Another month has come and gone and the doings on my Creative Fabrica Fans page continue to grow so I thought it would be a great opportunity to share some of the new file sets that have been released over the last few Mondays.

If you own a Scan N Cut, Cricut or Silhouette cutting machine, you NEED to know about this!

First up, what I’d like you to keep in mind is that subscribers got ALL of this for under £5, and so can you.

So, let me share with you the latest cutting file sets that I have released to subscribers and then I’ll let you know how to get hold of it for yourself.

Gift Card Holders

With the festive season approaching, and gift giving not being limited to that period I decided to create a range of cutting files to house and give gift cards in.

Fabulous, yes?!

Single Stroke Designs

Now, wanting to push the boat out a little I tried something different this month and created a range of single stroke designs that you could draw, emboss or foil with your machines. Sizes at around 6 inches square, these patterns can also be resized to the maximum working area, for scrapbook backgrounds for instance.

Not only that but they draw in one continuous single line and feed out of your machine as they draw (assuming your machine supports this – I tested on a Scan N Cut and it worked fine).

Here is a quick video of me showing the designs that I had drawn as testers …

Pop Up Wiper Card

This card is a subscriber voted card and is a pop up wiper card including all of the elements for you to create the one shown in the image below or your own version of it!

Neat!

TWO Subscriber Voted Projects

Now, since we last spoke something out of the ordinary happened this month. During the monthly subscriber set poll there was a tie! The top projects requested were a 3D project and a complete card making project.

Not wanting to disappoint, I decided to do both!

First was the 3D project and it was one for those that want to organise their craft stash in style. For this I create a set of magazine holder style storage caddys.

The larger of the two holds UKA5 or USA9 cards, envelopes, card and paper. The smaller holds UKA6 or USA2 sized cards, envelopes or card and paper. Better still, they are REALLY easy to put together so you can be making a whole bunch of them in an afternoon and finally get to grips with your stash.

For the second subscriber voted projects I created a complete card cutting file set.

Looks very detailed and complex but your machine does the majority of the work leaving you to do the fun bits. Measuring 5×7 inches, this is also a statement card if ever there was one.

Crumbs, that’s a lot, right?!! Can you believe subscribers get all of this for five bucks?!

Worth being a subscriber, I would say.

Subscribers can download all of these plus more from my CF Fans page. Not sure what CF Fans is? Then read on dear chum, read on.

What Is This CF Fans Thing?

Not sure what I am on about with this CF Fans thing?

Probably easier if I tell, rather than type so here’s a quick video that I released just before the launch of my page to explain what this is all about. I’ve then popped some FAQs below the video on this page.

Want more info? Then read on dear friend.

What Is CF Fans?

CF Fans is a website created by the folk behind the market place that I sell my SVG cut files on, Creative Fabrica.

It is a subscription based platform that gives “fans” exclusive content that won’t be released anywhere else, similar to Patreon.

In my case the content will include SVG cut files and printables.

When Will New Content Be Added?

New content will be added throughout the month. I have yet to establish a release schedule as this is still quite new to me but I will be working towards specific dates each month for different types of content.

Are There Other Benefits To A Subscription?

Yes!

There will be regular polls, exclusive sneak peeks at new Creative Fabrica releases, the chance to submit SVG cut file requests, exclusive hangouts and more.

How Much Does It Cost?

The minimum monthly subscription fee is $5. You can choose to pay more if you think I am worth it. That’s up to you.

The Price Is In US Dollars – Is This Correct?

Yes.

Creative Fabrica and CF Fans are based outside of the UK and use US Dollars as their default currency. To help you see what that would be in your currency, please feel free to visit XE Convert.

I Am In The UK, Will I Pay VAT?

Probably, yes.

As with all other online services, local taxes may apply. These will be displayed during checkout so you are fully aware of the total cost before committing.

Am I Locked In For An Entire Year?

No.

This is a monthly renewing subscription and if your crafting preferences change or your budget changes, you can cancel at any time.

Can I Still Buy Individual Packs?

Yes.

I will still be releasing SVG cut files via my store on Creative Fabrica and you are welcome to buy at your leisure. What you won’t find there though is the exclusive content from CF Fans.

Will You Still Do Free Stuff On This Blog?

Yes, and no. I will still be doing a range of arts and crafts and sharing that here. I will also still be announcing free stuff that I have elsewhere on the web but most likely you will need to head over to one of those sites to get it.

How Do I Sign Up?

Right, that’s it for this one.

If you have any questions or thoughts about the content of this post, please feel free to pop them in the comments section below. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!

Bye for now.

John.
