Using Bulletto Killa font in Inkscape

Bulletto Killa is a great free non-commercial use font available from Dafont.com. You can download it from here: http://www.dafont.com/bulletto-killa.font

It has similar swooshes to the Brannboll Font. However, the swooshes from Bulletto Killa don’t work directly in Design Space. This is how you’ll be able to use them.

Cricut Adhesive foil project

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links. The products used in this project were supplied by Provocraft. This is my honest review.

Here's a quick project I made using the Cricut Adhesive Foil.

The foil colour I used was Stainless Purple. The Cricut foils are a removable product so you can use them to create temporary labels or decorations.

They're easy to weed and much easier than vinyl to apply as they don't have as much adhesive on them. I found that transfer tape needed a bit of coaxing to stick to the foil.

I used a Make it Now project that was meant for a wine glass. Here's the link to the project: Wine Glass Decals Make it Now project

I hid all but two rows of decals, enlarged the remaining rows and cut them. 

There is a Custom Foil setting but I bumped up the cut setting to Iron On Neon to get it to cut just a touch deeper. It's possible my blade is getting slightly blunt and this setting made it super easy to weed.

I placed it on a "Skurar" bucket from Ikea. Sadly you can't see the shine of the foil in my photo! 

The foil comes in Gold, Silver, Stainless Gold, Stainless Silver and Stainless Purple and you can find it here:  Cricut Adhesive Foils

The Gold and Silver are super shiny and really have the same look as using foils in a Minc machine. 

The rolls are 12" x 48" long and are currently on sale for $5.99 per roll. (Regular price is $9.99 per roll.)

I'm planning on using the foils and the Cricut Window Cling to decorate my windows for Christmas. (Assuming a bunch of Christmas elves arrive to help me!)

Happy foiling!  ♥

Two awesome deals for crafters over at The Hungry JPEG.

If you love digital paper then take a look at the Digital Scrapbook Paper Bundle.
This amazing deal includes all of the artists current Digital Scrapbook Paper Designs as well as ALL of their FUTURE designs!  You will have access to over 100 different paper packs. That's paper PACKS folks! You will have access to thousands of different digital papers! 

The cost of this bundle is $50. Here's the link: Digital Scrapbook Paper Bundle

All of the digital papers come as high resolution jpeg files.  
Most paper packs are 12" x 12" size.  These papers are ideal for Scrapbooking, craft projects and more.  
Most of the papers are not seamless.  (Relevant if you're going to be uploading the patterns into Cricut Design Space.)
When you purchase this listing, you will receive a pdf file with a download link. Just click on the link and you will be taken to a download page. You can then download and save each folder individually.

Second is the The Get Crafty Font Bundle.
This $15 bundle that includes 12 beautifully designed 100% accessible fonts. Each font includes a range of alternate characters that can be fully accessed through either a Windows or Mac computer without the requirement for fancy design software.

Each font also includes lots of PUA (Private Use Area) Encoded Characters. You can use a character map to access these characters in the same way you do with the Samantha font. 

Here's a (very) quick example of one of the fonts (Beauty Atok Script Italic) and one of the papers from the Ultimate Digital Paper Bundle. (Antique Music). There's 16 different music papers in this set alone.
