What Would You Love to See in the Library

Hey friends! I’ve been feeling inspired lately and want to start drawing some new design elements for the library. Before I dive in, I’d love to hear from you.

Are there any specific designs, motifs, phrases, or artwork elements you wish were in the library but haven’t seen yet?

Think:

  • Icons or illustrations you’ve been searching for
  • Phrases or sentiments you’d love to craft with
  • Seasonal or holiday themes
  • Faith-based or inspirational elements
  • Crafting tools, hobbies, or decorative styles
  • Anything you’ve wanted but can’t quite find

I want to draw pieces that you actually want to use, so your ideas will help guide what I create next.

Drop your suggestions in the comments — I’m excited to bring some of your wishes to life.

What a great idea! Honestly, most of the time I look in the library for designs that can be layered onto vinyl or paper. And I’m disappointed to see very pretty designs that are meant for the print and cut option because they’re images with lots of colors, details, and fine lines.

Thank you! Yes, I plan to draw SVG designs meant for layered cutting. So, if there are any specific elements you’d like to see, feel free to list them here. It’s always hard for me to choose what to draw. I find it best when I’m being told what to do. :laughing::+1: There are so many possibilities, I can’t narrow it down to just one. :heart:

In general, what I look for most, and can’t find much variety or options in, are basic things like leaves, branches, trees, flowers, plants, animals, vehicles… and the shapes within the program itself are limited. :sweat_smile:

Ok, thanks so much for the suggestions. :heart: Are there any specific animals you’d like to see? I love drawing them. I’ll be sure to write all of these down and start working on them.

I usually make animal-themed things for babies, so I look for animals with a more childlike and cute aesthetic. :hatching_chick:

Hello,i would also be very happy to see animals,especially alpacas,as the ones in the library dont look like alpacas.I love alpacas :heart_eyes: Flowers and plants would also be cool.Maybe if you have the time and inclination you could also make something like a forest,mountains or beaches for shadowboxes.Sayings would also be cool.Preferably for standard cut ,so it can be used for vynil and paper. Thank you for your efforts :slightly_smiling_face: :cherry_blossom:

Oh can you make some better paper flower templates for new paper crafting people lol I looked for a rose :rose: and a daisy :blossom: and I couldn’t find any that looked good!

Thanks so much for your kind words! :blush: Yeah, I’ve also been thinking about that. I definitely am going to try to create more rolled flower designs. I’ve never actually drawn them before, but I don’t think it’ll be too difficult to do. :heart:

I’d like to know what happened with the Artists Program

Hi @redhada! Nice to see you! :heart: Idk about the Artist Program. I’ve just been sending my SVGs to Jodie and she adds them to the library. So far, I’ve done a couple of cards and some envelope templates. Was having trouble creating SVGs for a little while, but I figured out what I was doing wrong, so now I’m excited and ready to create some art. :laughing::+1:

Just remembered, Shirley, there’s a cool daisy that’s already in the library under Yellow 3D Flower.

Of course you can use whatever colors you choose, but it does make a cute daisy or even sunflower. Here’s one that I made with it.

There’s also this one:

If you stretch it to make it wider before cutting, it makes a cute daisy.

Here’s what it looks like without stretching:

I have been in contact with the girls about the artist collaboration program, and some issues have come up that need to be resolved before the program can be launched. I can’t tell you when it will be launched, but I hope it will be soon.
