Thursday Product review: SVGs

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Thursday's Product Review! Today we will be sharing some ins and outs of SVG's!

What are SVG you ask?

According to Wikipedia, the definition of a SVG file is: Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for describing two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic (i.e. interactive or animated).

To me that is blah,blah,blah! LOL!!!  So lets go a bit simpler for us scrapbookers and not a techy.

SVG- according to Sandy...

a cut file that uses little vectors to cut out an image. Think of it as "connect the dots". That is exactly what your machine is doing. 

So by connecting the dots, your Cricut Explore and Silhouette will make a cute die cut image.   You do need a software program to use a svg and there has to be a connection from your computer to your cutting machine.

So there you have the basic info. Now our SBC DT Sher made up this easy SVG file for us to use to make this awesome card design...

This file is available in Scrapbook Blessings Club on Facebook if you should have trouble with the link.

Now, I know not everyone does svg's so Sher made us this great template to use!
