the USB port on your computer. If the issue persists, you need to replace the USB cord.

If you use Bluetooth, ensure you have placed the device and machine within 10 to 15 feet of each other.

What is the Best Cricut Software in 2023?

Cricut is a powerful and versatile machine that can precisely cut and craft different materials. To help out crafters, Cricut also offers a graphics designing tool called Cricut Design Space. It features a user-friendly interface that is very easy to use and is compatible with multiple devices such as mobile, laptop, PC, and tablet.

As a bonus, the app is free, and you can download it directly from Cricut’s official website. However, you can also use the software if you are unsatisfied with the Design Space. If you are wondering which software is compatible with your Cricut, you don’t need to look further. In this blog, we have the best Cricut Software, along with its pros and cons.

OPTION ONE: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

Adobe Photoshop is the world’s best photo editing and graphic design software without introduction. Hobbyists and professional designers widely use it to create paintings, drawings, and animations. Photoshop is also used to edit and retouch digital images, and it is quite good at vector art. It’s a robust editing toolkit that helps users to create complex designs from plain elements. When graphic designers need to create bitmaps in multiple layers or handle image masking, they turn to Photoshop.

Photoshop automatically saves your projects to the cloud. Besides the standard function, Photo Shop offers live streaming, project tracking, data storage management, and offline access. It also lets you invite other people to edit files so you can collaborate with team members on various projects. Although it’s not the most affordable software, the value that it brings to the table is hard to beat.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

Powerful web design tool

Cross-platform Integration

Intuitive interface

A wide array of high-quality templates

REASONS TO AVOID IT

Expensive

OPTION TWO: ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR

For professionals and artists, Adobe Illustrator is the best Cricut software. Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics program that allows you to create anything, such as text, shapes, and symbols, for your projects. Like Photoshop, it also lets you create complex and beautiful patterns. Use the preset workspace to customize your workforce. Although beginner-friendly, its extensive tools let you create precise and intricate models compatible with the Cricut machine.

Illustrator allows you to use multiple artboards; this feature is handy when working on projects with multiple items. Various plugins expand Adobe Illustrator’s capabilities. These plugins let you create your own custom fonts. If you need software that works well and lets you create anything, and if you’ve no problem paying for it, then Adobe Illustrator is the most suitable option.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

Compatible with different OS

An extensive set of tools can be further expanded using plugins

Best for creating new shapes

Countless shortcuts

REASONS TO AVOID

Have to pay a monthly fee.

OPTION THREE: GIMP

Although Photoshop is a great software that lets you create everything, its only drawback is its cost. If you want a free alternative to Photoshop, you can opt for GIMP. Like Photoshop, GIMP is free software that offers various features for editing images and creating original illustrations from the ground up. Its extensive brush-based tools range from the clone/heal brush to the brush/burn tool.

These brush-based tools come in handy when working with large, high-resolution images. Most people use GIMP as a photo editor, but it can also be used for graphic designing. GIMP lets you add and edit text, move and control images. It also lets you configure contrasts and curves. GIMP is one of the best Cricut software for beginners who want to create awesome art.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

User-friendly and customizable interface

Supports different formats

Lots of drawing tools

Advanced processing of graphic files

Multiple drawing tools

REASONS TO AVOID

Can’t handle CMYK color space

OPTION FOUR: CORELDRAW

Those looking for an alternative to Adobe Illustrator don’t need to look any further. CorelDraw is a full-fledged design program that lets you create everything. The program was originally designed as a rival to Adobe Illustrator. Both are great tools for vector designing and cost the same. But unlike Adobe Illustrator, where you must pay monthly, CorelDraw allows you to join for a monthly cost or pay an up-front fee.

CorelDraw gives you access to hundreds of pre-designed templates, which you can use to create stunning designs. It also lets you create designs from scratch with a few clicks. With a simple right-click, you can create complex designs and vectorization. You can design your graphics, convert them to SVG, and then send it to Design Space. CorelDraw’s extensive library of plugins is specially designed for cutting machines such as Cricut. Opt for its trial version if you still decide to go for CorelDraw.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

Simple and user-friendly interface

A free trial version is available

Works great for vectorization

Offers a range of membership types

REASONS TO AVOID IT

It doesn’t offer tools to create HDR or panoramas.

OPTION FIVE: INKSCAPE

Inkscape is another great alternative to Adobe Illustrator, but unlike Illustrator and CorelDraw, it’s free. Its interface is straightforward, so you will quickly get the hang of it, even if you are a beginner. Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor which uses SVG as its primary file type.

Although Inkscape is prone to lag, it can run on low-end laptops and tablets. With Inkscape, you can customize virtually everything- colors, lines, grid, icon type, and other elements. Designers use it to create logos and banners. You can also convert raster images into vectors and save, import, and export your projects in various formats.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

Beginner-friendly interface

It’s free

Flexible drawing tools

It lets you generate and edit SVG files

Exports in PNG and PDF

REASONS TO AVOID

Poor text editing instruments

grabs patreons and shakes them

Patreons! I haven't gotten the patreon website to load yet to make the posts but I wanted some feedback on the future of stickers

I've been thinking about making sticker/print benefits an every-other month basis reward instead of every month. Sending out stickers monthly is very time consuming in all areas, since I have to physically make each one (I use a cricut at home, so I don't order the stickers, but I have to order the paper and ink and shipping supplies and wait for them) and can be frustrating when things take a while to ship or end up lost in the mail + the overall process.

And to be honest, it's getting a harder to afford things for supplies to make and ship everything with inflation right now, and while I've been told to do so, I'm really not a fan of having to raise my prices.

So if possible! I'd like to be able to start doing more other benefits, like clay crafts, youtube videos (speedpaints, cosplay crafts, traditional painting, art tutorials ect). I'd like to more often consistently update my patreon with more varied posts, especially of things I'd like to work more on. Also, sticker designs are fun and I'd still like to do them, but this would also give me the time and space to actually make a stock of them and make them more easily available on kofi without having to become a patreon, so past stickers are available.

If I can get Patreon to load, I'll have a poll over there as well as update posts, but some feedback would be appreciated!

[mephestopheles]

I keep forgetting how goddamn obnoxiously complicated Cricut design space is to use. Like there's a 30% chance that an SVG I purchase will actually open in such a way that I can just hit "make".

Case in point, I'm cutting the files for the advent calendar. However before I could do that, I needed to make sure the score lines were correctly attached because despite being grouped properly, they were loading on another mat.

That's all well and good but this required ungrouping everything and then attaching the correct files together, because if you hit attach anywhere in that grouping it attached everything together , and suddenly you have an orange blob as all of the pieces are now one colour.

On the iPad you can rearrange mats and choose your print order. You cannot seem to do that on desktop (I say seem because this might have been possible but is now broken because of an update).

I can't find how to change settings on the iPad, and my Cricut defaulted to 12x24 inch mats, and when I tried to fix that which required me to manually switch 24 mats to 12x12, I lost at least 5 mats worth of stuff to print. And the thing is, I can't tell what was going on or why it was happening. So I had to work between desktop and iPad in order to get it to function.

I found some really well done intricate 3d paper craft stuff for free, and uploaded one of the projects, only for Cricut to break it and turn all the score lines into cut lines.

529 layers! I've started going through it, but dear jesus.

Another one I started uploading, that I paid for, the combined files, fucked up and I said fucked it and started up loading the individual files to attach the score lines properly and keep the names in order.

I printed the first house two nights ago, and in addition to all of these complications, the added bonus of choosing the 'wrong' material is always fun. I picked the 65lbs light cardstock, the cutting blade did a half decent job. Which means I had to cut 4 mats worth of stuff, and I'm contemplating redoing some others with a new blade and the intricate cut setting which ya know is hidden in the materials.

And let's not forget that this program is updated so often that it routinely breaks functions more often than the Sims breaks mods.

I'll end up with some nice pieces when I'm done. I would just like to enjoy the process of making them and not feel like I'm fighting the machine each time.
