I wholeheartedly love using my Cricut, but one of the most stressful aspects for me is finding free commercially licensed SVGs. There are literally MILLIONS of free SVGs, for personal use only. As a very small business owner, it can be frustrating having to spend more money than I’m making in order to profit at all.
It’s extremely important to be sure that the designs you’re using for crafts, specifically ones that you’re selling, are commercially licensed. Using an artists SVG that isn’t commercially licensed for profit is theft! I keep my commercial/personal SVGs organized separately in clearly marked folders to avoid any confusion or error.
My favourite SVG site I use to find free, commercially licensed SVGs is LoveSVG. They upload new freebies every single day, but also keep ‘expired’ freebies from the last few days as well. They also have SVGs that I’ve purchased because they have such a great inventory! But still, I yearn for more.
I recently stumbled upon an amazing blog post from Fields of Heather, where she managed to compose a massive list of websites which you can find here. Each website has legitimately free, commercially licensed fonts and SVGs! I downloaded over 200 SVGs and fonts last night. Seriously! I couldn’t take my eyes off of the screen. I discovered so many unique artists like Designs by Aymara, Debbie Does Design, and Hoop Mama.
Enjoy creating and be sure to credit your favourite graphic designers!
Stay safe and stay inspired,
