Also, if you sign up for their newsletter they send you bonus freebies! This Free Adventure Awaits cut file (hand lettered by Dawn Nicole below) is one of my favorites!
- By Dawn Nicole– Dawn is a crazy talented Artist and Hand Letterer (is that a word?!) She makes lots of really fun Silhouette projects and my favorite part is many of her free cut files are hand lettered so completely unique files you won’t be able to get anywhere else!! You can find many of her hand lettered creations on Kimber Dawn Co above, but she also has a lot of awesome freebies on her own blog. I used this fun free straw topper cut file on New Years, but wouldn’t it be adorable for an engagement party too!?
- Silhouette School Blog– This is the mecca for learning all things Silhouette. Melissa not only breaks it all down into tutorials on her site, but she also offers a ton of freebies! So if you haven’t checked it out set aside some serious time to browse all the awesomeness you will find on her site! She always has seasonal and holiday cut files and one of my year round favorites perfect for any coffee lover is this I Love You A Latte coffee mug cut file.
- Fynes Designs– If anyone has impeccable design, it is Virginia Fynes! Besides giving away tons of gorgeous free cut files, she makes some of the most amazing projects and creations and is so generous with her knowledge on her blog. She is the undisputed master of the scroll saw and creates some real masterpieces with it, but I think my favorite project from her site are these adorable Santa Sacks, which she offers a free cut file for! Are you as in love with these as I am?
- Infarrently Creative– Beckie has been a long time friend of mine who I admired WAY before I even knew her. Her projects are always without a doubt stunning. She does especially amazing things with furniture rehabs and wooden signs. This Be The Good Sign is one that I fell in love with the moment I saw it!

- Marvelous Mommy– I really love this site because not only does she have tons of projects, but the free cut files she offers are not your same ol’, same ol’ , a lot of them are super cool 3-d files to make awesome things like little girl tea cups and cute cupcake dessert boxes. LOVE!
- Pitter and Glink– This blog doesn’t have a ton of free files, but I had to include her because I am in LOVE with her “I just want to make pretty things” typographic t-shirt project with free cut file. It seriously speaks to my soul!
- The Latest Find – Tons of super cute free files here. These are available in an SVG format which means you will need the Silhouette Designer Edition Software to use it. You can either get the software upgrade (usually the best deal on Amazon
here) or open the jpeg file she provides and use the trace function. I really love this cute mason jar cut file!

Thank you! I found the tutorial on offsetting text, and welding, very helpful.
If you ever come across a recipe template, that can be typed on and printed, I’d love to know. I scrapbook as well, and haven’t found one.
Thanks again!
