Hello. Welcome to the Circus! I have been busy at my children's school the past few weeks helping make decorations for our annual carnival fund raiser "Webbfest" that we do each year. This year's theme was the Greatest Webbfest on Earth and was based on the Circus. I will show you several things that I did to help the decorations committee. This is the first one. This is from a coloring page we found simply by doing a google search for free circus coloring pages. I then used my Make the Cut software to pull it in and create a cut file for use with my Cricut machine. I have then used my MTC software to export it out as an .svg file for use by those who may use other software and/or cutters. (I took that .svg file and broke it apart in Inkscape and that is the file I am sharing here).
Isn't he cute?! If you would like my
MTC file you can download it here. If you would like the
.svg file, you can download it here. Sorry, but you cannot use .mtc or .svg files with Design Studio (DS) or the Gypsy. However, I will be showing you some cute things we made with the PC cartridge, Carousel, as well. I bought that cartridge specifically for us to use with our Carnival this year. Money well spent as we did LOTS of things with it. However, they really wanted an elephant on the ball like this one and there wasn't one on the cartridge. So, I quickly found this one and made the file and cut him out for them. They were amazed how easy it was to do!
Just a quick note: If you have been considering purchasing MTC, you might want to do so this week. A
new and improved version of MTC is coming within the next few weeks and if you already own MTC, there is never a charge to upgrade. However, there are some significant new features that are being added as well as support for use with at least one other cutter and I suspect (have no actual knowledge of it however) that there
might be a price increase coming with these new improved features. The software will still be worth the money with the new features being added BUT why pay more if you don't have too?

Note: I am not affiliated with MTC and I do not get any money for others purchasing it. I am just a happy user who knows what all you can do with it and that even more is coming very soon. MTC and SCAL both are why I still have my Cricuts and didn't buy another cutter because they let me truly create as I want! However, since I still have my Cricuts, Gpsy, and DS I still buy cartridges thus a win-win for me and PC!
