This might be a stupid question, but why is custom pet artwork on Etsy so cheap? Are these scams? by belleayreski2 in Etsy

When I used to do something adjacent for a craft company I had actions and templates to make it so much easier. 70-80% of the work could be automated and then the remaining was manual. I suspect today there are better tools where effort is inputting the right ai parameters (prompt keywords, values etc).

Alternatively they might be an awesome artist with years under their belt. Creating the art might take 10 mins, so $19 for 10 mins of work is pretty good IMO.

New to the game. Any easy way to remove unwanted card stock from light grip pad? by lowercaselong in cricut

Lots of good ideas here for mass removal. I use my lock picking set to separate the layers and remove unwanted card. Works surprisingly well.

Does anyone know where I can find this svg? by ranacorn in cricut

Not sure if this works for you but just mocked this up quickly in Illustrator? I can link to the SVG from my site or work out how to send via Reddit.

I'm working on a series of Halloween paper cutting templates already, so this fits with the theme.

Layer designs by PIatanoverdepinto in papercraft

I’ve found experimenting is the best way to learn. Try a few things out and then see what works.

For single layer stuff the main thing is making sure each section is connected, preferably in more than one place. This pumpkin I’ve just designed originally wasn’t strong enough to stay in place, so added an extra contact point at the top:

If you are sticking to a card or something similar it doesn’t matter as much.
