Hi everyone,
I am going to start making cards to sell and I am looking for royalty free svg and scut files to use. Many people share files but only want people to use them for personal use.
Thanks!!!!
Courtney
Royalty free scut
Re: Royalty free scut
I used to create painting designs for magazines. I was always paid a fee for their use of my design and I signed a contract/ release to allow the magazine to use my design for a commercial purpose. The same is true for cutting files. Most designers require a fee to use their cutting files for commercial use when you plan to resell the items created with them. (Since they did the work to create the file, they would want you to pay them if you are using their files to make a profit from them.)
But each designer has a tou policy so best to ask and get permission if they will allow commercial use.

Re: Royalty free scut
How about if you use someones image to enter into a contest to win a prize?
Re: Royalty free scut
It would be better to get their permission before using the design. Also give them credit as the designer when you enter the contest since they did the work to create the cutting file and should be acknowledged.judyjo wrote:How about if you use someones image to enter into a contest to win a prize?

Delores, can I assume this includes images from cartridges?

Re: Royalty free scut
Anything you find at clker.com (one interface for the open clipart libary) is in the public domain and can be used on items for sale, so that is one source.
Another suggestion would be to buy royalty free clipart and convert it to svg. (check licensing agreement, but this should be ok as long as you are selling items, not the files themselves.
The files at http//www.myvinyldesigner.com are made to resell.
You might also want to check vectorstock.com.
Another idea is to do really custom stuff. For instance, instead of cutting an image of A wedding cake, trace a photo and cut an image of THEIR wedding cake. Create silhouettes from your client's photos, etc. Not only does this solve the copyright problem, but it gives you a one of a kind product the customer can not buy elsewhere.
Good luck with your new venture.

Good news from ProvoCraft. Looks like you can sell cards with cartridge images without running afoul of the angel policy!
