ACOT Message Board

I have heard from many of you (and others!) that you don't have access to a cricut/silhouette and would love pre-cut out cut files. This would be kind of hard to offer with all 177 designs I have designed so far... and the endless amount of labor to always cut these out myself ha! So another idea I had was to offer just a few bundles of pre-cut cut files that I make ahead of time. These would be cut out in white cardstock, with maybe 6-7 ish designs in a bundle.

I'm not sure how many to make up though of each bundle, so just trying to gauge interest! Thanks!

I am interested for sure!  I love using cut files but do not have an electronic machine.

I absolutely would be interested!

Yes I would be interested.

I too would be interested. I have the older cricut and don’t really see myself upgrading. I can see the problem with the bundles and trying to make sure the cuts are generic enough that they would be used by everyone….. Maybe do a couple different categories? Birthday, Christmas, School, Camping…. That way we would know the theme of the bundle? 

Im interested

I have an electronic cutting machine and access to scores of (free) cutf-files; HOWEVER, like you mentioned, it’s a little work to get them cut (especially the intricate ones) and I hate the sticky pad, and so on. I once subscribed to a pre-cut -file bundle of the month that offered the exact same files I already had - all so I wouldn’t have to haul out my machine. 

I’m on the fence. 2025 is supposed to be my year of not spending willy-billy but, if I’m being honest, I’d probably buy a few bundles!

I really would Love it!! I do not have a cricut or any type of machine that can do cut files. I have gotten some pre-cut files in Kits before and  I sure would like to do more!

i love this idea!!  however, i chose "not sure"  because i don't usually scrap 12x12.  if there were files sized better for 8.5x11, i would absolutely buy them!!

i'm not opposed to buying larger precut files, but since i don't do many 12x12 pages, i wouldn't want allll of them to feature a cutfile.

i really do think this is a great service though and i hope you're able to figure out a way to offer precut files that works for ACOT 

Most definitely!!!  I have what I think is the first Cricut, cannot figure it out.  Always love premade cut files, but cannot remember where I used to get them.

May I suggest a bundle of the different holidays/seasons?  Maybe a girl/boy bundle that includes birthdays?  Just to start and go from there!

I would love it. 

I would love this option!  I have a Big Shot and a  Gemini but no way to have the intricate designs that cut files offer.... I would definitely buy if offered!

I had actually voted no because of this same situation. I've switched to 8.5x11 for the most part. If there were a bundle with smaller sized cuts that would fit my pages, then I'd be interested in bundles since I don't have a machine.

I'm also an 8.5x11 scrapper.  I have been able to use a lot of 12x12 cutfiles by cutting them into smaller pieces.  It's true, I could never use the 12x12 cutfile "as is", but I've had fun with them nonetheless!  Many times I've used one cutfile on several layouts.  It's like having an extra bag of "spare parts"! Here are a few!

I get ya!

I do have a cut machine, but I think I would be interested in a bundle as well.  Sometimes I see a cut file that I could use maybe once and I don't want to buy the file.  So this is a nice option to offer a bundle of cut files.

Oh yes! Even though I mostly do 8 1/2 x 11 these days, I like cut files. I don't have a way to print/cut them myself, though. 
I could see myself buying a bundle of pre-cuts and having a blast!  

I voted no because I have tons of dies that I use with my Big Shot. I also heat emboss most titles or large sentiments from a similarly large collection of stamps.
