So one thing I saw over the weekend that I need to learn more about are Cut Files?  Where have I been?  And looking at the Joannie's Challenge there are so many cute ones - but where do you get them??  

[lissahope26]

Do you have a Cricut or other electronic cutting machine?  If not, Bella Blvd puts out some cute ones that are cut for you.

Confessions of a Paper Addict on Etsy has thousands of cut files for sale. They are not expensive. You are buying the file and you would need a cricut/electronic die cutter to cut them out. Also Cricut Design Space has lots of images that you can use as a cut file to back.

I get all mine when people offer them for free or just make my own with simple images taken off google!
Paige Evans has lots of amazing ones for free in her group on FAcebook.

Thanks for that reminder on Bella Blvd.   I just added four of those to my basket!

I was also going to suggest Paige Evans - she has a Facebook group called Happy Scrappy place. She offers free ones once a week and gave out 9 of them on NSD!

If you don't have a machine that can cut them, you can buy ones like the ones from Bella Blvd posted above.

I get mine from various places that offer them for free. PhotoPlay offers them via a newsletter for a limited time. There's some sites that offer them for free too. And it was mentioned that Cricut Design Space has a nice collection.

I have a couple of other places I check for cut files too besides Paige Evans.  
Just Nick studios.  She’s Canadian and works a lot with Vicki Boutin.  
Also Pear Tree Designs.  She in the UK.
I have gotten some from PhotoPlay too!

Thank you for all those suggestions...I have a really old silhouette - not even sure it still works it's been so long since I've used it....might be a fun rainy day project!!

You can get them from the Silhouette Design store. They are usually only 99¢ but they have a free section, and they usually offer a free design every week.

I have the original silhouette portrait and hadn't used it in 6 years. Turned it on in March and it worked! I had to update the software (and was trying to do it with the program open so it wasn't working- took a day to figure that out). I've been using it a ton in the last couple of months.

If you don;t have a cutting machine and there isn;t time to buy a pre-cut file you an also look for a free file, print it out and just hand cut it.  One place that has quite  few freebies is https://www.printablecuttablecreatables ... /freebies/ as well as https://poofycheeks.com/free-cut-files/

Miss Kate cuttables used to have a freebie every day - not sure about now

I bought some of those Bella Blvd cut files here AND I also bought a ton of "lace" paper eons ago. I think they could work.
Also, I've considered asking people who sell them if they'd JUST print some for me. I mean, I would pay the download fee and a little extra to have them made.
I've also been known to get creative with foam stamps and an Exact-o knife!
