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. 
Each paper pack comes in a Zip Folder. All files added in the future will be in the NEW folder and will be organized by month. 
All Digital Papers may be used for Personal and Commercial Use!


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.

CRICUT: Slicing large images in Design Space

Ever wanted to cut something larger than the 12" x 12" or 12" x 24" mat?

Well, here's how you do it using Cricut Design Space. I'm using a tree image from the Zoobaloo© cartridge.

• Insert your image on to the canvas and resize it to the height or width you want your finished project to be. I'm setting the height of this tree to 50 inches.
