SBC Says “hi” to cut files!
I’m really excited to see this new offering from Scrapbook.com. They’re always coming out with products that are really on-trend with the stamping and papercrafting world, and this one is no exception. Cover dies are really popular right now, and, if you have an e-cutter (Silhouette Cameo, Cricut, Brother Scan-n-Cut, etc.), you can get the same effect with an overlay cut file.
Which is better?
Well, that’s really a matter of what you want to do with it.
- Cut files are great if you need to cut a lot. You can let the machine go and just swap out cardstock while you work on something else.
- If you want to change the size of the design, or adjust the design itself, cut files are for you. Can’t do that with a metal die…
- If you want to cut different materials that a die can’t normally cut like fabric, chipboard or even cake fondant sheets, you’ll want the cut file.
- If you’re travelling to a crop or craft retreat and you don’t want to drag your computer and cutter along (and they won’t have one there), well, you’ll want a die.
- If it’s a design or shape you’re going to use often, or if it coordinates with stamps, you’re probably going to want the dies.
Of course, cut files are really inexpensive (compared to a die), and you can even find some for free – but, you do have to foot the bill for the e-cutter. So, perhaps price is really negligible.
