What is The Cutting Cafe?
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2012 2:02 am
Have you seen these hot new products? Regina Easter is a new addition to our Digital Shoppe with The Cutting Cafe's digital templates and stamps. No doubt you've seen some of her beautiful paper crafts in the gallery, using her products. I asked Regina to share a little more information about what exactly these digital templates, stamps and cutting files are and how to use them. Don't be fooled by the digital exterior, these incredible new products are for crafters of all styles!
The Cutting Cafe is a one stop shop for affordable printable stamps and cutting files. "There are two great things about printable cutting files and stamps", Regina says.
1. No waiting on the mailman. You receive and download your order instantly after paying.
2. Easy to store. Downloadable files take up less space in your craft room and can easily be stored on your computer or an external device.
So what are printable stamps?
Well, printable stamps are just that... a set of outlined images like you would get from a traditional rubber or acrylic stamp. They come in a PDF file format that you print out using your home printer. Once you download your order, unzip the file and open up the PDF file. Then print out the images you wish to use and color in using Copics markers, water color pencils or pens, just as you would any other stamped image. Digital scrapbookers can skip the printing step and use the images as they are, even adding color with the paint tool.

Why I like The Cutting Cafe Stamps... no trimming rubber or mounting necessary, less expensive, very little storage space needed, no fussing with messy ink pads, ANY color or size that I need and reusable as often as I want!
So what are cutting files?
Well cutting files are images that can be hand cut or used with cutting machines like: Silhouette (Cameo), Bosskut Gazelle, Pazzles Inspiration machine and any other cutting machine that accepts SVG, PDF or WPC formats.
All of the files come in the formats of SVG, PDF and WPC. Check with the instructions in your machine, if they accept either of the three formats, you will be able to cut the cutting files using your cutting machines.
No cutting machine necessary, the file will also come in PDF format for hand cutting. Most all of the cutting files are designed to be easy to cut out. The look of your finished product will vary based upon the papers you use and how you embellish it. Digital scrapbookers can create hybrid crafts by designing on the computer before printing and assembly.
